Previous DLC characters for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 include Charlotte Katakuri, Vinsmoke Judge, X Drake, and O-Kiku. The thing about these character packs is that they came out during 2020, around when the game initially launched. So the upcoming DLC characters will be the first ones after about three years of inactivity from Bandai Namco for this intellectual property. Previous DLC characters came out in themed packs. For example, Vinsmoke Judge was part of the Whole Cake Island Pack, which featured characters from the eponymous Whole Cake Island Arc.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 came out in 2020 as the sequel to One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3. Like several other Omega Force games, it is a musou-like action game. It takes place after the Wano Arc from One Piece and features an original story. It has a roster of over 50 characters, including DLC ones. In 2022, Bandai Namco announced that it shipped over 2 million units of the game since launch.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is readily available for the PS4, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
