One Piece: Grand Gourmet, a new culinary-themed RPG collaboration between Bandai Namco and Kairosoft, has been officially announced for Switch 2, Switch, PC, iOS, and Android, with a release window set for 2026.
The game reimagines the One Piece universe through the lens of cooking and restaurant management, a surprising but fitting direction given the franchise’s long-standing emphasis on food and camaraderie. Players will be able to recruit Straw Hat Pirates and other familiar characters to run their own gourmet establishments, blending Kairosoft’s signature simulation mechanics with Bandai Namco’s expansive anime IP. The announcement highlights that the game will feature original storylines, character-driven quests, and culinary battles, where dishes are prepared and judged in competitive formats.
Kairosoft, known for titles like Game Dev Story and Hot Springs Story, brings its expertise in management sims to the project, ensuring that Grand Gourmet retains the addictive loop of building, upgrading, and customizing. Meanwhile, Bandai Namco’s involvement guarantees faithful representation of One Piece characters, complete with their personalities and signature moves adapted into culinary contexts.
Early previews suggest that cooking competitions will serve as the game’s “battle system,” with players combining ingredients, unlocking recipes, and showcasing special moves tied to each character. Regionally, the game is confirmed for a global release across all platforms, ensuring simultaneous access for fans worldwide. We will update with more information soon, for now, we can get a preview in the Steam Page.
