Bandai Namco has recently revealed that the popular turn-based RPG, One Piece Odyssey, will be making its way to Nintendo Switch on July 26th, 2024. This news has sparked great excitement among fans of the Shōnen Jump manga series, as they eagerly anticipate the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew in a whole new gaming experience.
One Piece Odyssey originally made its debut on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in January 2023, captivating players with its unique storyline and gameplay mechanics.

Each member of the Straw Hat Pirates boasts unique abilities that can be utilized both in combat and exploration, adding depth and variety to the gameplay experience.
Upon its initial release, One Piece Odyssey received praise and accolades from critics and players alike. Our sister site, Push Square, awarded the game a commendable score of 8/10, describing it as “an utter joy of a JRPG”. With its engaging storyline, vibrant visuals, and dynamic gameplay mechanics, One Piece Odyssey has proven to be a standout title in the world of anime-based video games.
For fans of One Piece and RPG enthusiasts alike, the arrival of One Piece Odyssey on Nintendo Switch is a highly anticipated event. With new content, including the post-game scenario ‘Reunion of Memories’ and additional costumes for the Straw Hat Crew, players can look forward to a fresh and immersive gaming experience.
