Update [Tue 12th Aug 2025, 2:45pm]:

The Character Pass for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, which has been released five years following the initial game, can now be pre-ordered. However, some fans are expressing dissatisfaction over its price of £24.99 or $29.99.

Or you could say:

To put it simply, the material introduces six unique characters along with their wardrobes, according to the information provided in this press release:

[Press Release Text]

  • Character Pack 7: To be released around Q4 2025
    • Lucci -CP0- + Costume
    • New Playable Character + Costume
    • New Playable Character + Costume
  • Character Pack 8: Special Selection: To be released around Q1 2026
    • Eneru
    • King
    • Z
  • Shanks Additional Special Move ‘Divine Departure’ (Character Pass 3 Bonus)

However, the cost matches that of earlier Character Passes for the game, each offering a grand total of nine playable characters.

Some people are optimistic that Bandai Namco might still have additional content in store, while others feel disappointed and suspect they’ve been charged for a game lacking fresh multiplayer maps or single-player content since its release.

Where do you stand on this?

The anticipated update on additional content for the 2020 game One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 has been outlined, yet details about the earlier mentioned PlayStation 5 version remain unclear.

In simple terms, with the third character pass, we’re introducing six new playable characters to an existing diverse group, distributing them over two separate packs in the upcoming release.

The lineup is as follows:

DLC Pack #7 (Fall 2025)

  • Rob Lucci
  • To Be Announced #1
  • To Be Announced #2
  • 3x Additional Character Costumes

DLC Pack #8 (Early 2026)

  • Enel
  • King
  • Z

Purchasing Character Pass 3 grants access to the Kamusari technique for the character Shanks, which is available across several of his alternate appearances.

The content will be released in two stages: DLC Pack #7 is expected to come out by the end of this year, and DLC Pack #8 should arrive in the early part of next year.

Starting August 11th, you can buy the pack, however, details about the release date for the previously teased PS5 version have yet to be shared.

Anticipating future events, it seems likely that the new generation variant will be released together with the first DLC expansion around this year. We’ll reach out to the publisher, Bandai Namco, for any additional details they might have to share.

Additionally, during One Piece Day, it was officially confirmed that a popular light novel series titled “One Piece Heroines,” featuring tales inspired by the franchise’s female characters, would receive its own anime adaption.
