Rise of the Ronin: a big gameplay sequence for the PS5 exclusivity

Rise of the Ronin, with Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, is probably the most anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive at the start of 2024. The first, unlike the second, took advantage of PlayStation’s State of Play to show off its open world and its gameplay. The trailer, which is close to four minutes, illustrates gameplay sequences directly recorded on PS5. First of all, it recalls that the game takes place in the second part of the 18th century, shortly before the Meiji era. The protagonist walks around Yokohama, one of the country’s first ports to open to the world, using many tools at his disposal: a grappling hook to reach the roofs, a kind of glider (called Avicula in English) to wander in the air or even a 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 (Nioh in particular, Wu Kong: Fallen Dynasty recently), combat seems to be omnipresent in their new production. Fumihiko Yasuda, director at Team Ninja, explains that the player will be able to take different combat poses depending on the opponents he encounters. It is also his arsenal that he will evolve and will not be limited only to the traditional long swords of the samurai.

In combat, a variety of weapons, including imported handguns, may be used in addition to Japanese swords and long spears.

A variety of playing styles which will be driven by the relationship that the hero will have with Igashichi. He is an inventor who can provide all kinds of tools, such as a flamethrower.

A ronin whose relationships will influence the story

The features shown above, in addition to the omnipresent parrying in Rise of the Ronin, suggest many comparisons to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. However, Team Ninja’s next game seems to distinguish itself from FromSoftware’s by focusing on the main character and his relationships:

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

We can then recall that in Rise of the Ronin, the player plays a ronin: a samurai who no longer has a master. The last part of the trailer illustrates several environments that the player will travel through in the game. Snowy battlefields, ports under fireworks or even castles in rural countryside. Reading the comments below the video, many players are already eager to get their hands on the game. Many consider that Rise of the Ronin represents a mixture of several excellent games… and are seduced!

A little Sekiro, a little Nioh, a little Nioh Assassin’s Creed. All are excellent!

To test it, you still have to wait a little longer: Rise of the Ronin is expected exclusively on PlayStation 5 on March 22.
