According to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000007590.000014827.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release<\/a> from Bushiroad, the demo version will include Gon, Killua, Leorio, Kurapika, Hisoka and Netero as playable characters, which means we\u2019ll be getting a good look at some of the series\u2019 core cast members in action this weekend.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed by Eighting, Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact is a 3v3 team battle-based 2D fighting game. The player controls three characters during each battle, which means mixing and matching members will likely be a key gameplay strategy. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the game&#8217;s initial announcement, there were concerns among Japanese fans that Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact might not live up to its potential due to a <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20231219-24588\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">limited development budget.<\/a> On the other hand, overseas fans have (only half-jokingly) argued that the combination of \u201clow budget,\u201d \u201cEighting\u201d and \u201cHunter x Hunter\u201d may bring about one of the greatest fighting games in history.
