One Piece Card Game's biggest anniversary release yet is on the way. Confirmed via the official One Piece Card Game product site and reported by SNKRDUNK Magazine, OP-17 "THE WORLD'S STRONGEST WARRIORS" releases in Japan on August 22, 2026, marking the game's 4th anniversary, while six new Starter Decks (ST31-36) arrive July 31, 2026.
This is a confirmed release with locked dates, so here's what's included.
The official product site and SNKRDUNK Magazine confirm the following:
Anniversary sets in trading card games routinely draw outsized attention because publishers concentrate their strongest reprints and most requested characters into a single release, and OP-17's Four Emperors focus suggests Bandai is treating this milestone accordingly.
Releasing three weeks ahead of the main OP-17 booster, the six ST31-36 Starter Decks give newer players and deck-builders a head start on the Elbaf Arc characters before the anniversary set's full card pool becomes available.
With Starter Decks landing July 31 and the anniversary booster following August 22, collectors have a staggered window to budget across two separate releases rather than one large one.
For the Starter Decks' pre-built decks, EVORETRO's premium card sleeves are ready as soon as the decks ship.
For organizing pulls across both releases, EVORETRO's 9-pocket binder pages keep the growing anniversary collection sorted by character or deck.

July 31, 2026.
The Four Emperors and Elbaf Arc powerhouse characters.
Six (ST31-36), each built around a different popular character.
Between the six new Starter Decks and the 4th anniversary OP-17 booster, One Piece Card Game collectors have two major releases to plan for within a few weeks of each other. With both dates now confirmed, it's worth prepping protection ahead of time.
Having sleeves and binder pages ready means whichever wave you chase first, your pulls stay protected from day one.
