One Piece Odyssey is a new addition to the One Piece franchise, and as such, it is set within the existing timeline of the series. However, it is not necessary for players to be fully caught up with the anime or manga in order to enjoy the game. The game takes place around the time when the crew made a stop on an island called Zou, which is after the Dressrosa arc.
What is the game about?
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has stated that the game will not be a direct adaptation of the anime or manga, but rather a new story that takes place in the same world. The game is expected to feature new characters and locations, as well as its own unique story. That being said, players who are more familiar with the story and characters of One Piece will likely have a deeper understanding of the game's events and characters, but the game is designed to be accessible to new players who are not as familiar with the series.
As for the specific point in the series' timeline, it's unclear exactly when One Piece Odyssey will take place in the story, but it's not expected to have a direct impact on the main story arcs and events of the anime/manga. It is worth noting that the game is an RPG and it is expected to have a lot of side missions and storylines, so the main story of the anime and manga may not be the main focus of the game. Even if you are not fully caught up with the anime or manga, playing One Piece Odyssey can still be a great way to enjoy the world of One Piece.
Where will the story of One Piece take place?
While the events of One Piece Odyssey are to be considered non-canon, the story itself can easily slot into a very specific time within the series. Eiichiro Oda and Bandai Namco’s team of developers began development of One Piece Odyssey roughly around the same time when the Whole Cake Island Arc was in production in the manga series, and it can be clearly determined from the information that has been released that the game's main story takes place around that same time.
Where is the game One Piece set?
The game is set in the same world as the series, and its timeline is closely tied to the events of the manga and anime. Specifically, the game takes place around the time when the crew made a stop on an island called Zou, which is after the Dressrosa arc and before they all split up during the Whole Cake Island Arc. This allows players to experience events and locations in the series that haven't been explored in depth before.
One of the key features of the game is the "World of Memories", which allows players to relive some of the most iconic story arcs from the series. These sections of the game follow the canon storylines of the manga and anime, and as such they will contain spoilers for those arcs. Therefore, players who want to avoid spoilers and fully immerse themselves in the game should at least be caught up with the arcs that are included in the "World of Memories" section. Confirmed story arcs that will appear in the World of Memories include Alabasta, Water Seven, Marineford, and Dressrosa. Fans who want to avoid spoilers should look to be caught up to at least the Dressrosa arc in the manga or anime before playing the game.
It's worth noting that the main story of the game is non-canon, meaning it does not directly affect or change the events of the original manga and anime, so you could still enjoy the game even if you're not fully caught up with the series.
