One Piece: Burning Blood
Grab your straw hats and weigh anchor – we’re setting sail for a One Piece summer!
As you may already be aware, we will be releasing One Piece (Uncut) Collections 13 and 14 on DVD over the next few months, with Collection 13 out in October and 14 in November. In addition to this, our friends over at Bandai Namco are releasing their newest One Piece game in June, which is set to be a smash-hit!
A fighting game pitting Luffy & Co. against the likes of Edward Newgate, Bon Clay and Buggy, One Piece: Burning Blood is a great way to experience the original story from a whole new perspective.
“Set sail with the Straw Hat Crew and collect your bounty in the most epic anime fighter this side of the Grand Line! Use Devil Fruit abilities, Haki techniques, and punishing combos to turn the tide in the ultimate One Piece battle royale!”
Fraser: I’ve been waiting for a One Piece game like this for years, and from what I’ve played, One Piece: Burning Blood will not disappoint. Our session started off with a very simple tutorial that eased us into the game, followed by some much rougher Player vs. CPU. After a few rounds we felt confident enough to dive into the multiplayer… I have to admit Darcy nearly beat me. Although our time with the game was short, it was extremely fun. The game looked absolutely beautiful and even those of you who aren’t fans of One Piece will find lots to enjoy. I’ll be counting down the days until I can pick up Burning Blood for PS4 next month.
Grab Bandai’s One Piece: Burning Blood from next month on PS4, XBOX One, PSVita and PC, and our One Piece (Uncut) Collection 13 from July 25th – pre-order here.
