Rise of the Ronin is an open-world action game by Team Ninja, initially released exclusively for PlayStation 5.
Rise of the Ronin is described as a “combat focused open-world action RPG” that takes place in Japan during the end of the 300-year long Edo Period, commonly known as Bakumatsu.
“Set in the late 19th century, Japan is facing the darkest of times as it struggles with its oppressive rulers and deadly diseases while western influence permeates as civil war continues to rage between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Anti-Shogunate factions,” the game’s synopsis reads.
