One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 To Have Samurai Warriors DLC

The 16th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine will reveal on Monday one new playable character for Namco Bandai Games' One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 game, as well as DLC that will be available for the game.

The character that will be revealed will be the dark-hearted Shichibukai member, Marshall D. Teach, also known by his pirate name Blackbeard.

The downloadable content revealed for the game is a collaboration between Koei Tecmo's Samurai Warriors video game series, with Oichi's Samurai Warriors 3 outfit available for Nami and Kai's Samurai Warriors 3 outfit being available for Robin. Koei Tecmo Games and W-Force develops both the Samurai Warriors and One Piece Warriors series.

Namco Bandai Games will release the game in Japan on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita systems on March 20, while its European and American branches will release the title for PlayStation 3 this summer.

In Japan, the first copies of the game will include a download code for the battle uniform that Luffy wore in last year's One Piece Film Z, as well as the serial code for obtaining a limited in-game figure in Mobage's One Piece Grand Collection phone game. A limited Treasure Box edition will contain the game itself, an original skin sticker for the PlayStation 3 console, a pin badge display booklet to hold the pins that were bundled with the first game, a second set of 15 collection pin badges, and an original soundtrack CD.
