Pre-Order Benefits
With the official One Piece Odyssey release date, the game is now accepting pre-orders via the official website. Pre-ordering the game will earn you a slew of bonuses. The most notable of which is the Traveling Outfit Set, which simply transforms the Straw Hat Crew into their original outfits.
There’s also a digital-only Deluxe Edition of the game, which includes some uncommon accessories, another outfit, and some extra content that will be released later. This game is also present on Steam so do check it out if you want to download it from there and play it as soon as it comes out!
Gameplay
The game is touted as a full-fledged RPG game, which means that each character will have a variety of abilities to unlock as the tale progresses. It is unclear whether it is possible to select a party of characters to utilize in battle or if this is chosen by the encounter.
One Piece Odyssey is a role-playing game with a turn-based system. Outside of combat, the player guides Monkey D. Luffy and The Straw Hat Pirates through open regions and dungeons. Every playable character has a distinct ability that corresponds to their power and is used for traversal, collecting goods, and solving puzzles.
The majority of the game will be spent exploring the island as Luffy. The trailer showed the captain sprinting and climbing across a beautiful map filled with dungeons to conquer and treasures to discover.
Platforms
The game, the latest to the One Piece Franchise, will be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. There are currently no Xbox One or Nintendo Switch versions listed. It is very unusual in the case of Xbox, given that it is coming to PS4.
