One Piece World Seeker TGS Trailer Reveals New Character, Story Details

Gum-Gum Exposition!

Bandai Namco has released a new trailer prior to the Tokyo Game Show for the recently delayed One Piece: World Seeker, referred to as โ€œthe most ambitious One Piece game ever.โ€

World Seeker takes place on Jewel Island, where a war over the islandโ€™s resources was once waged, but now that the island has been rebuilt, its inhabitants are divided between those who are โ€œPro-Navy,โ€ accepting of the new regime in place and โ€œAnti-Navy,โ€ who prefer more the islandโ€™s more traditional ways. In the center of the island is an enormous prison called โ€“ you guessed it โ€“ Prison island.

The trailer introduces the Anti-Navy leader Jeanne, who forms a strong bond with Luffy over the course of the game as they take on Prison Islandโ€™s evil warden Isaac, both of whom are new characters designed by series creator Eiichiro Oda. The rest of the Straw Hats are present as well, though it remains to be seen how much theyโ€™ll be in the game itself.

Though mostly cinematic, the trailer does give us a brief glimpse of Luffy Gum-Gum swinging through an inner city like Spider-Man, and environmental design reminiscent of Gravity Rushโ€™s densely packed flying cities. One Piece: World Seeker launches sometime in 2019 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Let us know what you think of the new trailer in the comments and keep it docked at COGconnected for all the latest gaming news!
