In December, a fighting game based on the hit manga/anime Hunter x Hunter (https://www.destructoid.com/dnf-duel-developer-eighting-is-making-a-full-scale-hunter-x-hunter-fighting-game/) was announced. Yesterday, Bushiroad Games and developer Eighting revealed the first teaser for the game (https://www.destructoid.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=447083&action=edit), now called Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact, as well as six playable characters.

In the brief 30-second trailer, we get some in-engine footage alongside voice-overs from Gon and Killua, presumably from their original VAs. We didn't get any gameplay or release date. However, it does seem that the game will utilize 3v3 fighting similar to Dragon Ball FighterZ (https://www.destructoid.com/top-best-video-games-based-on-anime-ranked/).
As previously mentioned, it looks like the game has already confirmed six playable characters. The video shows Gon, Killua, Leorio, Kurapika, Hisoka, and Neteru all walking into a stadium and preparing for battle.
Great, another tournament arc!
Having watched the anime, it felt nostalgic to hear the VAs and see the Hunter x Hunter crew again. The graphics are a bit simple, but the game is in development, so it?ll shape up over time. Anime fighting games can be hit/miss. For every Dragon Ball FighterZ (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-dragon-ball-fighterz/), there?s a Jump Force (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-jump-force/).
It does get me excited to see who?s going to be next. Perhaps Neferpitou or Mereum? Or maybe Ging? I bet he?d show up here instead of being there for Gon?s childhood. Still a bit sore about that.
If you haven?t read or watched Hunter x Hunter, it is a must for fans of great action and even better characters. It follows Gon, a young islander, who leaves his home to become the best Hunter ever, like his father. While it may seem charming at first, it gets dark ?Chimera Ant Arc anyone??, resulting in some of the best anime you can find. It?s a long watch but it?s worth it.
Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact has no release date or platforms as of yet.
