Nine Additional Characters Coming to One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, Over Three Years After Launch | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

As teased earlier in the week, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is getting an unexpected second Character Pass – despite the game originally releasing over three years ago! The DLC drop will consist of three packs in total, adding an impressive nine new characters to the game.

It’ll all get underway in September with The Battle of Onigashima Pack, which will include Onigashima Battle Luffy and two other unannounced characters. A further two packs will subsequently deploy, each with three characters apiece. And if that’s not enough, anyone who purchases the new Character Pass will get the Onigashima Battle costume for Trafalgar D. Water Law.

It’s unusual for a game to get so much post-release content this far removed from release, but publisher Bandai Namco must be seeing continued engagement with the game, thus justifying the ongoing support.

A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.

Is it just characters? No new stages or music? Not a big fan of 4, so I was hoping they were working on 5 already and maybe going back to 3's gameplay or at the very least massively improving and refining 4's gameplay

Gear 5 Luffy is no surprise, but it's nice to see Uta in the lineup. (Can't quite tell who the other one is yet.) Yamato is definitely going to be included here, aside from that, I'm not making any predictions.

Many live service games would be jealous of how long after launch this game is getting content.

@Enuo where do you see uta?

Between a trailer on the One Piece YouTube channel for a episode of the anime airing on 8.6 and now this I’m getting the idea Gear 5 is gonna be the UI Goku of One Piece. Like if
