One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, Bandai Namco’s action-packed anime brawler, continues to grow on Nintendo Switch.
Originally released in 2020 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, the game received a significant boost last month with the free Switch 2 Edition upgrade.
This enhanced version introduces upgraded visuals, more on-screen enemies, and new DLC recruitment options, marking a major update for both new players and longtime fans. To ring in 2026, Bandai Namco has officially revealed that Character Pack 8, dubbed the “Special Selection,” will launch on 22nd January 2026 for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.
This paid downloadable content pack introduces three formidable new characters from the One Piece universe: Eneru, Z, and King.
The announcement follows the recent debut of the "Future Island Egghead" Character Pack in November, reinforcing Bandai Namco’s ongoing support for the game post-launch. Alongside this DLC news, Bandai Namco has released new gameplay trailers showcasing the abilities and combat styles of the incoming characters, with a trailer spotlighting Z set to debut soon.
This consistent rollout of content and media has kept the One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 community engaged since its initial 2020 release. For players who already own One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 on original Nintendo Switch hardware, the Switch 2 Edition upgrade arrives at no additional cost.
The update leverages the improved hardware capabilities of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 system, offering better graphics, smoother performance, and a more intense battlefield experience thanks to increased enemy counts and enhanced effects.
Additionally, expanded DLC support allows for even more characters to join the crew. Currently, both the original Nintendo Switch and the upgraded Switch 2 Editions of One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 are available on the Nintendo eShop in the United States at a significant discount.
Gamers can purchase the title for just $9.99, marked down from its regular price of $39.99.
This promotion gives a new generation of Switch and Switch 2 users the perfect opportunity to dive into the One Piece-inspired action. Bandai Namco’s commitment to supporting One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 with regular content updates and feature enhancements exemplifies the developer’s dedication to its fanbase and the enduring popularity of anime games on Nintendo platforms.
With fresh DLC, visual improvements, and continuous sales momentum, Pirate Warriors 4 remains a standout title in the anime action RPG genre on both the Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Switch 2.
