Rise of the Ronin is coming to PC in March with support for 8K resolution, ray tracing, and 'mouse clickability'

Before there was Assassin's Creed Shadows there was Rise of the Ronin, revealed in 2022 as a «combat focused open-world action RPG» set in 19th century Japan near the end of the Tokugawa period. Although it was announced as a «PlayStation 5 console exclusive,» we speculated that it would come to PC too, and we were right—just a little ahead of ourselves: Team Ninja said today that Rise of the Ronin will come to PC on March 10, 2025 (or maybe March 11, depending on your time zone), a year after its initial PS5 release.

As a ronin—a samurai without a master, something I learned from the X-Files—players will forge their destinies through choices and encounters with a range of historical figures and factions, leading to multiple possible endings in a open world set during the Bakumatsu period, when western powers began exerting influence over the Japanese nation.

But Rise of the Ronin is no strategy sim: It's developed by Koei Tecmo's Team Ninja, developer of the Nioh and Ninja Gaiden games, and so you'll also be dropping a lot of bodies using numerous melee weapons and multiple combat styles, along with guns and bows that must be used «strategically according to the situation.»

The PS5 version of Rise of the Ronin was well received, holding a 76/100 aggregate rating on Metacritic, and the PC version promises an array of exclusive enhancements:

8K resolutions and ray tracing are great (and this will no doubt be the best-looking Rise of the Ronin you're ever going to see) but for my money, as someone who played through Elden Ring with a mouse and keyboard, it's the «mouse clickability» that really carries the day here. Hey, I'm a simple man with simple needs.

The Rise of the Ronin PC system requirements are pretty simple too, although that 180GB drive space footprint is an eye popper. Here's what you'll need to play:

Additional information: SSD required. Poor SSD performance may affect gameplay. Multi-channel memory architecture recommended. This game is expected to run
