In Rise of the Ronin, fans will play as a ronin in 1863 Japan in turmoil. With Japan’s fate now in their hands, players will encounter various historical figures and factions with differing ideologies, and make significant decisions such as whether to confront or defend them. Players will also be able to form special relationships with some characters thanks to the “Veiled Vow” system, which will allow them to freely shape their own experience of the Bakumatsu period.
Throughout this epic journey, players will explore the mixed cultural landscapes of Edo, Yokohama and Kyoto. The changing scenery is reflected with each season that passes. For example, cherry blossom trees bloom in the spring, and leaves turn red in the autumn. Furthermore, players can use a grappling rope to climb onto rooftops or a glider to soar through the skies, giving them the opportunity to immortalise their favourite views using photo mode.Rise of the Ronin will put players’ skills to the test with an accessible yet deep combat system in which they will need to adapt their strategy and weapons against their enemies. To overcome the obstacles awaiting them, fans will wield a variety of melee and ranged weapons, while being able to customise them to adapt their combat style to the possibilities offered by the game.

- 8K resolution support
