Bandai Namco to debut new One Piece game at Amusement Expo 2025
Bandai Namco has unveiled its extensive lineup for the upcoming “Amusement Expo 2025,” revealing a host of new arcade games that will be playable for the first time.
The company’s booth will feature the debut of a new One Piece medal game, a new entry in the Wangan Midnight racing series, and several other new titles.
The headline attraction will be “ONE PIECE: The Phantom Secret Stone and the Gears of Destiny,” the first-ever medal pusher game for the globally popular One Piece franchise.
In this game, players will drop balls onto the field, which can trigger a variety of events, including adventures and battles.
The goal is to collect the “Secret Stones” with the Straw Hat crew and challenge the “Gigantic Reel” for a chance at the jackpot.
Another major debut will be “Wangan Midnight Speed Ignition,” a new project for the long-running racing series, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The game will feature a newly designed cabinet that focuses on recreating the authentic feel of operating a sports car. To further enhance the realism, a real-life “NISSAN GT-R NISMO Special Edition 2024 Model” will be on display at the booth.
Other new games that will be showcased include:
- ONE PIECE DAWN STRIKE
An “immersive” punching game, first announced earlier this year, where players can battle against the characters from the One Piece anime.
- PENLALIVE
A new “penlight rhythm game” featuring a lineup of popular songs.
- Tekipaki Kitchen
A cooking experience game for children that lets them enjoy the feeling of chopping, grilling, and mixing.
In addition to the new games, the booth will also feature a “Sustainability Corner,” which will explain the company’s efforts to recycle empty gashapon capsules.
A team of 36 “Hospitality Meisters,” specially selected employees from Bandai Namco’s arcades, will also be on hand to assist visitors and demonstrate the value of customer service.
