One Piece Odyssey arrives next week, but if you can’t wait to get your hands on the promising-looking RPG, Bandai Namco will be releasing a free demo of the game a few days before launch. We’ve known a demo was coming for a while, but today, One Piece Odyssey producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki outlined what it entails. You’ll be able to play roughly the first 1 to 2 hours of Odyssey, with Bandai Namco hoping to show players this isn’t a typical slow-paced JRPG. The progress you make in the demo will transfer to the full game and everyone who plays will get access to a special “Golden Jelly” item.
“The One Piece Odyssey free demo will focus on the first one-two hours of the game, which sees Luffy and his crew members landing on a mysterious new island called Waford and meeting Lim and Adio. Save data from the One Piece Odyssey demo will be transferable to the full release of the game.”
