New One Piece Odyssey screenshots show turn-based battles and new characters
Bandai Namco has updated the official Japanese website for One Piece Odyssey, showcasing a few new screenshots for the upcoming RPG.
The new images introduce the game's turn-based battle system, as well as a couple of new original characters. We've included the details below and new screenshots in the gallery.
Gameplay - Adventure & Battle
One Piece Odyssey is broadly separated into two components, Adventure and Battle.
'Adventure' consists of exploration of the island setting, where the Straw Hat Pirate's unique abilities - such as Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum-Gum Fruit) powers and Franky's machinery skills - can be used to traverse around various locations.
'Battle' consists of combat based on classic command-based systems while having the Straw Hats play an active role unique to One Piece. By selecting the attack range properly at the start of battle, you can maximize each character's unique abilities and aim for victory. Sometimes during battle, dramatic scenes can occur, which can lead to large bonuses. Additionally, when certain conditions are met, the Straw Hats can unleash Bond Arts to perform combination abilities.
New Characters
One Piece Odyssey is set to release in 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). In case you missed it, more details, footage, and screenshots can be found in March's announcement, or you can check out screenshots showing monsters & ruins from April 2022.
