Toei Animation has officially announced two new theatrical features for the franchise during the One Piece Day '26 event at the Makuhari Messe convention in Japan. The studio scheduled One Piece Film: God Valley for a summer 2027 release, followed by One Piece Film: BaaD in 2029. The announcement breaks a theatrical hiatus for the IP that has persisted since the release of One Piece Film: Red in 2022.
Adapting the God Valley Incident
The 2027 film will focus on the God Valley Incident, a major historical event in the series lore involving the Rocks Pirates, Gol D. Roger, and Monkey D. Garp. This project brings canonical lore to the big screen, detailing the clash that erased the island from history. Toei Animation confirmed the summer 2027 window during the convention panel, with updates distributed globally via the official Eiichiro_Staff social media channels.
The 30th Anniversary Project
The 2029 film, titled One Piece Film: BaaD, serves as the anchor for the anime television adaptation's 30th-anniversary milestones. Series creator Eiichiro Oda personally drew the official title logo for the project, signaling his direct involvement in the anniversary feature. While plot details for BaaD remain under wraps, the 2029 release timeline places the film directly adjacent to the franchise's three-decade broadcast anniversary.
These two greenlit productions establish a structured theatrical pipeline for the studio through the end of the decade. By spacing the releases across 2027 and 2029, Toei Animation secures a continuous cinema presence for the property, moving past the four-year gap that followed Film: Red.
This strategic scheduling allows production teams ample time to maintain high visual standards without overwhelming the core television animation staff. The decision to tackle the God Valley Incident first addresses persistent fan demand for deeper exploration into the void century and legendary historical conflicts that shaped the current world order. Meanwhile, the subsequent arrival of BaaD in 2029 ensures that the franchise's milestone legacy is celebrated with an original cinematic spectacle tailored for the global community.
As production ramps up, the announcement has immediately revitalized global anticipation within the fandom, bridging the gap between ongoing manga arcs and monumental cinematic storytelling. With Toei Animation charting a definitive course for the remainder of the decade, the Grand Line is poised to conquer the silver screen once again, cementing the timeless endurance of Oda's legendary creation.
