After going through a fairly extensive character creation system for one blade and using a preset for our ally, we learn that our twin sheathed blades have undergone training all their lives for revenge on the Shogunate and when the first mission arrives, the pair find themselves incredibly overpowered. After the loss of a valuable ally, our lone protagonist continues their adventure in a surprisingly detailed open world in Rise of the Ronin.
Embark on an epic journey across war-torn 19th-century Japan in this combat-focused open-world action RPG from Team NINJA, the veteran studio behind Nioh and NINJA GAIDEN.
Japan, 1863. After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s oppressive rule, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation’s borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil. Amidst the chaos of war, disease and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.
