One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Bleach were at one point known as “the big four” in anime and manga circles. They earned this reputation not only due to their immense popularity, but also their influence and ability to run for years, even decades. One Piece has just celebrated its 25th anniversary and is far and away the most successful anime and manga series in existence.
One Piece Odyssey will be the newest entry in the One Piece universe, as revealed in May and given a world premiere at Summer Game Fest 2022. This game looks to be the most faithful game to the series yet, with series creator Eiichiro Oda playing a major part in the game’s direction.
Here are 17 minutes of its gameplay shown yesterday:
What is really cool is that all the original VO actors participate in this game:
One Piece Odyssey is a JRPG with the use of a turn-based combat system.
The new project includes brand new characters designed by series creator Eichiro Oda and tells a brand new original story. In an interview translated by Gematsu, the game’s producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki said “I have been thinking that one of the most fascinating points about One Piece is the ‘adventure,’ so I thought that a ‘JRPG project offering a One Piece adventure experience like never before’ would be very interesting. So with the question of, ‘What should a One Piece adventure offer?’ and the concept of an ‘epic adventure to experience the One Piece world’ in mind, we collaborated with a development team that held the know-how for creating a full-blown RPG. The fruit of this long-term collaboration is One Piece Odyssey.”
One Piece Odyssey is set to release sometime in 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It is published by Bandai Namco, but the main development is being handled by a studio named ILCA. The studio has previously assisted in the development of games like Dragon Quest XI and Code Vein, although most recently it’s best known as the main developer of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
