Hunter x Hunter Game Confirmed as a 2D Fighter Punching to PS5 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

The Hunter x Hunter video game project that was announced earlier in the year is now officially coming to PS5 — and we've also got confirmation that it's a 2D fighting game, and not some kind of arena brawler, as was speculated by some fans.

To give its full title, Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact is being developed by Eighting — a Japanese studio that specialises in 2D fighters. Most recently, it released DNF Duel, which is a rock solid brawler that also adapts an existing property in Dungeon Fighter Online.

What's more, Nen x Impact will actually be playable at Evo Japan, which takes place in late April. As such, it shouldn't be long until we learn much more about this promising project. Right now, we don't really know how far along its development is, but the fact it's in a publicly playable state is obviously a positive sign.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Massive fan of HunterxHunter and think it's far and away the best shonen anime. I normally couldn't care less about these anime style fighters, but my love for this universe might actually convince me to get this game. If it's better than a 6/10, I'll get it I reckon

I'm pretty sure the last big anime to get a 2D fighter was DBZ FighterZ, right? Nice to finally see another one after oh so many 3D outings. And it's Hunter X Hunter to boot! Can't wait for it!

First of all, I am not impressed by the games visuals, but also it doesn't help that I have been spoiled by Arcsys games amazing 2.5D visuals in their games.

Anyway, I am happy that it is a 2D fighter instead of another arena
