For all the anime lovers out there, One Piece is a common name. The legendary series has found its place in the minds of every anime enthusiast out there, and for good reason. With the humongous amount of content One Piece, it is about time we see a new game released to commemorate the latest generations of consoles. Here’s what we know about the latest One Piece game:
One Piece: What is it?
Let’s take a look at One Piece. One Piece is a manga series that follows the story of Monkey D. Luffy, a boy who gains rubber properties after consuming a Devil Fruit, through his journey to be a pirate king. However, these words barely begin to describe the series.
Released in July 1997, One Piece holds over 1000 chapters, with over 90 volumes. The storyline is as vast as it is interesting and engaging. The series is one of the longest-running manga series yet. Often we find content stretched too thin, and shows that go on for too long lose their demand from avid readers. Not One Piece, however, as it dominates the sales charts of all mangas to have released yet, with over 480 million copies sold. One Piece also has an anime series, that has been ongoing since October 1999 till today.

New One Piece game
Now that we’ve read more about the legendary series, there’s no reason to wonder why fans all over the world demand a game. With the huge arsenal of content in their hands, the creators of One Piece can only go up. Conversely, the job is a huge task. To condense over 2 decades worth of content into a single game, or even a series of games is a huge deal.
Omega Force and Bandai Namco have been an integral part of developing and publishing the same. One Piece: Pirate Warriors is a game series that saw its latest installment in March 2020. The game received a generally positive score and was welcomed by the anime and gaming community alike. However, the game was announced in 2019 and was presumably under at least a year of development.
With no such official announcements yet, we can’t be sure about a new game in the works. A proposed project will probably follow the steps of its predecessors, being available across several platforms. This should include PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Switch, Mac & Windows. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
