Rise of the Ronin New Trailer Focuses on Combat

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.

While Sony’s first-party studios take the time to cook up whatever their next wave of flagship releases will look like, PlayStation Studios is bringing exclusive titles from partner studios to plug the gaps, with next in line being Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty developer Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin. Ahead of the action RPG’s imminent release, Sony has released a part-live action launch trailer. Check it out below.

An alleged trailer for Spider-Man: The Great Web has leaked online - Spider-Man: The Great Web being a cancelled Insomniac Games comicbook adaptation with a focus on co-op multiplayer. I am not going to embed the footage because I’m not sure if doing so would cause screaming Spider-Lawyers to crash through my window – best of luck finding tall objects to swing from in darkest West Yorkshire, webheads! - but I will do you the great honour of describing the footage below.

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.

Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin received several new impressions and gameplay footage yesterday, outlining the beginning of the game and several aspects of the open world. You can check out our thoughts (and concerns) here, but it’s worth noting that the game has more to look forward to, especially with the combat.

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.

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.

The development of the Yuzu was permanently halted, but the popular Nintendo Switch emulator will continue to live on thanks to multiple projects that were recently launched.
