One Piece Pirate Warriors 2's Collectible Luffy Figure Previewed

The European branch of Namco Bandai Games started streaming a video on Thursday teasing a collectible Luffy figurine created by Keiji Iwakura, which will be included with the Collectors Edition of the One Piece Pirates Warriors 2 game for the PlayStation 3, to be released in August 2013.

The collectible Luffy figurine will only be available with the European version of the game. The North American version of the game will be download only.

Namco Bandai Games Europe also streamed an English trailer for the game last week. The same video debuted in Japanese earlier this month. In the trailer, the Straw Hat pirates come across a sealed-off top-secret weapon of the Marines — one that turns the pirates against each other. The game sequel is set in the New World arc of Eiichiro Oda's original manga and Toei's anime adaptation with powered-up characters and action. It also introduces a new original mode called "Pirate's Log," new characters, and new stages such as the Punk Hazard arc.

Namco Bandai Games released 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.
