Team Ninja, the developers behind Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, have released the second episode in a behind-the-scenes video series focused on the game development of its forthcoming open-world action RPG, Rise of the Ronin.
Titled “The Fight,” this latest video unsurprisingly puts a focus on the game’s action combat. In the video, game producer and director Fumihiko Yasuda and animation lead Kosuke Wakamatsu offer their insights into the development of the game’s combat. The team began with examining the various ideologies throughout Ronin history, including how (and why) some Ronin fought, and how to best incorporate that into a game that seeks to remain true to the final years of the Edo period in Japan (otherwise known as Bakumatsu).
During the Bakamatsu period, Ronin no longer fought just with katanas or other melee weapons, having to adapt to the introduction of Western firearms by wielding pistols in addition to their more traditional weaponry.
The video also offers some details on the game’s bond system, which allows the player to adventure alongside various NPC characters. We also get a short look at the game’s counter system near the end of the episode.
Rise of the Ronin releases exclusively on the PlayStation 5 on March 22.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Team NINJA have released the fourth developer diary for open-world action adventure game Rise of the Ronin, titled “Rise as One.”
The first Rise of the Ronin review has been published in Japanese magazine Famitsu.
As an open world action-adventure game with a period Japanese setting, Rise of the Ronin has drawn a lot of comparisons with Ghost of Tsushima, and the more that we’ve seen of the upcoming Team Ninja game, the more prominent the similarities between the two games have become. It’s no surprise, then, that Sucker Punch’s 2020 samurai epic served as very direct inspiration for the Rise of the Ronin development team.
Ghost of Tsushima's success encouraged developers at Team Ninja to create the upcoming open-world game Rise of the Ronin.
With development starting way back in 2015, Team Ninja’s action RPG Rise of the Ronin is finally slated to hit the PlayStation 5 on March 22. Just over a week from launch, a new one-minute trailer has been released, blending live-action sequences with the title’s impressive animation.

Team Ninja has become synonymous with best-in-class action gameplay. From Ninja Gaiden to Nioh 2, the fundamental act of swinging a sword or spear (or any number of deadly weapons) is reliably complex and satisfying, often with a challenging-yet-rewarding learning curve.
Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have dropped a new behind-the-scenes video for Rise of the Ronin, which launches in the coming weeks exclusively for PS5. It discusses the impact of player choice and how their overall direction can mimic that of a ronin. Check it out below.
