If you own a PS5, it is sometimes possible to collect small gifts for free. And precisely, Sony is once again offering you this great opportunity.
After all, there’s no reason why PS5 players shouldn’t also benefit from small gifts as thanks for their loyalty. In this context, Sony once again wishes to make a generous gesture by offering some surprises on a highly anticipated game: Rise of the Ronin, an action-RPG which should delight fans of Japanese history and the last great days of the samurai.
Great gifts for PS5 users
While waiting for the release of Rise of the Ronin on PS5, scheduled for March 22, 2024, Sony is offering players a series of free avatars. This initiative allows players to personalize their profile and stand out within the community. In total, there are six avatars availableAnd each player can obtain them individually by logging into their PSN account on the official game page, then by going to the “Bakumatsu Era Factions” section. »
It’s important to note that each code generated appears to be unique, meaning players will need to follow this process for each PS5 avatar if they want to get them all. The avatars represent different factions, including Sabaku (pro-shogunate) with Naosuke II and Taka Murayama, Tobaku (anti-shogunate) with Ryoma Sakamoto and Kogoro Katrua, and Obei (western forces) with Commodore Matthew Perry and Rutherford Alcock.
Players can read a brief description of each character and claim a PS5 avatar on the game’s official page. Currently, Rise of the Ronin is available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store for 79.99 euros.
A game that promises to be exciting
The Bakumatsu period, which extends from approximately 1853 to 1867, is of great historical significance in Japanese history. It is indeed a very relevant choice for the future PS5 game. In 1853, the arrival of the Black Ships, commanded by American Commodore Matthew Perry, marked a major turning point. Perry forced Japan to open its ports to foreign trade, ending more than 200 years of isolation. The Bakumatsu period is frequently discussed in Japanese culture, whether in literature, cinema or video games. It symbolizes an era of conflict and transformation, marking the transition between two distinct eras.
Movie buffs may remember the film The Last Samurai, which was set slightly after this period and explored the issues. It is interesting to note that in the film, Captain Nathan Algren should have been French and called… Jules Brunet! In short, quite a story.
