For the rest, it has not been possible to see much in the playable, beyond some punctual scenes without interface that included some exploration and a combat in the form of a turns role, in the style of Dragon Quest. The visual style and the animations of the game are also especially good, and even the Ode himself speaks that when he saw the results he felt "as if he was watching a movie."

The announcement has come accompanied by an interview with the producer of the game, Katsuaki Tsuzuki, who confirms One Piece Odyssey as a JRPG. In it, he explains that the design of the characters and the monsters also run by Eiichiro Oda, and everything points to it will work with Unreal Engine.
