It is time to set sail again, pirates. The Straw Hat crew is ready to make their grand return with One Piece Pirate Warriors 4, now upgraded for the new era of consoles. Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially announced that the fan favorite hack and slash action game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 21, 2025.
Originally launched in 2020, Pirate Warriors 4 brought chaos, humor, and massive battles straight from the world of One Piece into players’ hands. Inspired by the Dynasty Warriors style of gameplay, the title lets you control legendary characters like Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and more as you unleash wave after wave of powerful attacks against thousands of enemies.
Now, with the next gen version, the storm grows even bigger. Expect enhanced visuals, smoother combat, and more enemies on screen than ever before, all powered by an improved game engine. The newly released trailer shows off just how polished the upgrade looks, with vibrant colors, dynamic lighting, and cinematic fight sequences that capture the true madness of the Grand Line.
🏝️ The Future Island Egghead Pack Arrives
That same day, Bandai Namco is also dropping something fresh for fans hungry for more content. The Future Island Egghead Pack arrives on November 21, introducing three new playable characters from the futuristic Egghead Island storyline. Each character comes with their own moves, flair, and personality straight from the manga’s newest arc.
Meet the new challengers:
- S Snake: Elegant and dangerous, she mirrors Boa Hancock’s charm with a deadly twist.
- Jewelry Bonney: The pirate who can toy with time itself and always keeps her rivals guessing.
- CP0 Rob Lucci: Cooler, faster, and more ruthless than ever before.
Bandai Namco also teased Character Pack 8, arriving in early 2026. The pack’s lineup was decided by fans through a global survey, and the winners are nothing short of iconic. Players will soon be able to command Eneru, the thunderous god of Skypiea, King the Conflagration, Kaido’s fierce right hand, and Z, the unforgettable villain from One Piece Film Z.
🗺️ Revisit Legendary Arcs From East Blue to Wano
One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is not just about fighting; it is a full scale journey through the Grand Line. The story mode adapts major arcs from East Blue all the way to Wano Country, letting players relive the most memorable chapters of Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece.
The game includes iconic battles from Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Marineford, Dressrosa, and Whole Cake Island. Since the Wano arc was incomplete when the game first launched, this version includes a unique story exclusive to Pirate Warriors 4, giving fans an original take on one of the most awaited sagas.
As of now, the roster features 43 characters, including fan favorites like Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Boa Hancock, and Shanks. The last major DLC update in 2024 even added legends like Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, and Monkey D. Garp.
