As the developer is known, it’s another action RPG, this time set in 1863 Japan as civil war rages and western influence permeates. Scheduled for release in 2024 as a PS5 console exclusive, check out a first look at the gameplay in the trailer below. As Team Ninja director and president Fumihiko Yasuda writes on the PlayStation Blog, the game has been in development for seven years. “Rise of the Ronin is a new Team Ninja experience that will immerse you in a historically inspired world while bringing together its famous fighting action with Katanas and the like, with new firearms that reflect the unique personality of its era,” said Yasuda. . “Using all the skills and knowledge we’ve gained over the years, we really wanted to take things to the next level by trying to thoroughly depict the most critical revolution in Japanese history, including the darkest and ugliest chapters that many will avoid from. This is undoubtedly the most ambitious and challenging project for Team Ninja Studio to date. However, we will let our experience creating samurai and ninja action games guide us on this journey.” Yasuda promises that the game will have “new combat action” and “unbridled open gameplay” to allow players to immerse themselves as Ronin. Rise of the Ronin will follow Ninja Gaiden, Nioh and next year’s Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
