One Piece: Pirate Warriors

One Piece Kaizoku Musou (ワンピース海賊無双) is the third Warriors collaboration project, following in the footsteps of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam and Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. The title is being made with the hopes of creating the "ultimate game", as developers claim that it personifies the "comrades" (仲間, nakama) and Warriors themes in a grand adventure. Hisashi Koinuma stated that the collaboration began when he was specifically approached by Shin Unozawa (Vice President of D3 Publisher) for a One Piece title.

According to Unozawa, the game was just going to be called One Piece Musou. The current title of the game took shape when comic creator, Eiichiro Oda, changed it himself.

So far the alpha gameplay footage features the extreme flexibility and attacks expected to be seen from One Piece. The world, character actions, facial expressions and other visual cues are being recreated as faithfully as possible. Essentially players can use their character's trademark attacks to thrash several marines or other opponents in typical Warriors fashion.

Kouji Nakajima (Bandai-Namco producer) remarked that each character model is being remodeled from scratch for this system. Nakajima has said the game is being targeted to fans who have watched the One Piece anime, but he expects the game will appeal to a wider audience.
