The business is temporary and does not concentrate on flashy gameplay. As an alternative, it is principally live-action and it performs the emotional card. The sport consists of sections by which gamers will revisit memorable arcs of the anime and manga, together with Alabasta and Water Seven. Contemplating that these have been among the many most emotional components of the story, it is not shocking that the trailer guarantees that the sport will pull at your heartstrings.
We see the standard Japanese salaryman, who we will say is unquestionably among the many target market of the sport, as he picks up his copy of the sport. As he lastly relaxes to play, assembly Alabasta’s princess Vivi as soon as once more brings a tear to his eye. I would not be stunned to see followers of the unique story react the identical manner once they’ll play the sport, and a few of the trailers we have already seen have been already fairly stirring (and I am not even an enormous One Piece fan).
The returning areas and characters seem like summoned by the powers of the brand new character Lim. They will not be full-fledged recreations of the unique story, as our heroes will face the chances older and with extra expertise beneath their belts. To see how deeply this can change issues, we’ll need to play the sport, nevertheless it’s definitely an fascinating narrative system for a title primarily based on a well-liked IP with a lot historical past.
One Piece Odyssey is nearly right here and it’ll launch for PS5, PS4, Xbox Sequence X|S, Xbox One, and PC on January 13, 2023. if you would like to study extra, you will additionally be capable to play a demo launching on January 10.
