The game will be presented very soon, namely on July 22, as part of a special event at Tokyo Tower. A special demo will allow up to 8 players to play together simultaneously. Hopefully the game will be exported to Europe in the coming months. This is not impossible, as One Piece has enjoyed phenomenal success around the world for many years.
