Here’s what has been announced so far: One Piece: Monkey D.

Epic hasn’t said whether every collaboration arrives at launch, so some may roll out later in the mini-season. Servers go offline for maintenance first, and that downtime is expected to last about three hours. If you are looking for further details about the start timings, you are at the right place. In the section below, we take a detailed look at when it starts and ends in each region, plus what’s coming with the update. Matchmaking should return once the maintenance wraps up, but Epic can extend downtime, so check the official status channels. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, and Buggy the Clown lead the lineup. There are also Jonesy and Hope mashup skins, a Cuddle Team Leader (Syd) skin, and Oscar. Teasers have also shown a Pirate Chest and a remixed Anvil Square, which hints at map changes. Finish your current season quests and claim any remaining rewards before downtime starts. Clear some storage, since updates this large can take a while to download. Set a reminder for the end of the maintenance window instead of the beginning. Use the regional times above, and keep an eye on Epic’s official channels in case downtime runs long.
