Previously, Team Ninja had delivered many great RPGs. Among them, the Nioh franchise is their most acclaimed title. Team Ninja games are renowned for their flawless implementation of the Soulslike formula (a genre spawned by FromSoftware games). However, there has been some speculation saying the new Ronin game to take a new path.
The Rise of Ronin is finally coming out!
While the studio is already catching the eye of the masses thanks to the release of their massively anticipated game based on the Chinese epic, ‘Journey to the West’ characters, called ‘Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’, Team Ninja is also attracting the attention of the community with the latest of their passion projects, ‘Rise of Ronin’.
According to the team, they are currently hoping to release the game by 2024, as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. From the insider reports and official announcements, some aspects of the game have been made available to the public. Other than the very much apparent details such as the game time period (19th century Japan, Edo era), it was revealed that…
RoR will be an Open world/RPG with a Deep/dark story focusing on “the most critical revolution in the history of Japan including the darkest and ugliest chapters that many will shy away from”. it was also revealed that the game would have heavy choice-based options. Every choice that the players will make will have a direct influence on the story.
Much like Witcher 3 from CD Projekt RED and Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2, Rise of Ronin will also have horses as the primary means of transportation. The open nature of the game is very apparent in the theming. Making a Rogue Ronin, who has no loyalties to anyone, gives complete freedom to the players to weave their own narratives.
