Rise of the Ronin - 15 NEW Things You Should Know Before You Purchase

Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin is the next big PS5 exclusive, launching on March 22nd. With seven years of development time behind it and a scale unlike anything the developer has done before, it's become one of the more hotly anticipated titles of the year.

Thankfully, Sony and Koei Tecmo aren't hiding just how impressive the open-world action RPG looks. From showcasing the locations and cities that players will visit to the sheer variety of weapons and ways to use them, there's a lot to delve into. There are even some mechanics which are a first for the developer, like switching characters mid-combat.

Check out some new details that you should know about Rise of the Ronin, including difficulty options, co-op confirmation and more.

I will play the shit out of Sekiro: Ghost of Assassins die twice❤️

I know it’s not the same developer but I’m hoping it’s similar to Ghost of Tsushima. That was an absolutely amazing game and surely a lot of us have been hoping for a sequel.

Thanks for the heads up on difficulty, i love tsushima and wolong but wolong i had to stop as it got too hard, as a story enjoyer knowing there is an easy mode has made the decision for me!

After being disappointed by the limitations of Yakuza Ishin, can’t wait to tear up Bakumatsu Japan with Team Ninja’s signature gameplay

[givemeverything]

Game seems really combat versatile with limits ways to attack I love that

[predetor]

Open world Nioh with Ninja Gaiden style combat. Hell yeah.

[SentientPotatoXIII]

Can't wait to see the character creation options.

[TheLookingsunset]

Bakumatsu? Long preordered my friends!

[nelieltu]

So weird we didn't get a demo yet considering Nioh and Wo long did for testing.

[Mixedbeats]

Old game but does anything combat wise to onimusha 3?

[Ar]

Just the guns and grappling hook make me excited for this game! I just hope it comes to PC in the next year or so!!

[rickypen]

Ive been SO excited for this game, and was still playing Nioh 2 when it was announced lol. But why in HOLY HELL would you release it the SAME day let alone around the same time, as Dragons Dogma!??

[skatemobster]

Can't wait to look for kitties like you do with the foxes in ghost.

[mrtexican]

I wish we were getting Nioh 3. But this looks fun too!

[onyxobsidian]

Yep is that dragon's dogma 2 over there?

[TylerThatSometimesComments]

This feels like Way of The Samurai and im here for it

[Ava_vee]

i'm just here for the story, im sure the gameplay won't be perfect but atleast decent. im more like a narrative focused player than gameplay focused, hope there will be normal difficulty setting. as a Yakuza and Ghost of tsushima nerd, i would probably enjoy this game!!!

[ken]

I was gunna get Dragons Dogma 2 first then eventually play this but now I think this may be first considering DD2 is looking like is having issues on console hittting a steady 30 fps 😢

[dannyrivera]

I really hope they don't force you to play co-op by making some trophies only earnable in co-op
