One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Announced, Sails to PS4 in 2020

Now this is more like it, Bamco

Cool, I was just thinking about this series yesterday, funnily enough. It seems pretty obvious they dropped the ball badly with World Seeker so it looks like they're retreating to more familiar territory.

I played Pirates 3 and enjoyed it for the most part. So I’ll keep an eye out for this one.

I'm so far behind on One Piece. Of I start trying to catch up now, I might be up to speed by the time this comes out.

Aw, I just started the third one. It’ll probably have the whole story from the beginning anyway so probably not much point continuing.

@nessisonett To be fair, within the constraints of the genre, PW1-3 changed quite a bit from each one so it's still worth playing from the gameplay perspective. Also, when they made PW3, the manga was still in the Dressrosa arc and Gear 4th hadn't appeared yet, so they basically made up their own continuation and ending for that arc.

They do tend to cover the same events in a different way with each game, too. I guess as the story moves on, the earlier stuff gets abridged more and more. I wouldn't be surprised if PW4 starts post-timeskip, or at least very close to the timeskip. If they do cover earlier arcs, they'll probably skim over them a lot. I mean, will players really want to play through about 40 levels before they get to the newest Gear and newer playable characters?

@Enuo HA HA HA HA HA

no you won't

@nessisonett Keep playing its one of my favourite musuo games. Probably the best this gen.

(apart from the last trophy damn it!)

Love the third one, launch day to me.

@nessisonett play it, it's worth it

Can't wait to pick this up and Persona 5 Scramble. I usually don't like musous but Pirate Warriors is just really damn good.

As someone who doesn't get the chance to watch any anime really, are the games fully fleshed out enough to grab the story or do you need to know the programme? Just wondering as I enjoy musou games.
