One Piece: Kaizoku Musou (ワンピース海賊無双, Wan Pīsu: Kaizoku Musō?) is a One Piece related video game released in Japan on March 1, 2012 for the Sony PlayStation 3 with Namco Bandai and Tecmo Koei teaming up to create it and Omega Force, a subsidiary of Tecmo Koei, developing it. The game takes place from the East Blue Saga until the New World Saga.
The title is made with the hopes of creating the "ultimate game", as developers claim that it personifies the "comrades" (仲間, nakama) and Warriors themes in a grand adventure. This game is in honor of One Piece's 15th anniversary, starting back in 1997.
While there has been no announcement for the game's release outside of Japan, the name "One Piece: Pirate Warriors" has been copyrighted in America and Europe.
