A free playable demo for Bandai Namco's RPG One Piece Odyssey is now live on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, giving fans a chance to go hands on with the first section of the game a few days before launch.
The full version of One Piece Odyssey releases Friday, January 13th. If you're curious about giving the demo a whirl ahead of time, here's what to expect from this slice of the game, straight from the team:
"The famed pirate, Monkey.D.Luffy, better known as Straw Hat Luffy, and his Straw Hat Crew, are sailing across the New World in search of the next island and the next adventure that awaits them. But during their voyage they are caught in a storm and shipwrecked. They find themselves washed up on a lush tropical island surrounded by constantly raging storms..."
"This product is a free demo version of ONE PIECE ODYSSEY that allows the Player to play the first part of the main game. The story progress of the demo version can be transferred to the full version."
As mentioned, progress from the demo version of One Piece Odyssey carries over to the full game, which was previously confirmed by Bandai Namco following a recent gameplay deep-dive featuring more than 11-minutes of Odyssey footage!
Will you be trying out this free demo? Let us know if you plan on giving it a whirl!

Downloading at home now. Going to really sink my teeth into the demo after work, looking forward to it and the full game this Friday!
Never heard of this or the anime? Is it story driven or just nonsense? I loved Lost Odyssey.
@Kezelpaso Might want to change the subtitle, "classic RPG" makes it sounds like this is a remake or remaster of an old game instead of a new game. "Traditional RPG" or just "turn-based RPG" might be less confusing.
@el_pieablo One Piece is a pretty old series and has numerous games based on it. The games traditionally have been variable in quality, and often very rough and janky, but this one looks like it might be more solid though. Note though that One Piece characters can be.....a lot...
@NEStalgia Appreciate the heads up but it's actually a direct quote from the store page! Ultimately I'm not super familiar with the series so I figured it best to stick a quote in there.
Any further issue pls take it up with Bandai Namco... 🤣
@Kezelpaso sigh .....Only Bamco could make their new game sound like a PS2 remake....
Played most of the demo though seems like a more hand-holdy version of Dragon Quest XI. Also it's just too easy generally along with way too many interuptions and cutting away from gameplay. Though the graphics are alright with flashy skills which is fun.
I think I'd rather just finish Dragon Quest XI than taken this game on unfortunately. Hope those who like it enjoy.
The game is not available on the xbox one nor is the demo the game is only on xbox series x n s, ps4 and ps5
