Rise of the Ronin – Announcement Trailer
Introducing Rise of the Ronin, Team Ninja’s new action RPG
The first details of the new action game set in a Japan at the beginning of a new era.
For us at Team Ninja it is a pleasure to present our latest action RPG where, as a ronin, you will embark on an epic limitless journey through Japan at the dawn of a new era. We started this project seven years ago. Since then, development has advanced calmly and freely, just like the spirit of a ronin. It is with great pleasure that we finally reveal this title and it is an honor to be able to announce it with PlayStation, which has been supporting us and this project for all these years.
Rise of the Ronin is a combat-focused open world action RPG set in an era of great change for Japan. We are at the end of the 300 years of the Edo period, a time known as “Bakumatsu”. It is the end of the 19th century, these are dark times for Japan which finds itself fighting against despotic governors and lethal diseases, while the influence of the West grows more and more and the civil war rages between the Tokugawa shogunate and the opposing factions.
Amidst these riots, you take on the role of a ronin, a warrior without an master who is free to make his own choices. Rise of the Ronin is the new Team Ninja game experience that will immerse you in a historical period in which not only katana and the like are fought, but also with modern firearms: the portrait of a truly unique era.
We at KOEI TECMO have already worked on story-based titles in the past. However, with Rise of the Ronin we wanted to do the great step. Using all the skills and knowledge gained over the years, we wanted to take the game to the next level by trying to portray one of the greatest revolutions in the history of Japan as deeply as possible, also including those obscure chapters that many would prefer to ignore. This is certainly the most ambitious and complex project that Team Ninja’s studio has ever worked on. We will therefore let our experience in creating games on samurai and ninja to guide us on this path.
In addition to the action elements, we will strive to create a multi-layered story to show the world during the Bakumatsu period and the revolution that took place in that era. The characters you meet will have their idea of justice and their motivations, it will be up to you to choose whether to be on their side or not … And every decision you make will have consequences. With new combat modes and a limitless open world, we can’t wait for you to immerse yourself in the game and experience the freedom of a ronin.
