Usuallyย when anime video game ports come to mind most of them end up being fighting games sprinkled in with cutscenes surrounding similar – or the exact same – storylines from the show, like Dragon Ball Z or Naruto.ย ย One Piece: World Seeker looks to be anythingย but that.
The first ever teaser trailer for the game was released yesterday atย the Japanese festival Jump Festa. At the event, the franchise held a panel dedicated to its video games, including the upcoming One Piece title. Moetron managed to snip the livestream’s clip of the trailer.
In the teaser everyone’s favorite elastic pirateย Monkey D. Luffy can be seen roaming about the world, stretching to the tops of trees to navigate it faster, as well as fighting enemies with well-known attacks from the show.
