One Piece is the highest-selling manga in the whole world, having surpassed the 600 million sales mark and becoming the highest-selling comic book of all time in the process. With so much success, it’s unsurprising that the series gets massive projects one after the other. While the Toei anime adaptation is still ongoing, One Piece also has another anime underway. The One Piece remake by WIT Studio is scheduled to be released in 2027 and is looking to be absolutely massive. Now, it has officially been confirmed that fans will get their first look at this new anime at the biggest animation event, the Annecy International Film Festival.
The One Piece Remake By WIT Studio Will Show New Content At The Annecy International Animation Film Festival
The One Piece anime has a decent anime adaptation by Toei Animation that has been releasing weekly since 1999. So far, it has amassed over 1100 episodes, and is still ongoing, with no end in sight at the moment. While the Toei version of One Piece keeps getting new episodes, there is another anime for this franchise that fans have to look out for, and that is the WIT Studio remake, titled “The One Piece.”
The One Piece was officially announced at Jump Festa 2024, but very little information about it has been released since. After a release window announcement on May 7, 2026, new information about this anime project is officially coming very soon. It has been officially announced by Netflix on their X account that The One Piece remake will be featured during the world’s biggest animation festival event — the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. This event is expected to unfold between June 21 and June 27, 2026, and could be attended by some in Annecy, France. There, The One Piece remake by Wit Studio and Netflix will finally give fans their first sneak peek, as confirmed by Netflix. This means that fans are in for a trailer or, at the very least, a teaser, along with more information about the production process. The One Piece Remake won’t have its own stage, but it will be included in Netflix’s lineup.

Why The Annecy International Animation Film Festival Will Be The Biggest Day For The Fans Of The Series
The Annecy International Animation Film Festival will be absolutely massive for One Piece for more than one reason. First, it will reveal a ton of exciting information concerning this long-awaited adaptation that has now been in the works for almost 3 years. Beyond that, it will also go on to further the reach of One Piece globally. As many anime fans have now noticed, Japanese animation is often snubbed or ignored at international award shows, or events. Usually, only Studio Ghibli ever makes an appearance at the likes of the major events, such as the Oscars. Even Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was snubbed from this major event after its massive financial success.
The fact that One Piece is being featured at the biggest animation festival in the whole world is massive news, not only for the One Piece series itself but for anime, in general. It’s clear that anime is being taken more seriously globally. One Piece’s appearance sets a major precedent and just goes to show how massive this project by WIT is about to be.

Everything We Know So Far About One Piece’s Anime Remake By WIT Studio And Netflix
Fans are eagerly awaiting June to come so more information concerning The One Piece is revealed. So far, quite a lot of information has been provided to the fans this month. The One Piece remake by WIT Studio was first announced in December 2023, during Jump Festa 2024. It will be produced by some of the same staff as Attack on Titan’s first three seasons, which includes director Masashi Koizuka, and other talented animators and directors. Kyouji Sabo will be responsible for character designs.
Just a few days ago, it was officially revealed that The One Piece anime remake Season 1 will feature 7 episodes in total. While 7 episodes might sound short at first, according to Netflix, these episodes will each be 42 minutes long, which is about double the length of normal episodes, totaling around 300 minutes worth of content. In normal anime terms, this is closer to 14 episodes. With 7 chapters per episode, the pacing is absolutely perfect. Additionally, the release window for the project has also been unveiled, and this anime is set to debut in February 2027. The exact release date is yet to be determined, but this is exciting news for the fans nevertheless. A new Key Visual for the anime remake was also revealed, but the major teasers will only follow in June, during the highly anticipated Film Festival.
