One Piece is in its 27th year on television with a split-cour schedule that began in 2026, and the Elbaph arc supplies the character lineup for a wave of merchandise and retail campaigns. A permanent Mugiwara Store opened in Los Angeles on November 6, 2026, and a Fortnite collaboration launched November 1, 2026.
The most recent stories put One Piece merchandise and retail ahead of the anime itself. Bandai Namco reported record first-half results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, with Toy and Hobby segment profit at 101.1 billion yen against 27.8 billion yen in Digital, and One Piece toys are named among the drivers alongside Gundam. The merchandise calendar runs from the Elbaph arc: MegaHouse adds a Nami Elbaph figure as the third Portrait.Of.Pirates Elevated Boost entry, Bandai ships a One Piece no Mi gashapon set with Elbaph-costumed Straw Hats, and a Namco crane campaign runs from November 20, 2026 to January 11, 2027 with a Loki prize figure. Outside Japan, a ONE PIECE MUGIWARA STORE opened at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles on November 6, 2026, and a coen apparel collection went on sale the same day.
The anime changed its broadcast pattern in 2026. The series has aired more than 27 years, and the TV anime adopted a split-cour format with fixed rest periods, which let the staff drop recaps and anime-original arcs; animation quality improved, and the tradeoff is a thinner cushion against Eiichiro Oda's manga. Story coverage places the current arc as Elbaph, with Crunchyroll adding every episode of the anime to its India library.
Games and crossovers carry the franchise into other storefronts. Fortnite's Treasure Hunters season launched November 1, 2026 with a One Piece collaboration, selling Luffy at 1,800 V-Bucks and Nami and Usopp at 1,600 each, with Robin and Ace in the Battle Pass and Sanji, Zoro, Chopper and Buggy arriving later; Devil Fruits spawn during matches and transform players. Kairosoft developed One Piece: Ocean's Delicious Restaurant, released October 22, 2026 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, with PC, iOS and Android versions following on October 23. A live-action One Piece series is nominated for Favorite Family TV Show at the 2026 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

One Piece has aired for more than 27 years, and in 2026 the TV anime adopted a split-cour format with fixed rest periods between broadcasts. The schedule let the staff stop stuffing episodes with recaps, stretched flashbacks, anime-original arcs, and side stories that had kept the show from catching up to Eiichiro Oda's manga. Animation quality has improved, and the concern is that the old filler had uses of its own.
Epic Games began its One Piece collaboration in Fortnite on November 1.

Bandai Namco Entertainment released One Piece: Ocean's Delicious Restaurant for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22, 2026, with the PC version via Steam and the iOS and Android versions set for October 23. Kairosoft, the studio behind a long line of pixel-art management simulations, developed the game. The story starts when a fake version of the sea restaurant Baratie appears, and Luffy and Sanji open a second branch to out-earn the impostor. Players run that branch as a customizable rookie staff member: sending companions on outings for ingredients and recipes, building set menus from a main dish, side dish, drink, and dessert, decorating tables, and buying facilities. Kairosoft's pixel art carries the presentation, and the roster reaches over 400 characters, from early figures like Koby and Gaimon to Loki and Gunko from the Elbaph Arc. Nine minigames sit alongside the management loop, and the Switch 2 version supports Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. More than 200 types of furniture and interior items are included.

Wit Studio president George Wada said Attack on Titan was the only project the studio considered for its first anime. Speaking with Anime News Network at Anime Expo 2026, Wada said he chose Hajime Isayama's manga because it fit director Tetsuro Araki and because the studio's own situation matched the story. "It was the only one," he said when asked whether other options were discussed. Wada said the series helped Japanese anime reach audiences worldwide and showed what Japanese animation could do. He also noted the studio grew from six people to more than 300. Wada said Wit Studio is preparing The One Piece for release in February 2027, and he described some fear and anxiety about the adaptation alongside greater excitement. He also mentioned Tokyo Anime Next, an international animation event in Ikebukuro from October 30 to November 2, 2026.

The One Piece TV anime ended its 2026 broadcast run with Episode 1180 on September 27, and a 2027 return is confirmed. The episode is the final one for this year, so the series goes off air rather than into a new arc. No date in 2027 has been given, and no episode count, cast change, or staff change has been announced. The break is a scheduling gap in the broadcast, not a series ending. Anime Corner, which reported the pause on September 27, tied the news directly to the 2027 return. AnimationXpress Anime followed on September 28 with the same two facts: the TV run wrapped for the year, and the voyage continues with a 2027 comeback. The two outlets agree on the sequence, Episode 1180 as this year's last installment, then the announced 2027 restart. Neither outlet names a specific month or season for the return, and neither describes what the 2027 broadcast will cover.
