Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact Confirmed for 2024
Nen X Impactalso dropped a new trailer for another playable character, Biscuit Krueger, or Bisky, her preferred nickname. Bisky is a hunter who was introduced inthe Greed Island Arc ofHunter X Hunterand is one of the most powerful and important characters in the series. She may look like a young girl, but it belies her true appearance as a tall and muscular woman. This trait is incorporated directly into her gameplay, where she is small, incredibly agile, and has a counter-based style, along with the ability to transform into her older, bulkier form. This new form directly increases Bisky’s attack and defense power, with players being able to choose between them on the fly.
Currently Confirmed Characters for Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact
Fans are concerned thatNen X Impactmight have a small launch roster, with reports of the roster being only comprised of 16 characters. Some fans believe that the game’s 2024 release window might also explain why there are few fighters to start with, considering the gap between its reveal and possible release. It’s still too early to tell though if these concerns are valid, so fans will need to wait until an official release date is given.
