“2017 marks the 20th anniversary of ONE PIECE, one of the world’s most popular manga and anime series which has riveted millions of fans since it started," Randy Le, brand manager at Bandai Namco Entertainment America, says. "We’re proud to help usher in a new era with ONE PIECE: World Seeker, an ambitious new entry in the legendary series.”
World Seeker is set for release in 2018 with more information available on Bandai Namco Entertainment's official site.
Our Take
Following the lukewarm reception to One Piece: Burning Blood, it's good to see Bandai Namco return to the gameplay style of its 2012 offering One Piece: Unlimited World Red. Though the game wasn't perfect, it did feel more in line with the tone of the series, and a new title refining Unlimited World Red's potential could make for the series' best foray into video games to date.
