One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2's 4-Minute Promo Streamed

Bandai Namco Games began streaming a second full promotional video for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 on Wednesday. The four-minute video previews the fighting techniques of the nine main playable pirate characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Tony Tony Chopper, Sanji, Nami, Brook, Nico Robin, Franky, Usopp, and Roronoa Zoro.

The sequel will be set in the New World arc of Eiichiro Oda's manga and Toei's anime adaptation with powered-up characters and action. It will also introduce a new original mode, new characters, and new stages.

Namco Bandai Games will release the game in Japan on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita systems on March 20, while its European and American branches will release the title for PlayStation 3 this summer.

In Japan, the first copies of the game will include a download code for the battle uniform that Luffy wore in last year's One Piece Film Z, as well as the serial code for obtaining a limited in-game figure in Mobage's One Piece Grand Collection phone game. A limited Treasure Box edition will contain the game itself, an original skin sticker for the PlayStation 3 console, a pin badge display booklet to hold the pins that were bundled with the first game, a second set of 15 collection pin badges, and an original soundtrack CD.
