On Sunday, August 23, 2026, the vibrant halls of Chiba’s Makuhari Messe convention center buzzed with excitement as Toei Animation unveiled plans for not one but two new cinematic adventures starring the beloved Straw Hat Pirates. This announcement coincided with One Piece Day 2026 and mirrored the dual-launch strategy similar to Nintendo’s Pokémon releases.
Scheduled to set sail in summer 2027 is One Piece Film God Valley, while One Piece Film Baad is queued for a 2029 debut. These anticipated films follow in the wake of the 2022 blockbuster, One Piece Film: Red, previously helmed by director Gorō Taniguchi. Although details regarding the directors and crew for the upcoming films remain under wraps, Toei assures fans that more information will be revealed soon, offering a taste of what’s to come through an enticing teaser.
