Despite this, very few studios have dared to try to imitate it. <strong>GTA has such a distinctive identity, and its position is so dominant that very few studios dare to venture into similar territory<\/strong>. Aside from the Yakuza series and exceptions like the <a href=\"https:\/\/sleeping-dogs.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remarkable Sleeping Dogs<\/a>, hardly anyone has dared to create their own version of GTA. And even fewer have succeeded. But that doesn&#8217;t stop China from diving into creating its own rendition, albeit in its own unique way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Project Mugen from NetEase Games!<br><br>&#39;Urban open-world RPG&#39; for PS5, PC, iOS, and Android!<br><br>Could this be anime GTA? ?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GQsc8d2SMK\">pic.twitter.com\/GQsc8d2SMK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Genki\u2728 (@Genki_JPN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Genki_JPN\/status\/1693273025855234150?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 20, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Project Mugen is what would happen if we blended anime aesthetics, a futuristic setting, and all the elements we love from GTA<\/strong>. A living city where freedom of movement is paired with combat missions reminiscent of a game like Genshin Impact is what Project Mugen promises. It&#8217;s self-described as an open-world urban RPG. From what the trailer shows, it appears to be a perfect fusion of GTA and the classic Asian mobile games that have risen in popularity, much like mushrooms after the success of Genshin Impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This game is being developed by Thunder Fire Studio under the umbrella of NetEase Games, one of the major giants in China alongside Tencent and HoYoverse. <strong>The game is announced for PlayStation 5 and will, in fact, be a console exclusive for Sony&#8217;s machine, in addition to being available on PC, iOS, Android, and cloud-based systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, we won&#8217;t have to wait long to learn more. <strong>Project Mugen will have a streaming event on August 24th<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/when-gamescon-starts-dont-miss-the-most-important-fair-in-europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coinciding with Gamescom<\/a>, where more details about the game will be discussed.
