The One Piece begins delivery ahead of February 2027 release
IG Port says delivery has begun on Netflix's The One Piece, keeping WIT Studio's reboot on course for its planned February 2027 worldwide release.
The Netflix anime The One Piece has reached a meaningful production milestone: IG Port, the parent company of WIT Studio, says delivery of the series has begun ahead of its planned February 2027 worldwide release on Netflix. 1
That update appeared in IG Port's first-quarter financial reporting for the fiscal year ending May 2027. The company said its animation-production business returned to profit during the quarter, while also listing The One Piece among the projects moving towards distribution. 1 The report does not announce a new trailer or change the February release window; it is a progress update rather than a fresh date reveal.
What the production update means
“Delivery” is industry language for the work entering the handover process between production and distributor. It does not necessarily mean every episode is finished, nor does it confirm that Netflix has started marketing the full series. It does, however, suggest that the project has moved beyond the purely developmental stage that has defined much of its public history.
WIT Studio is producing this new adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga for Netflix. The series is intended to revisit the opening East Blue storyline, introducing Luffy and the Straw Hat crew in a new production built with modern animation techniques. Netflix's official teaser confirms the project and its studio, while also presenting Luffy as the visual focus of the reboot. 2
The remake is separate from Toei Animation's long-running television series. WIT Studio has described it as a reboot rather than a continuation, with the aim of making the opening story more approachable for viewers who have not followed hundreds of existing episodes. That distinction matters: this is not a replacement of the ongoing anime, but another route into the same world.
February 2027 remains the target
The available company update keeps the planned February 2027 Netflix launch intact. It does not provide a specific day, episode-by-episode rollout plan or further cast announcement. Netflix has previously positioned the series as a worldwide release, but viewers should wait for the platform to confirm the final schedule and regional availability.
The official teaser gives fans a clearer sense of the visual direction, but the production milestone is the more useful news here. A project that has taken years to reach the screen is now being delivered to its distributor, bringing The One Piece closer to the point where Netflix can set out a proper release campaign.
Our opinion
This is encouraging progress, but it is not the same as a completed series or a locked launch date. The important takeaway is that The One Piece is moving through a real production pipeline rather than simply resurfacing in another promotional tease. February 2027 still feels far away, yet delivery beginning now gives the reboot a firmer footing than another vague “coming soon” update would have offered.
