Rise of the Rōnin 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. Combat features a wide array of weapons standard during the Boshin War, such as katanas and various Boshin war firearms. The game features story choices at crucial moments, allowing players to side with or fight against multiple non-player characters, affecting the story. Historic cities such as Yokohama, Kyoto, and Edo can be explored, as well as areas in the countryside. The player can traverse by various means, such as a horse, grappling hook, or glider. The game also features the ability to swap between three difficulties and a three-player cooperative multiplayer mode.
Rise of the Rōnin is set in Edo in the mid-19th century during Bakumatsu, the final years of the Edo period. The game depicts the Boshin War between the Tokugawa Shogunate and various anti-shogunate factions displeased with Western influence after the forced reopening of Japan following the Sakoku period.
Development on Rise of the Rōnin started in 2015, with PlayStation Studios' XDev assisting. 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 to their expertise due to their experience making games focused on ninjas and samurai, such as Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. According to Yasuda, Rise of the Rōnin is the most ambitious project Team Ninja has developed. Developing an open-world title has been challenging 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.
Rise of the Rōnin was announced on 13 September 2022 at PlayStation's State of Play livestream. On 7 December 2023, at The Game Awards 2023, a pre-order trailer was released, with a release date of 22 March 2024. 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 Japan's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization deemed excessive.
Rise of the Rōnin will not be released 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 vital role in the Meiji Restoration, he is also considered integral in what would lead Japan to conquer and occupy Korea. Sony later confirmed that the game would not be released in South Korea but did not provide an official reason.
Rise of the Ronin received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.
