Bandai Namco has big news for us, and be careful, it concerns French fans exclusively. You can consider yourself lucky, but watch out for your wallet.
One Piece is clearly an unstoppable phenomenon. We will still be eating it for many years, whether in video games, anime or manga. The legendary work of Eiichiro Oda is on all fronts, including the Netflix series adaptation (in live action, what’s more). This shows you how his popularity knows no limits. So, you can imagine that French fans will be happy to learn that Bandai Namco has a surprise in store for them. Get ready to take out the credit card.
A big surprise for French One Piece fans
On November 23, 2022, a certain store was launched in the United Kingdom, and more precisely at the Metrocentre in Newcastle. This is the official store dedicated to the card game “One Piece Card Game”. An ideal concept for seasoned collectors or franchise aficionados. The principle is really simple, you buy boosters and you obtain various and varied cards. You can then make a deck and face other players in a duel. But then, why are we talking to you about it today?
In fact, Bandai Namco Amusement Europe Ltd. announced the arrival of an official One Piece Card Game pop-up store… in Paris! It will open its doors at the Westfield Forum des Halles in mid-March, and we invite you to mark this date in your calendar. In addition, we are told that it will be just a few days before the release of the latest booster pack called “-WINGS OF THE CAPTAIN- [OP-06] » which will arrive on March 15. In short, that means the store is arriving this week. You shouldn’t hesitate to take a look there as soon as possible, especially since it risks going quickly.
We were impatiently awaiting the opening of the official One Piece Card Game pop-up store on the other side of the Channel as France has many passionate fans of the franchise. We wanted to provide a physical space where One Piece fans can meet, collect, trade cards and play matches for a fun and memorable experience..
