One Piece: Pirate Warriors

One Piece: Kaizoku Musou (ワンピース海賊無双) is a One Piece related video game released in Japan on March 1, 2012 for the Sony PlayStation 3 with Namco Bandai and Tecmo Koei teaming up to create it and Omega Force, a subsidiary of Tecmo Koei, developing it. The game takes place from the East Blue Saga until the New World Saga.

The title is 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. This game is in honor of One Piece's 15th anniversary, starting back in 1997.

While there was no announcement for the game's release outside of Japan, the name "One Piece: Pirate Warriors" had been copyrighted in America and Europe on 2/1/2012. Namco Bandai confirmed that the game will be heading overseas via their conference they had on 4/11/2012. It's set to release November 2012. The game will be released on a disc in Europe but will be released exclusively digital in North America. This is the first One Piece game to be released in North America without an English dub. It will have Japanese audio with English text.
