ONE PIECE Unlimited World Red is an action-adventure RPG game developed by Ganbarion Co., Ltd., based on the widely popular and praised ONE PIECE manga created by the renowned mangaka Eiichiiro Oda.

The New World and its fierce challenges await Luffy and his nakama. In ONE PIECE Unlimited World Red, players will live the complete Pirate adventure thanks to fun-filled escapades, action-packed battles and powerful allies in a whole new never-before-seen scenario. Who is this mysterious character speaking with Luffy and what are his plans?

ONE PIECE fans will be playing as all of their favourite Straw Hat crew members and progress through the storyline where they will be challenged by famous boss battles such as Crocodile, Rob Lucci, Caesar Clown and many others! Mastering many skills will be mandatory in order to execute numerous flashy combos, to dodge or interact with enemies etc.! Just like in the original manga, when things get bad, players will be able to get some help from a friend in an exciting co-op* gameplay to beat down strong opponents, or simply to enjoy mini-games such as fishing, bug-catching and so on!

Multiplayer is : 4 player (local only) for 3DS/Vita; 2 players (split-screen) for Wii U/PS3.

Here's a trailer : YouTube

Release date : 2014 for Europe, 2014 for NA too (but only digital for Vita/Wii U).

Vita? Damn. Day One Import then.

 

[Brazil]

... What? Since when this is multiplatform?

 

[Takao]

they won't release PW2 Vita in the west, but they'll port over the 3DS game? WAT

 

[PhoenixDawn]

... What? Since when this is multiplatform?

No idea, I had thought it was announced and planned only for 3DS. Surprised to see it announced for more, especially Wii U, although I guess the more platforms it's on the better... (for licensed games like this at least)

 

[Fandangox]

Yeah wasn't this PS3 only?

 

[Brazil]

It was released in Japan as a 3DS exclusive.

Still, nice to see it's coming. I was looking forward to this.

Yeah wasn't this PS3 only?

No.

 

[Refyref]

I'm interested in this one.

Yeah wasn't this PS3 only?

3DS only. I guess they thought multiplatform would work better in the west.

 

[Zenaku]

Yeah wasn't this PS3 only?

3DS only, with no 3D to boot. (Only played the demo)

 

[ZeroAKA]

...Vita? Not like this, Namco.

[zenosparadox]

Are the chances of a NA release low? Might have to import for Vita or PS3.

 

[Kid Ying]

... What? Since when this is multiplatform?

Yeah. Weird situation. The game was exclusive in Japan for the 3DS. To see it being ported in places where the franchise isnt as strong is strange. Maybe Banco is planning to make another release on Japan of this game for every platform and will use those skus as an excuse, in the veins of Bravely Default.

 

[cardinalmind]

There is a port of this game for the Vita? Isn't this a 3DS only game?

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Wait, Vita and PS3? For real?! OMG

 

[Brazil]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. One Piece Unlimited World Red: For the Sequel or whatever.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Wait what the console choices?!?

Edit: Screw it WHooooooooop

I see, I confuse it with one of the One Piece Musous.

 

[Magwik]

I did my job and bought Romance Dawn. 2 One Piece games in NA in the same year would be a godsend

 

[Man God]

PS3 and Wii U versions have inferior multiplayer.

 

[Immaculate]

guess it didn't meet expectations in japan so they're trying to recoup losses

 

[Silky]

I'm more surprised that it's Wii-U

 

[SatoAilDarko]

The first game Unlimited Adventure was a Wii exclusive (also the only game with the Funimation cast). It was followed by Unlimited Cruise parts 1 and 2 for Wii which was ported to 3DS. So there is some logic to release on Wii U. I know I'll be there Day 1 on Wii U.

 

[Brazil]

By spending more money in it to sell the game in markets that aren't that receptive of One Piece?

Yeah, no. That's some fine example of terrible analysis.

 

[Shinriji]

Please be released in the US.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Ganbarion?

I guess this must be a follow up to Unlimited Adventure and Unlimited Cruise.

I mean considering the developer and the similar subtitle involved.

 

[Gintoki313]

Vita and PS3? I wouldn't even know which one I would want to get this for. I would love to have this on a handheld, but can't deny that I'd like to play it at home on the big screen.

Kinda reeks that it's not coming to US (or hasn't been announced yet at least), I don't know what it is about the Unlimited games and the US.

 

[Vegivo]

Yay moar one piece on ps3

 

[Tenki]

When I saw the email I thought it was a typo, but the trailer confirms it.

 

[hohoXD123]

One Piece on my Vita?! I need this.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

OMG YES.

And wow, announced for PS3 and Wii U too. Much rather play action-adventures on consoles so that's where I'm buying it.

 

[wrowa]

This is the weirdest thing. I can understand why they would port it to PS3, but Vita and Wii U are just weird choices.

 

[Chindogg]

Got hype.

Then I saw Europe.

Now I'm sad.

Spoiler

Goes back to playing SMT4.

 

[ShogunDarius]

wasnt this trademarked at the same time as the eerily similar J Stars Victory VS lke trademark




ahh he it is

[Immaculate]

Yeah, no. That's some fine example of terrible analysis.

i thought one piece was pretty big in europe?

it will probably get the same rerelease treatment in japan too

 

[Hero of Legend]

This is way out of the left field. Wii U makes sense since Ganbarion did Wii Fit U, so I knew they had to be doing something other than that. PS3 and Vita is really bizarre, especially since Ganbarion hasn't done a Sony game since prior to Unlimited Adventure right? Wonder if the non-3DS versions are outsourced maybe?

 

[Takao]

...Vita? Not like this, Namco.

It's really weird since they skipped the PSP version of Romance Dawn (could've just dumped that on PSN), and the Vita version of Pirate Warriors 2.

 

[OmegaDL50]

This is the weirdest thing. I can understand why they would port it to PS3, but Vita and Wii U are just weird choices.

Both Unlimited Adventure and Unlimited Cruise were Wii releases. Why is it weird that Unlimited World gets a Wii U release.

 

[Dead Prince]

bless the ps3/vita for being region free unless Namco cockblocks those 2 from being imported.

 

[Refyref]

This is the weirdest thing. I can understand why they would port it to PS3, but Vita and Wii U are just weird choices.

Probably cheap and easy ports.

Wonder if the non-3DS versions are outsourced maybe?

This is how it usually goes, so it's likely.

 

[m0t0k1]

I own all consoles hmm for which one to buy? but i am gravitating towards my wii u.

 

[Ryuukan]

Every other anime game Namco has released in Europe has come over to NA for a while, just wait for Dark Souls 2 to blow over for an announcement

 

[chicagocubsfan]

http://www.saiyanisland.com/2013/10/could-j-stars-victory-one-piece-red-be-heading-to-europe/

Oh man. Please come west, J-Stars.

 

[MaximumSpider]

VITA!?
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

 

[Jucksalbe]

Ohh, something new for Wii U? I'm interested, can't wait to catch bugs!

 

[Wynnebeck]

Unlimited World Red to the EU and not US. FFFFFFFFF-

 

[sörine]

Are the chances of a NA release low? Might have to import for Vita or PS3.

I think chances of an American release are pretty good. It might be digital only on some platforms though, or skip some platforms entirely here.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Really liking the boxart. From here.

 

[ReRixo]

By spending more money in it to sell the game in markets that aren't that receptive of One Piece?

Yeah, no. That's some fine example of terrible analysis.

your analysis is even worse

lots of european countries have big followings of one piece, more so than NA

 

[Hero of Legend]

Probably cheap and easy ports.



This is how it usually goes, so it's likely.

Potential candidates? I love this game! Tri-crescendo? They did ToS HD. Hexadrive? Did they work with BN before?
