Rise of the Rōnin is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Team NINJA, the same studio behind Nioh and NINJA GAIDEN. It’s a PlayStation 5 exclusive, meaning you can only play it on that console.

The game is set in the late 19th century, specifically during the Bakumatsu period leading into the Boshin War. This era saw the decline of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the rise of pro-Westernization movements. Expect to encounter a Japan in flux, with traditional samurai culture clashing with the arrival of Western powers and firearms. So, if you’re a fan of samurai games, challenging action RPGs, or open-world exploration, Rise of the Rōnin might be a good fit for you.
