From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_the_R%C5%8Dnin):
Rise of the Rōnin[b] is a 2024 action-role playing video game developed by Koei Tecmo's Team Ninja and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game was released for the PlayStation 5 on 22 March 2024. Upon release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.
Rise of the Rōnin allows players to create a custom character.[1] Combat features a wide array of weapons common during the Boshin war, such as katanas and various Boshin war firearms.[2] The game features story choices at key moments, allowing players to side with or fight against various non-player characters, affecting the story.[3] Historic cities Yokohama, Kyoto and Edo can be explored, as well as areas in the countryside. The player can traverse with various means, such as a horse, grappling hook or glider.[4] The game also features the ability to swap between three difficulties, as well as a three player cooperative multiplayer mode.[5]
Development on Rise of the Rōnin started in 2015, with PlayStation Studios' XDev assisting.[8] According to Team Ninja president Fumihiko Yasuda, they wanted to create a game that depicts Japan in its darkest times, citing the Bakumatsu-period as an era video games would "shy away from". The game's setting would also lend itself well to their expertise, due to their experience making games focused on ninja and samurai, such as Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. According to Yasuda, Rise of the Rōnin is the most ambitious project Team Ninja has developed.[3][2] Developing an open world title has been a particular challenge for Team Ninja, as they only developed linear, level-based games until now. Yasuda cited creating passive non-player characters as "impactful" and "challenging", as in their previous titles everything on-screen was for the player to defeat.[4]
Rise of the Rōnin was announced on 13 September 2022, at PlayStation's State of Play livestream.[3][6][2] On 7 December 2023, at The Game Awards 2023, a pre-order trailer was released, with a release date of 22 March 2024.[9] Pre-orders opened in Japan on 14 December 2023, revealing that the game would be sold in two versions, Cero D and Cero Z, due to the violence deemed to be excessive by the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization of Japan.[10]
Rise of the Rōnin will not release in South Korea. Early reports indicated that this is due to comments by Fumihiko Yasuda comparing Shoin Yoshida to Socrates, which sparked controversy in South Korea. Although Yoshida played a key role in the Meiji Restoration, he is also considered an integral person in what would lead Japan to conquer and occupy Korea. Sony later confirmed that the game would not release in South Korea, but did not provide an official reason.[11]
Rise of the Rōnin received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[12]
