Behind the Scenes of RISE OF THE RONIN

Team Ninja has released a developer diary for their anticipated title, 'Rise of the Ronin', which is scheduled for release on March 22 for the PlayStation 5. This in-depth video showcases the meticulous recreation of ancient Japan in this open-world action RPG. Set in the tumultuous closing years of the Edo period, players find themselves in a nation fraught with oppressive leadership, deadly diseases, and a war between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Anti-Shogunate faction.

As a ronin, gamers will experience the freedom of a masterless warrior, making their own choices and wielding katanas along with various weapons to navigate combat scenarios. The game features innovative mobility, allowing players to soar through the skies with a special device. Developed by the creators of Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, 'Rise of the Ronin' promises intense action and historical immersion in a beautifully crafted representation of 19th century Japan.

What type of gameplay mechanics can I expect in 'Rise of the Ronin'?

'Rise of the Ronin' will feature open-world exploration, deep combat systems with a variety of weapons, and freedom of choice that impacts the story. Players can also expect unique movement abilities, such as flying through the air, which will add a dynamic layer to exploration and combat.

'Rise of the Ronin' is developed by Team Ninja, renowned for their expertise in crafting challenging combat in video games. Their previous titles like 'Nioh' and 'Ninja Gaiden' are well-regarded for their demanding combat systems and detailed settings inspired by Japanese history and folklore.
