SAN JOSE, Calif., (September 3, 2013) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced that ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS™ 2 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system is available today in North and Latin America exclusively through the PlayStation®Network. The dynamic collaboration between NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. and TECMO KOEI GAMES brings gamers vigorous beat-em-up action within the ONE PIECE® universe, one of the most popular anime and manga franchises in the world.
After two years of training, the Straw Hat Crew is back and better than ever as Luffy continues his quest to become the Pirate King! In ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS 2 players will feel the thrill of being able to play as over 30 different characters from the ONE PIECE world including new characters like Eneru, Perona and more, each joining the battle with their New World costumes on fascinating and peculiar islands. Players will experience intensive New World action and over-the-top battles in explosive power clashes in a never seen before story, expanding upon the previous ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS title with renewed techniques, dream battles, and all-new Haki action.
ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS 2 introduces Haki attacks, an exciting and game-changing battle element from the ONE PIECE universe. Haki will allow players to overpower thousands of enemies at once with wide destructive force or switch their battle styles for a more focused tactical gameplay strategy. Players will also enjoy seeing powerful Pirate and Marine characters jumping into the fray as either formidable foes or valuable allies in scenarios that will turn the ONE PIECE story on its head. Many of these characters will be playable for the first time ever and fans will be delighted to be able to add these characters to their crew. Through evolved crew strike actions, players will be able to customize their crewmates who will then respond to the call to attack anytime and anywhere, enhancing the sense of togetherness during battle with more freedom to pull-off powerful crew combo attacks.
ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS 2 will be available today for purchase via download from the PlayStation Network following the regular Tuesday update in North and Latin America for $49.99 and is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB.
