Over a year after One Piece Odyssey was originally released worldwide, Switch users are finally getting an opportunity to visit Memoria and relive some of the series’ most iconic moments.
Bandai Namco announced that One Piece Odyssey will be released on July 26 as a Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch. The Deluxe Edition includes two outfit sets and the Reunion of Memorias DLC, which tasks the Strawhat crew with escaping Memoria one final time. Also, The additional content pack adds stronger enemies and new ways to play through the base game.
One Piece Odyssey came out of nowhere in the best way possible. Over the past few years, most One Piece games have used the traditional battle combat found in the Pirate Warriors series, where you take on huge hordes of enemies with a sprinkling of exposition from the anime and manga.
Bandai Namco went a different direction and used turn-based combat for Odyssey, and One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda supported the project by introducing new monsters, characters, and new original storyline that ties into the Strawhat journey we all know and love. Without giving too much away, the RPG challenges players with taking on a new sort of threat, while also going back in time to revisit memorable One Piece islands such as Water 7, Alabasta, Marineford, and more.
Taking out waves of Marines never gets old in the Pirate Warriors series, but One Piece fans are in for a treat if they haven’t experienced Odyssey yet. Bandai Namco did not reveal a price tag for the Deluxe Edition or any details on when players can start pre-ordering the title.
