THREE NEW CHARACTERS ANNOUNCED FOR ONE PIECE WORLD SEEKER 

THREE NEW CHARACTERS ANNOUNCED FOR ONE PIECE WORLD SEEKER 

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe today revealed three new characters taking part in ONE PIECE WORLD SEEKER, the most ambitious ONE PIECE game so far. These three new characters on Jail Island are some of the world’s strongest: Sakazuki (Akainu), Kuzan (Aokiji) and Crocodile.

Sakazuki (Akainu), Admiral of the Marine Fleet, is the possessor of the Magma-Magma fruit (Magu Magu no Mi), which allows him to burn everything with his lava. After the attacks of various naval bases, an investigation on these incidents has landed him on Jail Island. He is responsible for a tragedy in Luffy’s life and their reunion promises to be heated.

Former Admiral Kuzan (Aokiji) is the possessor of the Chilly-Chilly fruit (Hie Hie No Mi) and can freeze himself and the surroundings in an instant. He knows all secrets about Jail Island and wants Luffy to leave this place as soon as possible, but he doesn’t reveal the reason for that.

Crocodile, former royal warlord of the sea (Shichibukai), is the user of the Sand-Sand fruit (Suna Suna No MI), that gives him the ability to manipulate the sand freely. Furthermore, he can deprive all things from water just by his touch. What is the purpose of his visit to Jail Island?

ONE PIECE WORLD SEEKER will be available in 2018 on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC as part of the ONE PIECE Big Projects.

GOAL!!!

Available today exclusively on AirConsole in both a free and premium edition, Final Goal features family-friendly gameplay that even the most casual of players can pick up in a snap. Your favorite team didn’t qualify this year? No problem! With over 50 national teams to choose from with an AirConsole Hero subscription — including those that didn’t make the cut this year — Final Goal won’t be getting any red cards for lack of fun or content. Kicking out a few rounds of Final Goal for bragging rights during half time couldn’t be any easier with AirConsole either; all you need is a web browser, a mobile phone and some friends (or frenemies) to challenge.

“We’ve designed AirConsole to be a highly accessible gaming platform that delivers great quality content and keeps friends and family playing together. We couldn’t be happier to share Final Goal with football fans around the world, just in time for the 2018 World Cup,” said Andrin von Rechenberg, N-Dreams AG’s CEO. “It’s the perfect way to fill time between halves or matches, keeping the excitement of the game alive off-pitch.”

  • Be a Soccer Superstar: Put Pelé, Messi and Ronaldo to shame with your mad shooting skills — find that sweet spot during a pass and perform all-star moves such as the overhead bicycle kick, or head it away from the crowd to rally your team to score that goal you and your friends will talk about for weeks.
  • Unique, Interactive Sprint System: Shake your mobile phone controller and gain that extra bit of power that pushes your player past their limits. Run at speeds that would intimidate any olympic athlete as you whip around the field, dodging those in your path.
