Game developer Bandai Namco is planning to release the "One Piece: Burning Blood" video game on April 21 next year. The company said that the game will be rolled out exclusively for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan. In fact, the company will release two editions of the game, namely, the regular and the special Anison Sound edition, a report from Design & Trend said on Friday.
According to the report, the game developer said that the game's Anison sound edition will likely feature 21 tracks that were taken from the popular anime "One Piece." It was said that the game's tracks will automatically play during the battle.
