Ninja Gaiden and Nioh development team Ninja unveiled a brand new action RPG, rise the roninon Tuesday during Sony’s State of Play livestream – and boy does it look ambitious. Rise of the Ronin is an adventure seven years in the making, according to Fumihiko Yasuda, director and president of Team Ninja, that will take players to 19th-century Edo-period Japan for an open-world, combat-oriented journey.
“Here in this time of chaos, you embody a ronin character, a warrior unbound by any master and free to make his own decisions.” Yasuda said in an announcement on PlayStation Blog
Rise of the RoninThe first trailer shows plenty of spectacular action, with his (apparently nameless) ronin gliding through the air, performing acrobatic sword fights, using a grappling hook, and taking down enemies with a bayonet and musket.
Rise of the Ronin is coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 in 2024 – which means it’s likely coming to PC too.
