"Hunter X Hunter" Creator Yoshihiro Togashi is headed towards developing a new smartphone game. Bandai Namco is rumored to create the free to play mobile game dubbed as "Hunter X Hunter: World Hunt".

News of "Hunter X Hunter" getting a new smartphone game started from the 42nd issue of Jump magazine, Anime News Network reported. Shueisha's Weekly Shonen made the announcement last Saturday. "Hunter X Hunter" is a famous manga series that started in Japan and became famous all over the world. The series has been serialized in the Weekly Shonen since March 1998. "Hunter X Hunter" has since been made into an anime and took on different OVAs.

Bandai Namco, the maker of smash hits "Dark Souls", "Dragon ball Xenoverse" and "Hunter X Hunter: Battle All Stars" is reportedly making the new smartphone game which will be called "Hunter X Hunter: World Hunt." Reports say that the mobile game will be free to play and will be published in Google Play Store as well as the Apple store. However, it is expected that the game would have in-game item purchases that gamers would have the choice to buy or not.

The "Hunter X Hunter: World Hunt" teaser has been published on Bandai Namco's website showing fans how the game would look like. The mobile game is expected to have guilds of up to 13 characters fighting simultaneously in real time. Smartphone players may choose their own avatar. There will also be a two-choice quiz and a water divination test for finding out the base Nen power.

Meanwhile, rumor has it that the original creator of "Hunter X Hunter" was dropped for new writer. Viz Media allegedly let go of Togashi so that he can focus on his recovery from a recurring back problem. Togashi remains to be a consultant for the game.

"Hunter X Hunter" is also rumored to end with the release of chapter 360. The popular series is said to have lost its shine among gamers as its ratings have decreased, Parent Herald reported. However, the new writers are expected to revive the series and bring something fresh to the game. New "Hunter x Hunter" Mobile Game Announced & New Sniper Meruem Summon Banner | HxH Battle Allstars
