One Piece is getting an RPG with a new story from series creator Eiichiro Oda
One Piece is getting a new video game. During a video presentation celebrating the 25th anniversary of One Piece, Bandai Namco announced that the celebrated manga / anime series will be getting a new RPG with an original story written by series creator Eiichiro Oda.
One Piece Odyssey is a new open-world game in which the Straw Hats have treasures to find a mysterious island to explore. The game is being developed by ILCA, a Japanese studio that recently worked on the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl remakes, as well as Dragon Quest XI and Nier Replicant. Though the announcement trailer didn’t show too much outside of cutscenes and exploration, we do know that there will be turn-based combat and that players will have the crew of the Thousand Sunny and a brand new character at their disposal.
In addition to a new game, One Piece is also getting a live-action adaptation courtesy of Netflix. Most of the cast has been announced, with Iñaki Godoy tapped to play Straw Hats leader Monkey D. Luffy.
