Arc System Works and Bushiroad announced on the 10th the release date and released the official trailer for the Neferpitou DLC for Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact. The new character will be available starting October 16, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) as part of the game's Season Pass 1.

Launch and trailer reveal Neferpitou's mechanics

The released trailer showcases details of Neferpitou's gameplay, one of the Chimera Ant Royal Guards, highlighting an agile, offensive style. The footage shows the character using fast claw attacks, chargeable dashes to cross the screen, and the exclusive Terpsichora ability, which revives the fighter after a knockout if there are at least 500 points in the Aura Gauge, with temporarily enhanced powers. The animation and visual effects stay faithful to the original anime, reinforcing the franchise's visual identity.

Season Pass 1 brings three more characters

Neferpitou is the first of four confirmed characters for Season Pass 1. The developers revealed that the next fighters will be Phinx, Shizuku, and Zeno, with staggered releases: winter 2025, spring 2026, and summer 2026. Although the names have already been disclosed, details about abilities and specific dates remain under wraps. The pass is included in the game's special editions or can be purchased separately.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact, released in July 2025, remains available for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The title, developed by Arc System Works in partnership with Bushiroad, brings together iconic characters from the series in dynamic combat based on the Nen system.
