Bandai Namco has revealed that One Piece Unlimited World Red is available at retailers in the Americas for the PS3 and the Nintendo 3DS with the game being available digitally on the Wii U as well. The PS Vita version will be available physically on July 14 and digitally on July 15.

One Piece Unlimited World Red is an Action Adventure RPG developed by Ganbarion Co., Ltd. and follows the adventures set forth in the widely popular One Piece manga and anime universe.

The One Piece franchise has seen over 300 million manga volumes sold worldwide due to its action, compelling storylines, and charming characters that make its fans cheer, laugh, and cry. In the same vein, One Piece Unlimited World Red brings to both long-time fans and newcomers alike a fun-filled gaming experience featuring an exclusive storyline with original characters designed by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

The game’s Story Mode will take players through the Straw Hat Crew’s adventures on the Forgotten Island as they try to reunite with their kidnapped crew members, battle fearsome enemies, bosses, and come face to face with the Red Count; a frighteningly powerful pirate who escaped the lower depths of Impel Down, the infamous underwater maximum-security prison for the most dangerous criminals and pirates. When players simply want to pull out the punches, the Battle Coliseum Mode, which is inspired by the Dressrosa story arc from the One Piece manga and anime, introduces new and exciting gameplay content that lets players duke it out with their favorite characters, including Fujitora, Jimbei, Boa Hancock, and more.

For all the fans that are eager to get their hands on the game today, the exclusive Day One Edition features DLC items commemorating One Piece’s 15th anniversary in Japan with Anniversary Costumes for all of the Straw Hat Crew members and also includes Luffy’s Strong World Adventure Outfit and an extra quest “Flame Fist & Straw Hat” where the two brothers re-unite and fight side by side. Additionally, fans will also be able to download the “Red Stands Alone” quest DLC for free any time after launch.
