Nen X Impact is under development by Eighting, a renowned Japanese studio known for its work on licensed anime and manga games. With a history of collaboration on significant projects, including Nintendo's Pikmin 4 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Eighting brings a wealth of experience to this Hunter x Hunter adaptation.
What to Expect and Platforms
The teaser leaves fans cautiously optimistic about the game's development, as it suggests a format where players may select three characters at a time, possibly swapping them mid-fight for extended rounds.
While no specific platforms have been confirmed, the safe assumption includes PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Considering Eighting's history with Nintendo, a potential Switch port might also be in the cards, especially given the modest visuals seen in the teaser.
Bushiroad and Eighting have not yet announced the release date for Hunter x Hunter: Nen X Impact, which was first unveiled at Jump Festa 2024 in December 2023.
