You can watch the Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact Kite reveal trailer here:

Kite is a Hunter and Ging’s student. Those who only watched the 2011 version of the anime would only see him after the Greed Island arc. However, in the manga and original anime, Kite actually made an appearance before Gon even left Whale Island to take the Hunter Exam.

The Nen x Impact version of Kite seems to play like a zoner. Most of his moves use projectiles to keep the opponent at bay. His Aura Arts, Silent Waltz, can break through their defense, giving Kite the opening he needs to get in his combos. In the anime and manga, Kite’s Crazy Slots conjured a roulette that would give him a random weapon to use. Crazy Slots does not have that RNG aspect in Nen x Impact. Instead, Kite only ever uses the carbine, with Silent Waltz reserved for the aforementioned Aura Arts.

Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact is an upcoming fighting game for the popular anime and manga series, Hunter x Hunter. A total of sixteen characters will appear at launch. Aside from the main characters like Gon and Killua, you’ll be able to play as people like Feitan, Genthru, Bisky, and Meruem.

Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact will come out in Summer 2025 for the PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.
