One Piece Card Game Sets Sail for Global Domination with Synchronized Releases and Major Convention Appearances

The One Piece Card Game is set for a massive global expansion, with simultaneous worldwide releases of new sets beginning in 2026. This strategic move aims to synchronize the game's international and Japanese release schedules, making it only the second major TCG to adopt such a model. Fans can also look forward to a series of major convention appearances and beginner-friendly events throughout 2025.

Global Expansion and Synchronized Releases

Bandai has announced a significant shift in the release strategy for the One Piece Card Game. Starting in 2026, all new card sets will launch simultaneously worldwide. This initiative aims to align the international release calendar with Japan's, a process that will involve gradually slowing down Japanese releases while accelerating international ones over the coming months. This makes the One Piece Card Game the second major TCG, after Magic: The Gathering, to implement simultaneous global releases.

  • Key Takeaway: New card sets will have simultaneous global launches from 2026, synchronizing release schedules worldwide.
