The announcement of the indefinite leave of "Hunter x Hunter" was made by the 31st issue of Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", a weekly shonen manga anthology published in Japan under the "Jump" line of magazines.
It was announced on this year's fourth of July, a Monday, that Yoshihiro Togashi's "Hunter x Hunter" manga is on an indefinite hiatus. As previously reported by Anime News Network, "Hunter x Hunter" has resumed in April 2016 after a two-year hiatus since the combined 27th and 28th issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in August 2014.
Yoshihiro Togashi, the author of "Hunter x Hunter" has been enduring serious back pain. Hence, the supposed two-week hiatus extended up to two years. After a couple of months since its resume in April, another hiatus was announced yet again. The readers could really feel how hard it is that they are left hanging because the current arc of "Hunter x Hunter" was not finished yet.
Amidst its hiatus, a treat awaits the fans of "Hunter x Hunter." As reported by iTech post, Yoshihiro Togashi's creation will have its new smartphone game. The good news was announced last September 17, Saturday.
The new "Hunter x Hunter" smartphone game seems to be promising. The team of the makers of game is being headed by Bandai Namco. Bandai Namco is also the maker of the blockbusters "Dark Souls," "Dragonball Xenoverse," and "Tekken."
The makers of the new smartphone game called it the "Hunter x Hunter: World Hunt." It is rumoured that "Hunter x Hunter: World Hunt" will be free of charge and would be available for download in Apple Store and Google Play Store. Still, like other gaming applications, there are in-game items that players can buy.
As a teaser, here are some details of the "Hunter x Hunter: World Hunt." It will require players to choose an avatar. More so, the game will feature guilds of up to 13 characters.
There is no date as for the release of the "Hunter x Hunter: World Hunt" game yet. While teasers are still waiting for the resume of the manga, they can play the "Hunter x Hunter: The World Hunt" should it be released first. And hopefully, this will give the fans the same experience.
