In a report to shareholders, Bushiroad corrected a previous statement regarding their console game development budgets, vowing to make solid investments towards worthwhile titles. Based on Bushiroad’s explanation, the budget for Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact<\/strong>\u2019s development and marketing could be up to ten times higher than what was originally thought (Source: Logmi Finance<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in August 2023, Bushiroad representatives announced that the company would be investing about 100 million yen (around $650k) per console game in the following fiscal year. This relatively low figure (How much is 100 million yen in the game industry?<\/a>) caused dissatisfaction and concern for Bushiroad\u2019s future titles among Japanese users, which intensified in December last year, following the announcement of the highly anticipated Hunter x Hunter fighting game (Related article<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in a financial report from February 2024, Bushiroad Director Yuki Nemoto says that the 2023 statement had been misunderstood, offering a more specific explanation: \u201cActually, development costs for visual novels range from 40 to 60 million yen, while some of our console game projects range between 500 million to 1 billion yen, including development and advertising costs. We will make solid investments towards worthwhile titles and aim for new hits in the coming fiscal year.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that contrary to the initially assumed 100 million yen, Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact\u2019s development and marketing budget could be up to 1 billion yen. Furthermore, Bushiroad\u2019s director mentions that the publisher is aware of the anticipation for the Hunter x Hunter fighting game (especially overseas) and will continue to allocate funds and resources toward the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact<\/a> is currently in development and planned for release on the PC (Steam), PS5 and Nintendo Switch.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
