Rise of the Ronin is slated to launch next year on March 22, and is billed as Team Ninja’s “biggest game to date.”
“As a title, Rise of the Ronin features a historical setting quintessential to Koei Tecmo, while brimming with Team Ninja’s own brand of action and combat,” Team Ninja president Fumihiko Yasuda writes on thePlayStation Blog. “Throughout creating our biggest game to date, we have been working alongside the team at SIE to create an experience that allows players to fully embody a Roninduring the closing days of the Tokugawa Shogunate.”
Rise of the Ronin takes place near the end of the 19th century, then, with key historical figureheads like Ryoma Sakamoto and Shoin Yoshida dragging Japan towards a more modern culture. We’ll interact with these characters in the new game, as it’s our choices that’ll affect how Rise of the Ronin’s story plays out, and how Japan is shaped.
There’s also a Digital Deluxe Edition that’s been revealed for Rise of the Ronin alongside the trailer and release date. You can see the full contents just below, including a special warrior armor set, formal attire, a ninja’s staff and paired swords, digital soundtrack, and digital artbook. Pre-order bonuses for any edition come with four unique fighting abilities, an armor set, and a katana.
