One Piece Odyssey Gets New Gameplay Trailer at Summer Game Fest

gamerant.com:

One Piece is one of the longest running manga and anime series today and it has a fanbase as vast as its ocean. After running for so many years it is only now preparing for its final arc, much to the amazement of its many fans.

For all of this, there have been relatively few big forays into the video game medium for One Piece, despite lending itself to many options for different game genres. The new title One Piece Odyssey may well fulfill the dreams of fans hoping to take control of the Thousand Sunny, and its newest trailer gives a bigger glimpse of what players are in for.

One Piece Odyssey Confirmed for Summer Game Fest

The trailer starts off establishing how the characters get into the game's setting: a mysterious island somewhere on the Grand Line. This is not at all out of place for the crew of the Thousand Sunny, although how they get onto the island is a little unusual. After that, it goes into some gameplay, mostly showing off some of the new characters players will meet and the look of the island as players explore. Enemies seem to mostly be inorganic golems, and the game gives off some Persona vibes, which few will complain about. It also looks a little bit like the Dragon Quest series, and One Piece mixed with Dragon Quest sounds like it could be a match made in heaven. Hopefully that's exactly what the game turns out to be.
