Remember the teasers for the gorgeous anime-style open-world game Project Mugen? The game, now known as Ananta, already looked heavily influenced by GTA, and on the one-year anniversary of the GTA 6 trailer, the devs just dropped a new trailer that clearly takes a lot of cues from Rockstar's own marketing.
You might be able to dismiss some of the similarities between the Ananta and GTA 6 trailers as simple coincidences, since they're both advertising big open-world games in urban environments. But then there's the shot of the male and female protagonists bursting into scene with gun in hand. The rooftop pool party. The frequent cutaways to TikTok-style social media. The tracking shot down the crowded beach. The disaster report on the news. The part where we get a first-person view from a moving vehicle looking to the right and seeing something weird and ass-related happening on the road.
