Rise of the Ronin Story
Rise of the Ronin offers players the opportunity to create special characters, while battles are equipped with katanas and various firearms specific to the Boshin War. In the game where you can explore the historical cities of Yokohama, Kyoto and Edo, you will be able to use various vehicles such as horses, grappling hooks or gliders. Rise of the Ronin, whose development process started in 2015, benefits from Team Ninja’s experience in making ninja and samurai-themed games in previous games such as Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. Team Ninja president Fumihiko Yasuda stated that this is the most ambitious project the game studio has ever undertaken.
Rise of the Ronin presents a new challenge for Team Ninja with its gameplay. Developing an open-world game is a particular challenge for the studio, which has previously developed linear, level-based games. Yasuda emphasised that the creation of passive non-player characters in the game was particularly effective and challenging, as in previous games everything on screen was an element that the player had to defeat. As Sony brings this samurai action-role-playing game to PlayStation in 2024, the new trailer showcased the game’s bloody fight scenes and battles set in ancient Japan. Players can grab and pull enemies to them, leap swiftly to the tops of buildings, and use powder kegs as traps when battling giants.
