Kodoani.com – Bushiroad Games announced Friday the first video for the fighting game “Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact” by Eighting, based on the manga “Hunter X Hunter” by Yoshihiro Togashi. This video reveals the first footage of the game and shows the playable characters.
The game will be released for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Bushiroad Games also announced that the game will have a demo to play at the EVO Japan 2024 event this Saturday.
Togashi launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998. The manga has spawned two anime television series, two anime films, several original video anime titles, and several stage plays. Shueisha published the manga's 37th compiled book volume, the first in four years, in November 2022.
Togashi revealed in March 2023 that chapter 401 of the series had been completed, although he did not confirm when the series would return to serialization.
The manga went on hiatus in January 2023 due to the author's health problems. At the time, Shueisha stated that they had consulted with Togashi and decided that the manga would not continue to be published in a weekly serial format in the future. The editorial board also added that when they know specific details about the manga's return and how the manga will be serialized in the future, they will reveal the details in the magazine.
Bushiroad launched Bushiroad Games in January 2023.
