A demo for One Piece Odyssey is now live on the PS Store across the UK, Europe, and the USA, letting you play the first few hours of the JRPG. Weighing in at 7.75GB, it's a fairly small download and you can carry over your progress into the full game if you like what you play. The full title releases for PS5, PS4 on 13th January 2023.
Celebrating the franchise's 25th anniversary, the game is designed to be approachable for both hardcore fans and also newcomers. This playable teaser will offer potential new supporters a chance to sample the experience, which launches with turn-based battles and a gameplay loop reminiscent of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. We'll have a full PS5 review for you to read tomorrow.

I started playing just after midnight. I really liked it, though as I said in another comment, it stops you every minute or so with a cutscene or tutorial message but that'll stop after the intro part of the game. Nice attention to detail with the party banter. I like how there are points of interest all over the place that trigger conversations.
You get a special item if you import your save into the full game, by the way.
It made me order the full game, I had quite the fun with it
I’ll try this demo out once I finish AI: The Somnium Files Nirvana Initiative. It’ll be like upgrading from half piece to one piece… I’ll see myself out after that AI Somnium Files joke
I don't know what this is but it's one of the most hideous-looking games I've ever seen.
Already in on the full version, One Piece is the best shonen manga out there and love me a polished looking turn based RPG.
Can’t wait to dive into the demo after work though!
can't wait to play it tonight! need me some turn based JRPG goodness in the world I love that is One Piece.

I'll definitely give the demo a try.
Once I read that the game has turn based combat I instantly got interested.
What's With The Faces 😂😂
It’s wild how ILCA went from the devs of the worst received Pokémon remakes and one of worst received Pokémon games in general to making a seemingly great JRPG on a larger scale for their second big outing.
Bounce physics are so needed in this game XD
Might as well try the demo since it’s there. Couldn’t hurt to try.
Glad for the demo access. It sure looks like a great game for One Piece fans.
I've only had time to watch the first 18 episodes of the 1000+ episode anime. I assume I will be a little lost with the story. Or will spoil a future anime watch when I get back to it.
@johncalmc it's a pretty bad implementation and optimization. If you want 60fps you are playing at friggin 1080p.
Just ridiculous for a game with this level of visuals and low quality assets. I get its just another pop culture Asian cash in but it certainly isn't utilizing the PS5 well. It's essentially all the PS4 version, with ps5 getting either better resolution OR 60FPS and basically everything else identical.
Can't wait to play on Friday.
I tried the demo a bit. But when I got to the first save point, it said save not available on demo version. So how does progress carry over if you can't save?
Another demo I'll probably add to my library but never play. I just have to many old finished games in my backlog to make time for demos of unreleased games.
Will try out the demo, heard its fairly decent.

You have now my deepest respect.😉🤜🤛
So is there an English voice option?
Can't wait for the black Friday sales for this one
