Upcoming One Piece JRPG promises to have Classic Turn-Based Combat and featuring 2 New Characters

New screenshots from upcoming JRPG One Piece Odyssey have shown off the game's colourful turn-based combat and revealed two new characters.

Revealed on the game's Japanese website, and spotted by DualShockers, the combat has a UI reminiscent of the super-stylish Persona games and appears to feature a rock, paper, scissors system where fists beat guns, guns beat swords, and swords beat fists.

Two new characters have also been revealed for the game including Lim, a "mysterious girl who hates pirates" and Adio, a drifter and explorer.

It appears that the movement have new element put into the combat system eventhough it doesn't look to be a fully-fledged tactical RPG like a Fire Emblem game, for example. Instead, distance appears to affect what kind of attacks a player can do: get in close to swing your sword but stand back to fire a gun.

Team up abilities will also feature in One Piece Odyssey, letting players perform powerful combination attacks with other party members if certain conditions are met.

One Piece Odyssey was revealed in March and will be available for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, and PC, though the JRPG doesn't have a release date (or window) as of yet.

It's not the only One Piece project in the works as Netflix's live-action series has now officially begun production.
