Rise of the Ronin rides onto PS5 in March 2024
Rise of the Ronin, the next big action game from Team Ninja, will debut exclusively on PlayStation 5 on 22nd March 2024.
Rise of the Ronin casts you as one of these legendary wandering samurai who has to step up and shape the future of Japan at the end of the 19th century. You’ll play in a wide open world of late-Edo period Japan amidst the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, forging your own path and choosing which faction to ally yourself with. You’ll be exploring on horse and glider, engaging in battle with swords, spears, firearms and thrown weapons.
Announced back at 2022, Rise of the Ronin has been in development for around eight years, looking to make the most of the current rush for Japanese Japanese historical adventures. The closest counterpart in terms of the historical setting will be the newly announced Like a Dragon: Ishin remake, while there’s the mythology-infused battling of Nioh by Team Ninja as well, but for a grand open-world adventure, you’d look to the US-made PlayStation exclusive hit Ghost of Tsushima. That game was set some 600 years before Rise of the Ronin, with a distinct period of Japanese history that could easily whet people’s appetites to explore more and different settings.
