Rise of the Ronin, the much-awaited RPG is ready to hit the global markets on Friday (March 22). Every time that this latest offering from the house of Sony has been showcased, it has looked increasingly promising. While Team Ninja's reputation for delivering intense combat in their action games has fueled excitement for the upcoming title, what's even more captivating are the new elements it introduces for the developer. The most notable among these is the open-world setting.
As Team Ninja's inaugural venture into the open-world genre, Rise of the Ronin has garnered attention for its commitment to delivering a vast, authentic, and immersive portrayal of late 19th-century Japan. Whether it can fulfil this promise remains to be seen until players experience it firsthand. However, based on the previews thus far, the game appears to hold significant potential.
Rise of the Ronin: Gameplay, Plot
Taking place in 1863 Japan amidst the Boshin War, Rise of the Ronin is an action RPG set in an open-world environment focused on combat. The game immerses players in the final years of the Edo Period, depicting Japan's struggles with internal conflicts, authoritarian regimes, and external pressures.
Players step into the shoes of a Ronin, traversing the challenging terrain using agile movement, a horse for rapid ground traversal, or wings for airborne exploration. The narrative depth of the game is shaped by player decisions, impacting the storyline, various endings, and character fates.
