PS5 Rise of the Ronin

Product detailed description

Rise of the Ronin is an action-adventure game from Sony Interactive Entertainment, released on March 22, 2024 for PS5.

The story is set in Japan in 1863 during the Bakumatsu period, when the country is in chaos after three centuries of rule by the Tokugawa Shogunate due to the arrival of black ships from the West. The player assumes the role of a ronin, a masterless samurai whose decisions and alliances influence the course of events and the fate of Japan.

The game offers a dynamic story where the player's decisions determine the course of events and relationships with other characters. The player can decide whether to kill or protect key characters, thus influencing the historical development of the story.

The combat system, developed by veterans on action games like Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, is deep but accessible, with the ability to use both melee and ranged weapons. Players can explore an open world inspired by the historical period, meeting key historical figures and ordinary people looking for a leader.

Rise of the Ronin leverages PlayStation 5 features such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a more intense combat experience, 3D surround sound for a more realistic perception of the world, and fast load times for smoother gameplay. The game presents a detailed recreation of 19th century Japan.
