Rise of the Ronin Gets Loads of New PS5 Gameplay Footage, Featuring 8 Different Fighting Styles | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Just a few weeks away from release at the time of writing, Rise of the Ronin has graced us with eight new PS5 gameplay videos, each of them showcasing a different weapon-based fighting style. Nioh fans will definitely recognise some of them, but there's an impressive degree of variety on offer here.

The eight weapon types are as follows (as translated by Gematsu): bayonet, dual swords, long-range, long sword, naginata, odachi, spear, and sword. Going by the actual footage, there's going to be a good amount of depth to each style; combos, counters, throws, interrupts, and more are on display.

We've got high hopes for Rise of the Ronin's combat system, especially given Team Ninja's track record. But which weapon type do you want to use? Choose odachi like everyone else in the comments section below.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

Looks like a less good version of ghost of tsushima to me. Very rigid looking animations and just very stiff looking overall. The engine it's running on looks like a typical soulslike engine. Hoping it's great though as i love this style of game

Wow this game is looking great for the combat. I'm loving how many options there are for combat all that remains is that the loot should be reduced compared to Nioh 2 which was too overwhelming.

I’ll take the sword, I’m a simple man. Team Ninja knows a good combat system. This is looking great.

Tempted to go sword and pretend I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima 2, because god knows when we're actually getting it.

@ShogunRok All this game does is make me want to play Ghost if I'm being honest. It's coming out the same day as Dragons Dogma 2 as well ugh.

@atthegates as someone who platinumed GoT and both Niohs, GoT should be the game with
