Bushiroad Game and Eighting have recently dropped an exciting new trailer for Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact, unveiling two fresh faces in its character roster: Machi Komacine and Uvogin. This licensed fighting game made its initial debut announcement in December, followed by a sneak peek trailer for Nen X Impact at the beginning of 2024, showcasing six confirmed playable characters and a stylish anime art direction.
The initial trailer for Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact left fans curious about its gameplay, only hinting at it being a 3v3 tag-team brawler. Speculation arose regarding whether it would lean towards a 3D arena combat style or a classic 2D fighting experience, with many leaning towards the latter due to Eighting's previous works like DNF Duel and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. With EVO Japan 2024 now live, Bushiroad and Eighting have shed more light on the game, unveiling additional roster details and gameplay mechanics.
The latest trailer confirms that Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact is a 2D 3v3 team fighter, akin to popular titles such as the Marvel vs. Capcom series and Dragon Ball FighterZ. Players can strategically bring in teammates for support during combat, either to disrupt enemy attacks or chain powerful combos. Additionally, the trailer teases pre-match interactions between key characters, like Kurapika and Uvogin.
The trailer also spotlights Uvogin and Machi Komacine as part of the launch roster for Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact, offering glimpses of their unique abilities, with Uvogin serving as a training dummy for Kurapika's team to showcase their skills. Uvogin, a prominent antagonist from Hunter X Hunter and a member of the Phantom Troupe, stands in Kurapika's path of vengeance. Machi Komacine, another member of the troupe, is depicted as one of its most composed and ruthless members.
