Sadly, we are still a ways off from seeing the Samurai RPG spring to light, as made clear by the rather vague 2024 launch window that Team Ninja announced back in 2022. Question is, what is Rise of the Ronin, and why should you be keeping it in your peripheral vision as we move towards 2024?

Turns out, the Koei Tecmo division has another open-world action RPG up its sleeve, and according to game director Fumihiko Yasuda, it is “undoubtedly the most ambitious and challenging project” the studio has ever put up against the chopping block.

Rise of the Ronin is described as “the most ambitious and challenging project for Team Ninja Studio to date.” Stay tuned for more details on the title in the coming year.If you thought Team Ninja was preparing for some well-needed respite in light of the Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty launch , then you were sorely mistaken. While Koei Tecmo has had several history-based titles, it’s looking to harness “all the skills and knowledge we’ve gained over the years we really wanted to take things to the next level by attempting to thoroughly portray the most critical revolution in the history of Japan, including the darkest and ugliest chapters that many will shy away from.” Various characters will appear with their motivations, and it’s your choice to trust them (or not).Īlong with Katanas, you’ll have access to firearms and a grappling hook. As a Ronin, you have no master and can make your own choices. During the State of Play, it unveiled Rise of the Ronin, a PS5-exclusive action RPG set at the “dawn of a new era in Japan.” It’s out in 2024 – check out the first trailer below.Īccording to PlayStation Blog, the project first started seven years ago with development progressing “slowly and freely.” Set in late 19th century Japan during the end of the Edo period, it sees the Tokugawa Shogunate at war with the Anti-Shogunate forces.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty isn’t the only hack and slash title that Team Ninja has in development.
