When Kairosoft — the Japanese studio behind beloved management sims like Game Dev Story and Pocket City — announced it was teaming up with Bandai Namco to build a One Piece restaurant game, the response on social media was immediate and loud. ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet launches globally on 23 October 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam), iOS and Android.
What Is One Piece: Grand Gourmet?
Grand Gourmet is a restaurant management sim set aboard the Baratie Number 2, the legendary floating restaurant from the One Piece universe, now with a second location crewed by the Straw Hats. You work alongside Sanji to develop menus, recruit staff from across the One Piece cast, and keep hungry pirates — and the occasional Warlord — fed and satisfied.
Kairosoft’s signature loop of gradual upgrades, resource management and unlocking new content translates naturally here: cook new dishes, expand the floor plan, and attract rarer and rarer customers as your reputation grows on the seas. If you’ve sunk time into any of their previous sims, the formula will feel immediately familiar — but dressing it in One Piece’s world adds a layer of fan-service depth that most management games can’t touch.
400+ Characters and a Pixel-Art Straw Hat Crew
The headline number is the cast: over 400 One Piece characters appear in a bespoke pixel-art style created specifically for this game — the first time most of them have ever been rendered that way. Familiar faces show up as both staff you can hire and customers rolling through your door, each bringing their own personality quirks and dining preferences.
Bandai Namco confirms that character events will unlock unique story beats, and that dishes take inspiration from the franchise’s most iconic arcs, including decor and recipes themed around Whole Cake Island and Egghead. Interior customisation runs deep too — over 200 furniture and decorative items let you build everything from a rowdy pirate tavern to a refined haute-cuisine experience worthy of a Yonko’s palace.
How Singapore Players Can Get One Piece: Grand Gourmet
The October 23 release is a simultaneous global launch across all platforms. Nintendo has listed the game on the Nintendo Malaysia/Singapore eShop, confirming regional digital access for Switch and Switch 2 owners. PC players can wishlist it on Steam, and the mobile release on iOS and Android means this is one of the more accessible One Piece games in a while — no console required.
No SGD pricing has been announced yet (to be confirmed closer to launch), but Kairosoft’s mobile titles typically fall in the premium-one-time-purchase bracket, so expect something in the S$10–S$20 range on mobile and standard eShop pricing on Switch. We’ll update once official prices are confirmed. Check our Game News feed for updates.
Last Words
One Piece: Grand Gourmet is one of those announcements that makes complete sense in hindsight — the Baratie is one of the series’ most beloved settings, Sanji has always been the perfect anchor for a cooking game, and Kairosoft’s expertise with the management-sim format means Singapore fans are not just getting fan-service: they’re getting a game built by people who know exactly how to make the loop satisfying. The mobile release especially removes the Switch 2 paywall that’s been the barrier for some of the other big October titles.
23 October 2026. Mark it.
