Publishers Bushiroad Games and Arc System Works, and developer Eighting have delayed Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact from its previously planned 2024 release window to 2025 in order to implement rollback netcode. It will be available for PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC via Steam.
Here is the full message from the development team on the delay:
The release timing for Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact will be changed from the previously announced 2024 timing to now release within 2025.
We sincerely apologize for the trouble caused by this delay to the players who are looking forward to the game’s release.
This delay is so that we will be able to implement rollback netcode for release.
*Rollback netcode is a system that reduces the feeling of connection delay when playing online matches.
We made this decision out of concern that players would not be able to fully enjoy the game in a state where some players would encounter issues with online play, given the nature of fighting games.
The release date will be announced at a later time.
We appreciate your understanding, as we continue to work to provide the best game possible.
From the Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact Production Team
