The new story was written by One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda and will feature multiple playable characters including Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Frankie, and Brook.
The official description of One Piece Odyssey reads as follows:
“During their journey, the Straw Hats, led by Monkey D. Luffy, are swallowed by a huge storm at sea. They end up on a mysterious island full of nature in the middle of the storm and get separated from each other .
“The crew embarks on an adventurous new journey filled with the wonders of a raging nature, powerful enemies, and strange encounters with the islanders.”
