Team Ninja is known for its action-packed titles filled with intense gameplay and lots of enemies to fight. Their next significant title is Rise of the Ronin, a game with a more historical approach narrative-wise. You’ll be set in a key part of Japan’s history, where internal struggles and external influences threaten to rip the land apart. You will play a Ronin, a Samurai without a master, who must travel the land and influence it in his own way to steer the nation to where you feel is best. Today, a special video highlighted their take on Japan and the beauty that lies within it.
As you’ll see in the video below, you can “traverse the landscape” in various ways, including having a flying machine on your back that can help you sail across cities and even across the water! If you want, you can even fly in the air and then seamlessly drop down onto a horse to travel on without missing a second. This will open up possibilities for you and likely will get you access to areas that you can’t get to on foot. So, you’ll want to take advantage of this ability and others that come along with it, such as a special grappling hook you can use to latch onto objects and pull you closer to them!
The more you play, the more you’ll get to “Experience Bakumatsu Japan” and its cities. You’ll get to travel to places like Edo, Kyoto, and Yokohama. Each place has not only an expansive city to enjoy but landscapes that surround them and spots to explore as well. Furthermore, thanks to the power of the PlayStation 5, you’ll see each location in stunning detail and with seamless transition. Don’t be afraid to just spend time there and absorb the beauty that lies within this ancient version of Japan.
But there’s more than just beauty to find in this land, for Rise of the Ronin gives you “freedom to roam” and partake in side quests as you go about your journey. For example, there will be the opportunity to find cats scattered throughout the landscape. Oh, and yes, you can pick them up and hold them. There are also shrines that you can go and pray at, people to interact with, mini-games to challenge yourself at, and more!
Plus, there will be plenty of enemies to battle when the game arrives on March 22nd!
Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Team NINJA have released a new “Story Vignette” trailer for open-world action adventure game Rise of the Ronin.
Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have a new trailer for Rise of the Ronin, showcasing the various characters and factions players will encounter on their journey. There are the Pro-Shogunate forces (Sabaku) dedicated to maintaining the current order; the Anti-Shogunate forces (Tobaku), who want to oust the foreigners; and the Western faction (Obei), led by US Navy commodore Matthew Perry, seeking trade.
The mid-19th century was a period of enforced change and upheaval in Japan, as the United States and the West took rather forceful measures to open the country up to trading and end a traditionally isolationist policy. The move would impact everyone in the country from the Shogun, through the clans, and the regular people. Not everyone was happy with the possibility of such change, with Rise of the Ronin featuring the Veiled Edge, a group of skilled blade wielders and assassins who will defy the Shogun.
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.
