Rise of the Ronin ‘Weapon / Style’ trailers

For Team Ninja veterans and newcomers alike, Rise of the Ronin offers a deep and satisfying combat system, set to the backdrop of the Bakumatsu era of Japan. With the game now less than a day away, I spoke to Rise of the Ronin’s Producer, Yosuke Hayashi, and Game Producer and Director, Fumihiko Yasuda, who offered their tips for players joining the Veiled Edge tomorrow.

Rise of the Ronin has gotten a high score from Famitsu. The upcoming action-RPG from Team Ninja nearly reached the maximum score in Famitsu, backing Rise of the Ronin as one of the year's most anticipated releases.

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.”

Team Ninja has released a new behind-the-scenes video for Rise of the Ronin, potentially the last before the game’s release this week. It sees Team Ninja president and director Fumihiko Yasuda discussing how many of the details envisioned seven years ago have made it into the final product.

Rise of the Ronin is set to release soon, but it’s already facing some bad press.

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.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Team NINJA have released the launch trailer for open-world action adventure game Rise of the Ronin, which is dubbed “The Aftermath.”

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.

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.

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.
