One Piece TCG OP-17 Releases in English on August 28 — Prerelease Starts This Week
Bandai's 4th Anniversary booster set, set at Elbaph, lands at English prerelease events on August 21 and wide release on August 28.
What Happened
Bandai's One Piece Card Game set OP-17, titled The World's Strongest Warriors, is a 4th Anniversary booster set releasing in English on August 28, 2026. Prerelease events run August 21, giving players a week-early look at the set before wide availability. The Japanese street date was August 22, placing the English release just six days behind Japan. The set is narratively anchored at Elbaph, the land of the giants.
Why Collectors Should Care
Elbaph is one of the most anticipated arcs in the One Piece story, and a set built around it means the characters tied to that location are getting their card-game moment. Anniversary sets in the One Piece TCG have historically carried elevated chase card density, so collectors heading into prerelease events or cracking boxes at launch are working with a set that carries real pull expectations. The tight six-day gap between the Japanese and English release also limits the usual arbitrage window on JP singles.
