ananta could release 8 weeks after gta 6, that's a tight window

So Ananta, that anime open world that's been floating around for a while, might actually be coming out January 15th. That's like 8 weeks after GTA 6 drops on November 19th. Promo materials apparently leaked the date ahead of its Gamescom appearance later today.

I know it's a PS5 console exclusive, and it's not the same as NTE, which is already out. But releasing an open world game that close to GTA 6? That's either brave or insane. Most publishers are probably running scared from that November window, and here's Ananta sliding in right after the holidays.

I'm not saying it'll flop, but who's going to be done with GTA 6 by mid January? I'll still be deep in Vice City, probably haven't even touched the story past the first few hours. Ananta looks cool though, the anime aesthetic is a nice change of pace. Maybe it'll find an audience that wants something lighter after GTA's realism.

What do you all think, is 8 weeks enough breathing room or is Ananta setting itself up to be ignored?
