One Piece: Pirate Warriors

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

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. The game was just going to be called One Piece Musou but the comic creator, Eiichiro Oda, changed it himself to the current title. This game is in honor of One Piece's 15th anniversary, starting back in 1997.
