Why Hunter X Hunter Still Hasn't Released Any Anime Games Outside Japan
The Hunter X Hunter series ranks among the most popular Shonen manga and anime, but no games based on the series have been localized outside of Japan. This may seem peculiar to fans, as other popular manga like Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto have seen numerous games released in English language territories. Hunter X Hunter characters have appeared in crossover games like Jump Force. There are more than a dozen dedicated Hunter X Hunter videogames, however, and these remain exclusive to Japan. With Jump Force about to be delisted from digital storefronts, Hunter X Hunter fans will have less avenues to experience Gon Freecss and company in videogame form. The reasons for the absence of Hunter X Hunter game ports could be due to delays in manga production, the timing of the anime series’ releases, the story's sudden shifts of tone and subject matter, and happenstance of hardware.
