Today’s lays out the story of the new adventure. The Straw Hat crew heads to new shores, where they encounter a mysterious new character and get tangled up in a little more than they might have bargained for. This new adventure will touch on “classic memories” of the Straw Hat Pirates as well.

A pirate RPG

While the look of One Piece Odyssey definitely seems like it’s locked in, the other appealing factor is that this is an RPG. Rather than more action-oriented games that have rolled out for other manga adaptations, One Piece Odyssey is a role-playing game.

Hopefully we’ll get to see more of the battle system ahead of launch, as we’ve only seen a few snippets up to this point. But the UI style, as well as the general look of𓆉 the gam🌜e, all seem really great.

Plus, for the heavy One Piece fans out there, Odyssey is getting a tie-in statue that looks rad.
