One Piece: World Seeker's got a new trailer in which producer Koji Nakajima talks us through the concept behind the game's open world focus. "There are many action-adventure games out there already," Nakajima begins. "But they come with certain restrictions, such as invisible walls, for example."
"One of the best parts of One Piece is the freedom it offers," he continues. "As a way of replicating this 'freedom', we built a game that allows the player to seamlessly and freely move throughout the entire map." Indeed, based on the footage that we've seen so far, main character Luffy comes equipped with a load of different traversal options.
"The main concepts behind this game are: having fun on a One Piece adventure, a story with a plotline straight out of One Piece, and enjoy interacting with the crew," Nakajima explains.
In truth we're not totally sold on World Seeker just yet, but it's nice to hear about some of the thought behind it. Hopefully the project comes together well by the time it launches later this year.

I found out about this game the other day when I was looking at what Ganbarion were up to. I don't know anything about the One Piece anime but i know Ganbarion made my favorite game on the Wii, Pandora's Tower. I am pleasantly surprised to see a few names that worked on Pandora's Tower are working on this as well. I will keep my eyes on this and hope it turns out great.
One of my favourite franchises, I'm really looking forward to this game. I just hope the game-world will be more colourful, vibrant and lively than what I've seen in the trailers and gameplay videos. Still, this is one of the biggest releases for me this year.
Looks cool
@Bonbonetti Same here, though hopefully no story spoilers for fans that only watch the FUNimation English Dub.
Not really a big anime fan. But this looks pretty good. I'll probably be checking this one out.
