There were a few surprises during yesterday’s State of Play broadcast from Sony, but one that’s perhaps the most startling is a new game being made in conjunction with Team Ninja. Rise of the Ronin focuses on a team of warriors fighting their way through enemies in mid- 1800’s Japan. They do so in a very visceral style, with a lot of stabling, slashing and shooting.
You can check out the trailer for the game below.
Sony’s description for the game is below:
“Rise of the Ronin is a combat focused open-world action RPG that takes place in Japan at a time of great change. It is the very end of a 300-year long Edo Period, commonly known as “Bakumatsu”. Set in the late 19th century, Japan is facing the darkest of times as it struggles with its oppressive rulers and deadly diseases while western influence permeates as civil war continues to rage between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Anti-Shogunate factions.
Here in this time of mayhem, you embody a Ronin character, a warrior bound to no master and free to make choices of its own. Rise of the Ronin is a new Team Ninja experience that will immerse you in an historically inspired world while bringing together its renowned combat action with Katanas and the likes, with new firearm weaponry that depicts the unique personality of its time period.”
As intriguing as it is, however, we won’t see it for some time. It’s not set to release on PlayStation 5 until sometime in 2024. Still, it should be amazing once it arrives!
