one piece burning blood eu release date.jpg

Summer's about to get a whole lot hotter in the Western world, as Bandai Namco has announced that One Piece: Burning Blood is launching on the 3rd June here in Europe. The PlayStation 4 and Vita brawler is also expected to release in June in North America, although a specific date hasn't been confirmed just yet.

Those who pre-order the game in Europe will nab the pre-order edition, which includes a metal case along with three bonus playable characters. There's a twist here, however, in that all three of these additional fighters are actually just different incarnations of One Piece protagonist Luffy: there's Champion Luffy, Kung Fu Luffy, and Luffy Gear 4th. The latter allows you to play as Luffy in his most powerful form for as long as you like.

Will you be burning up this summer? Shield yourself from the flames of hype in the comments section below.
