There will obviously be the online component, thanks to which we can challenge many opponents in order to increase our reputation and aim for the top of the rankings.

Its Japanese launch is scheduled for September 21

Check out some gameplay footage:

“Pushing the Finisher button at the end of a combo will launch a Super Finisher move. When the Finisher Gauge is maxed out, it will become Rio Gigant Combo.

One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum also features “Let’s Make a Pirate Band” mode. The objective is to make the strongest pirate band. The more you take on challenges, the more you become stronger. Growth will be different based on the short story.

It’s up to the player to compose their own strongest pirate band. It can be played multiple times to further strengthen characters.”
