Rise of the Ronin Features 3 Major Cities, Karma and XP Systems Revealed
19.12.2023 - 12:36 / gamingbolt.com / Koei Tecmo / Team Ninja / Fumihiko Yasuda / Sony
The first quarter of 2024 kicks off in style, with titles like Koei Tecmo’s Rise of the Ronin for PS5. Developed by Team Ninja of Nioh fame, it’s the studio’s most ambitious project to date, and thanks to a new preview by Game Informer, we get a better idea of its scale.
Rise of the Ronin is set in 19th century Japan during the Bakumatsu and offers three cities to explore – Yokohama, Edo (later known as Tokyo) and Kyoto. Players can also explore surrounding rural areas and the countryside where bandits and other enemies reside. It’s also where the horse comes into play, though the glider is also ideal for quickly traversing the city and dropping down on targets from above.
Like Nioh, there are several weapon styles, with parrying especially important. You can use katanas, polearms, pistols and rifles, and even the grappling hook, which can throw objects at enemies (like explosive barrels). Interestingly, Rise of the Ronin does feature a system where players lose experience and must retrieve it.
Game director Fumihiko Yasuda called it Karma, which represents people’s destiny carried into the next life. There is more “traditional” XP retained upon dying, but it will be detailed later.
Rise of the Ronin launches on March 22nd, 2024, for PS5. It’s available now to pre-order. Check out the most recent gameplay trailer here.

Chatting With the HyperX Arena About MMOs, Games Journalism, And More
This is a weird post, but it's a slow news week — we had the chance to chat with the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas about covering MMOs, the industry at large, as well as show how bad Bradford actually is in game. Also, estuaries come up way too frequently for a show about video games.

Rock around the Christmas tree with Dracula Cha Cha and Christmas Pain In Christmas Town
I'm going to toss out two more of my RPS Christmas traditions together because frankly it's the last workday of the year and I'm in a tizzy. I trust you will pace yourself and enjoy these traditions responsibily, like a Cadbury selection box. Or slam right through them, that's fine too. After playing Skeal got your toe tapping to the beat and your heart pounding with power and pleasure, you're ready to trash Christmas with a catchy tune in Dracula Cha Cha. And after Skeal also prepped you for pain, oh, here we go: it's Christmas Pain In Christmas Town.

The Art of River City Girls gives us a close look at the series’ many abs
I am very happy that the River City/Kunio-Kun/Nekketsu/Downtown series has continued to this day. River City Ransom was a formative game for my modern tastes. River City Girls, as a game, I don’t love as much. Its art style and soundtrack, on the other hand, I dig with both hands.
