One Piece Odyssey is set to give fans of the long-running anime and manga series the chance to live out a story in the Blue Sea. As with any other major video game release, fans are wondering how much bang the game offers for the buck.
One Piece Odyssey is a turn-based RPG. Japanese RPGs can be notoriously long, running well past 100 hours in the cases of games like Persona 5 Royal and Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. That has many questioning what kind of time commitment One Piece Odyssey is going to call for.
With reviews for the game already starting to come in, One Piece and JRPG fans have some definite answers regarding the game’s length. The good news, or bad news depending on the person, is that the game won’t actually take all that long to finish.
How Long Does it Take to Beat One Piece Odyssey?
According to those who played the game ahead of its official release, One Piece Odyssey takes an estimated 30 to 35 hours to beat. This does not take into account players tackling much of the side content associated with One Piece Odyssey and is instead just a matter of reaching and finishing the game’s final mission.
One Piece Odyssey follows the Straw Hat Pirates, a group of seafarers led by Monkey D. Luffy, who wind up shipwrecked. After hearing of the crew’s misfortune, the villainous Five Elders send a young woman named Lim to intercept the crew, steal their powers, and place them into cubes. The Straw Hat Pirates need to work together and regain their powers by trekking through familiar and unfamiliar areas.
How Long Does it Take to Complete One Piece Odyssey?
Completing One Piece Odyssey will likely take much longer than 30 hours. The complete trophy list was revealed ahead of the game’s official release, and it suggests that players who want to earn a coveted platinum trophy have quite a bit of grinding they’ll need to contend with.
While other games have limited requirements beyond beating the game and potentially seeing multiple endings, this one seemingly wants fans to truly complete the game. This includes leveling every One Piece Odyssey character past level 70, using different characters’ skills a number of times, and gathering power cubes.
An exact estimate on how long completing the game takes is unknown, but players are likely in for a grind if they want to complete One Piece Odyssey.
One Piece Odyssey launches on January 13 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
