A Message from the ONE PIECE CARD GAME Development Team
To all of our passionate players and fans,
This is an update from the ONE PIECE CARD GAME Development Team.
First of all, a big thank you from all of us for playing the ONE PIECE CARD GAME.
Knowing that each and every one of you is enjoying the game drives and inspires us every day.
Today, we'd like to share an important update regarding the future of the game with the introduction of the new regulations starting April 1, 2026. In particular, we want to talk about the update to Block Numbers in the Standard Regulation format.
Why Introduce These Regulations Now?
Our goal has always been to make the ONE PIECE CARD GAME a game that players can enjoy for many generations to come.
To support that goal, we are introducing two official regulations starting April 1, 2026:
Standard Regulation
A fresh and strategic environment where players can continuously engage with new cards and tactics. By refreshing the card pool on a regular basis, all players can start from the same line and have the opportunity to explore new strategies together.
Extra Regulation
A format where you can enjoy battles freely using any of the cards released so far, including your favorite characters and most memorable cards. It offers a gameplay experience that lets you enjoy the grand history of ONE PIECE itself.
We believe these two regulations will provide a lasting foundation for players to enjoy the ONE PIECE CARD GAME more deeply and for even longer, in ways that match each player's unique playstyle and preferences.
Updated Block Numbers and PREMIUM BOOSTER -ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2-
The main topic we want to share with you today is about Block Numbers, a key component of the new Standard Regulation.
The upcoming PREMIUM BOOSTER, releasing on July 26, 2025, will have cards with “Block Number ①”.
The PREMIUM BOOSTER -ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2- includes cards that will expand deckbuilding options while also serving as a bridge to the new Standard Regulation environment beginning in April 2026.
We have received many concerns regarding how the cards included in this set will be treated under the new regulations.
We recognize that the lack of clarity caused confusion and concern, and for that, we sincerely apologize.
Originally, we planned to release this information closer to the launch of the new regulations. However, in order to ease your concerns and allow fans to look forward to the new PREMIUM BOOSTER packs, we are announcing today that all Block Number ① cards from this PREMIUM BOOSTER will be treated as Block Number ④ under the new Standard Regulation, effective April 1, 2026.
A full list of relevant cards is available via the link below:

We hope the PREMIUM BOOSTER -ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2- gives veteran players an exciting opportunity to try out new leaders and strategies, while also acting as a perfect entry point for newcomers into the rich and rewarding world of the ONE PIECE CARD GAME.
In Conclusion
As we approach the game's third anniversary in August, and look beyond it toward the future, the entire development team remains committed to delivering an experience that is exciting, welcoming, and deeply rewarding for players of all kinds.
We have some exciting news to reveal to everyone about the ONE PIECE CARD GAME's third anniversary at ONE PIECE DAY '25, taking place on August 9 and 10, so we hope you will all be looking forward to the event!
