Here in this time of mayhem, you embody a Ronin character, a warrior bound to no master and free to make choices of its own. It is the very end of a 300-year long Edo Period, commonly known as “Bakumatsu.” Set in the late 19th century, Japan is facing the darkest of times as it struggles with its oppressive rulers and deadly diseases while western influence permeates as civil war continues to rage between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Anti-Shogunate factions. Rise of the Ronin is a combat focused open-world action RPG that takes place in Japan at a time of great change. Team Ninja’s Director and President, Fumihiko Yasuda spoke about the background of Rise of the Ronin. How Rise of the Ronin fares in this same battleground will be interesting when it releases in 2024. Interestingly, Team Ninja has been working on this game for seven years, and a lot has changed in that time in terms of how traditional Japan is depicted in games, from what Ghost Of Tsushima has achieved, Team Ninja’s own Nioh, and now, most recently Ubisoft has decided that it’s time to take Assassin’s Creed to Japan. Rise Of Ronin is an action RPG “which takes you on an epic and unfettered journey as a Ronin at the dawn of a new era in Japan” says the post on the PlayStation Blog. Rise of the Ronin is a partnership between both Team Ninja and Sony Interactive Entertainment, resulting in exclusivity for the PS5. The developer has gone from on its knees less than half a decade ago, to sprinting faster than most, but what is Rise of the Ronin? From a wounded developer who had seemingly lost their way following the launch of Ninja Gaiden 3 in 2012 to a team who had once again found form with the release of 2017’s Nioh, and it’s been onwards and upwards since with Nioh 2, the compilation of the three modern Ninja Gaiden games, S tranger Of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin for Square Enix, the incredibly anticipated 2023 release, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and now a new game, Rise Of Ronin, set for release in 2024. Team Ninja, seemingly out of nowhere, has become one of the hottest developers in the business at present.
