Hunter x Hunter Squashes Rumors of the Anime's Return It has been quite some time since Hunter x Hunter graced fans with an update, and it seems the fandom will be waiting longer yet. The manga is currently on its longest hiatus to date, and there are no anime projects in the work. At least, that is what fans believed until a little rumor convinced some otherwise. Fandom chatter about the anime being rebooted picked up heavily at the start of 2021, but it turns out Hunter x Hunter has no such plans in mind. Instead, its cast is coming together for a very different project, and it will allow some lucky fans to experience Hunter x Hunter through a virtual lens.
