Ananta cities: Nova City and Chongxiao

Status: Reported Last verified: 2026-10-15 Applies to: Pre-launch information Recheck when: NetEase publishes a world map, district list or new city
Short answer

Two cities so far: Nova City and Chongxiao.

They are independent but connected, and the protagonist travels between them. More cities are not announced. Lingyun is a city within Chongxiao, not another name for it.
