The Game Awards was an electrifying and jam-packed display of upcoming video games. With a runtime of just over three-and-a-half hours, it’s easy to miss out on some of the night’s most important moments. One game that absolutely caught everyone’s attention was Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin, which debuted a thrilling new gameplay trailer showcasing intense battles and compelling characters. To top it off, the studio announced that it will be released on March 22 for PS5.
From thrilling action sequences to emotional storytelling, this new trailer has it all. The game seems to be set in 19th-century Edo Japan with a war torn backdrop. Featuring cameo appearances from historical figures like modernization advocate Ryoma Sakamoto and the intellectual Shoin Yoshida, it promises a rich and authentic experience.
A recent PlayStation Blog post by Team Ninja stated that Rise of the Ronin is its “greatest video game to date.” The game’s lead character, likely a ronin (masterless samurai), is seen navigating dark caverns, battling armored warriors, and performing katana takedowns. The game appears to blend elements of Ghost of Tsushima and Nioh in an open-world environment, promising an action-packed and gripping experience.
Delving into the game’s narrative foundations, Team Ninja’s director and president, Fumihiko Yasuda, shared details on the PlayStation Blog. According to Yasuda, the game is set during the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, providing a rich historical backdrop for the game’s story. As players navigate this turbulent period in Japanese history, they will have to make decisions that align with or rebel against the icons of the era.
With its rich historical setting and promise of intense battles, Rise of the Ronin is shaping up to be a truly epic gaming experience. For more information, you can read the full coverage here.
