Among the most eagerly awaited games we can mention in particular the PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin, which promises very good things. According to new information, it even promises to be impressive. We explain why.
Rise of the Ronin, the highly anticipated new game from Team Ninja, is set in late 19th century Japan, a period marked by the arrival of American ships and the clash of cultures between East and West.

Rise of Ronin: a wonderful journey to Japan
GameInformer was able to play Rise of Ronin and provide a fairly complete review of it. Between the cities, the player traverses a landscape devastated by bandits, which is rich in side quests. Exploration is facilitated by various means of transportation such as horse, hang glider, grappling hook and others.
We can learn that unlike Nioh, which was also developed by Team Ninja, Rise of the Ronin aims to be more realistic and contains fewer fantastical elements. Several real historical figures will appear in the game. Additionally, important decisions made by the player will influence the outcome of the story – a first for Team Ninja. And excellent news for history lovers with a capital H.
Differences and similarities with Nioh

Ronin, the game’s main character, is described as “fully developed,” but players can choose how he is portrayed in the story. You should therefore have to make several decisions to develop it further.
The melee system is similar to Nioh, with parries and different weapon styles. The Ronin will also be able to use firearms and polearms. The game introduces a Souls-style currency that is lost upon death, but also retains a traditional experience bar.
Team Ninja said they always wanted to create an open world and saw this as a natural progression for them. Rise of the Ronin therefore seems to mark a turning point in their approach to video game development. A great thing for those who love exploring.
With its fascinating historical setting, rich open world and a more realistic approach to combat and storytelling, Rise of the Ronin stands out as a promising and ambitious gaming experience for fans of the samurai era and world adventures. open.
The game will be available on March 22, 2024.
