The five new characters are Brook, Magellan, Moriah, Perona and Robin. 

They'll join the other characters announced earlier: Ace, Aokiji, Buggy, Chopper, Clown, Crocodile, Enel, Mihawk, Rob Lucci, Roronoa Zoro, Sabo, Sanji, Smoker, Tashigi and Usopp.

Descriptions of the five new characters have also been added plus the descriptions of the four locations in the game namely, Alabasta, Drum Island, Mock town and Skypiea.

The upcoming game will focus on Luffy and his travels starting with the Dressrosa Arc. 

While this is the third installment of "One Piece," it will be the first one to be released on the next gen PlayStation 4 console.

Bandai also released several YouTube videos featuring the fighting moves of the game's characters.

The Hancock character uses Salome, her snake weapon, to defeat a group of her antagonists using a series of martial acrobatic moves.  Like Medusa, she has the ability to turn her enemies into stone.

Ivanko vanquishes his numerous opponents by using complicated movements of the Newkama Kenpo technique and his big head.

King of the Sea Jinbe's fighting style may not be as acrobatic or as complicated but is certainly no less powerful. His Fisherman Karate and numerous water techniques give him the advantage to attack and defeat opponents from a distance.

 The upcoming release of the third installment "One Piece" game was earlier announced in August 2014.  

"One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3" will be released on the PlayStation 3 and 4 consoles, PS Vita and PC (through Steam).

There has been no official announcement if a Steam version will be made available in Japan, however. The game will hit the store shelves in North America and Europe this summer.
