One Piece PS5 Makes Massive Improvements to Five Year Old Musou

by

It’s astonishing that One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, which was initially released about five years back, is now available on PlayStation 5!

However, Bandai Namco is heavily investing in the game’s re-release, planning to launch it concurrently with a Character Pass containing six fresh characters as well.

As a thrilled gamer, I’ve had the privilege of getting an early peek at this game, and it’s fascinating to see the contrast between the PS4 and PS5 versions. The developer assures us that we can expect significantly enhanced graphics and a larger army presence on our screens with the PS5 version.

As an ardent fan, I’m eagerly anticipating a potential free update for the game, although it hasn’t been officially confirmed for western regions yet. Interestingly, in Japan, the upgrade comes at a cost of ¥100 (approx. $0.68), and this is not due to a lack of generosity but rather legal restrictions on offering free upgrades, as well as other complex legal matters.

Hey there! Just wanted to drop a quick note if you’re considering grabbing the new Character Pass. So far, these are the characters that have been officially confirmed:

  • 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)

At present, there’s no officially announced release date for the PS5 update from Bandai Namco yet, but they assure us that it should come out before the end of the year. Are you planning to get it when it drops?
