Kairosoft has announced its first collaboration with a major shonen franchise, developing a One Piece restaurant management simulation game for release in October 2026 on multiple platforms.
Kairosoft, the studio known for simulation games like Game Dev Story, is entering licensed anime territory for the first time. In June 2026, Bandai Namco and Kairosoft announced a One Piece restaurant management game during the Nintendo Direct. The game, titled One Piece: Grand Gourmet (also referred to as One Piece: Ocean's Delight Restaurant in earlier coverage), puts players in charge of the Baratie Number Two, a floating restaurant, working with the Straw Hat Crew to expand it. Sanji is central to developing recipes, and players collect ingredients, cook dishes, and customize the restaurant with over 200 items inspired by One Piece locations.
The game features over 400 One Piece characters rendered in pixel-art style, a first for the franchise. Recipes include dishes such as Water-Water Meat BBQ and Sea King Penne Gorgonzola, with additional recipes unlocked through exploration. The game launches on October 23, 2026 (one story lists October 22) for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android at a price of $19.99. The Switch 2 version supports Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. Kairosoft previously developed a similar anime-themed management game, Doraemon's Dorayaki Story.
