One Piece is an incredibly popular Japanese manga series that is written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It was eventually adapted into a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation that premiered on Fuji TV in October 1999. While the series has had a few games created around it, One Piece Odyssey looks like it could be the one that everyone has been waiting for! The game is scheduled for release in 2022 and will be available for PS5 & PS4, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
If you’re unfamiliar with the manga or anime series, here’s a quick synopsis:
Monkey D. Luffy is a rubbery young man who, inspired by his boyhood hero, the mighty pirate “Red Haired” Shanks, embarks on a quest from the East Blue Sea to collect the legendary treasure known as the One Piece and proclaim himself King of the Pirates. Luffy rescues and befriends a pirate hunter and swordsman named Roronoa Zoro in order to assemble his own crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, and they set off in pursuit of the titular treasure. Nami, a money-obsessed robber and navigator; Usopp, a sharpshooter and compulsive liar; and Sanji, a perverse yet chivalrous cook, accompany them on their adventure.
They get a ship, the Going Merry, and engage in battles with the East Blue pirates. Later in the series, new characters join Luffy and his crew, including Tony Tony Chopper, an anthropomorphized reindeer doctor; Nico Robin, an archaeologist and former Baroque Works assassin; Franky, a cyborg shipwright; Brook, a skeleton musician and swordsman; and Jimbei, a fish-man helmsman and former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The Straw Hat Pirates obtain a new ship, the Thousand Sunny, when the Going Merry is wrecked beyond repair. As they travel the seas in search of their aspirations, they encounter other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal groups, revolutionaries, secret agents, and troops of the corrupt World Government, as well as a variety of other allies and opponents.
