IRVINE, Calif (May 25, 2023) – Leading video game publisher and developer Bandai Namco Entertainment America, Inc. today launched Reunion of Memories, bringing new characters and new adventures to ONE PIECE ODYSSEY, one of the best games based on the iconic anime franchise. The new DLC, which will be available after the main game has been cleared, is now available for purchase and is also included in the game’s Season Pass. ONE PIECE ODYSSEY and the Reunion of Memories DLC are available on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via STEAM®.

In Reunion of Memories, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are trapped once again in Memoria, the world made from their memories. As players embark on this new journey, they will encounter familiar figures rooted in the series’ canon such as Mihawk, Perona, Eneru, and Whitebeard. In true ONE PIECE fashion, these characters will play their part in either helping or hindering the Straw Hat Pirates in their quest, this time to escape Memoria once and for all.
Reunion of Memories also introduces exciting new gameplay systems that dramatically alter the ONE PIECE ODYSSEY experience. These include Limited Order battles where encounters with stronger enemies and dangerous situations present the player with conditions that demand a more strategic approach. Another new addition is Captain’s Selections, where players can choose from the branching storyline and change the way they experience the game, making for a deeper level of immersion.
ONE PIECE ODYSSEY retains the charm, humor, and chemistry of the anime with its colorful artistic style and stunning visuals, and by starring the series’ original Japanese VO actors. The game has been lovingly crafted over many years, produced with direct involvement from series creator Eiichiro Oda, features a story rooted in canon, and is complemented by a soaring soundtrack scored by composer Motoi Sakuraba, known for his musical contributions to video games such as the DARK SOULS™ and TALES OF series.
Produced by Toei Animation and based on the top-selling manga title of all time by creator Eiichiro Oda, the ONE PIECE series first premiered on Japanese TV in October 1999 and follows Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates on their epic quest to find “One Piece,” the legendary treasure of the former King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger. Today, ONE PIECE is now a global franchise that encompasses 15 feature films including “One Piece Film Red” for the United States and Canada, home videos, video games, and an ever-growing catalog of licensed merchandise that includes accessories, toys, games, novelties, furniture, housewares, apparel and more.
