Game news Rise of the Ronin PS5 draws inspiration from the greatest action games and takes a stab at Sony’s state of play

Rise of the Ronin: A big gameplay sequence for the PS5 exclusive

Rise of the Ronin, along with Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, is probably the most anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive in early 2024. The first, unlike the second, took advantage of PlayStation’s State of Play to showcase its open world and its gameplay. The trailer, which is close to four minutes long, features gameplay sequences recorded directly on the PS5. First of all, he recalls that the game takes place in the second half of the 18th century, shortly before the Meiji era. The protagonist travels around Yokohama, one of the country’s first ports to open to the world, using the many tools at his disposal: A grappling hook to reach the ceiling, a sort of glider (called an avicula in English) to hover in the air, or even the more classic steed.. Less flashy but still just as effective.

Of course, Rise of the Ronin isn’t just an exploration game. In line with previous Team Ninja games (notably Nioh, Wu Kong: Fallen Dynasty most recently), combat seems ubiquitous in their new product. Fumihiko Yasuda, director of Team Ninja, explains that the player will be able to take on different combat poses depending on the opponents they face. It is also his arsenal that will evolve and not be limited to the traditional long swords of the samurai..

In combat, a variety of weapons may be used, including Japanese swords and long spears, as well as imported handguns.

A variety of play styles that will be governed by the hero’s relationship with Igashichi. He is an inventor who can provide all kinds of equipment, such as a flamethrower.

A ronin whose relationships will influence the story

The traits mentioned above, in addition to the ubiquitous pairings in Rise of the Ronin, suggest many comparisons to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. However, Team Ninja’s next game seems to differentiate itself from FromSoftware by focusing on the main character and his relationships:

The bond you form with the characters living in the Bakumatsu era will greatly influence how the story unfolds and ends.

Then we can recall that in Rise of the Ronin, the player takes on the role of a Ronin: a samurai who no longer has a master. The last part of the trailer shows several environments that the player will go through in the game. Snowy battlefields, harbors under fireworks or even castles in the countryside. Reading the comments below the video, many players are already eager to get their hands on the game. Many people believe that Rise of the Ronin represents the amalgamation of many excellent games… and they are tempted!
