EvilGamerX’s comment (thanks for the tip!) about Namco Bandai’s next One Piece game prompted me to poke around for more information. The project’s temporary name is One Piece Unlimited Adventure 2, its final name is One Piece: Unlimited Cruise. Also Namco Bandai is going the .hack route with the pirate crew. There are two parts to One Piece: Unlimited Cruise. Episode one is scheduled to arrive in Japan in Summer ’08, episode two is slated for Winter ’08. Neither is confirmed for North America, we’re still waiting on One Piece: Unlimited Adventure to arrive in January ’08.
OK. Now we know more about One Piece: Unlimited Cruise, but now there is a new burning question. Why are there two episodes? Are we going to see original gameplay in each installment or did someone chop the game up?
No problem.
I am excited for two games honestly. I played the US version of the first game at NYAF and for what I played, I really enjoyed it. It didn’t feel like just another rushed fighter like about 90% of anime games today (Also, all characters are in the game (yay spoilers), no original voice acting sadly and some edits like cigars and Marine changed to Navy where written).
My best bet for news is going to say check VJump and WJ as new issues come out. Or heck, something may be said at Jump Festa ‘08 this weekend. All we know at the moment is that Brook appears to be in the game, it will be two episodes and when they will come out.
