Rise of the Ronin Review – Neo Edo Open World

Rise of the Ronin struggles to find its identity in ways that hinder what would otherwise be one of Team Ninja's finest works. A compelling story told against the backdrop of the 1850s Bakumatsu Period is instead overshadowed by a vapid and uninspired open-world setting and a narrative that rarely feels like the player has agency.

Rise of the Ronin – Is There a New Game+ or Any Post-Game Unlockables?

Rise of the Ronin is the latest joint from Team Ninja, and while it’s a large, challenging game, some might be wondering – what happens after I roll credits? Is there a New Game+ I can tackle? Are there are post-game features and content I can unlock? Don’t worry, we’re here to take some of the mystery out of Rise of the Ronin’s endgame… Note: The following article doesn’t touch on any Rise of the Ronin plot details, some may still consider talk of its postgame SPOILER territory. Is there a New Game+ mode? No, there isn’t. Rather than start […]

Rise of the Ronin – Are there Multiple Endings and How do You Unlock Them?

Rise of the Ronin is the latest joint from Team Ninja, and unlike some of their past efforts, the game is surprisingly story-heavy. There are also a number of moments when you’ll be presented with important decisions to make, which begs the question – are their multiple endings? And how does one unlock them all? Scroll on down for the full lowdown on how RotR's story works… Note: The following article contains SPOILERS for Rise of the Ronin. Are there multiple endings in Rise of the Ronin? The answer is yes, but not as many as you might think. While […]

Rise of the Ronin – Combat Tips for Slicing Up the Samurai Competition

Rise of the Ronin is the latest joint from Team Ninja, and like most of their games, challenging combat built around a number of unique systems is core to the game. Being successful in combat in Rise of the Ronin requires mastery of parries, stances, Ki, and more, which can be a bit mind boggling at first. But don’t worry too much as we have some tips that will have you slicing off heads in no time… Keep an eye on you and your opponent’s Ki They key to Rise of Ronin’s combat is, well, Ki. Both you and your […]

Dragon’s Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and More Exciting Games Coming Out in March

Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might overlook. February was a packed month, and the crush isn’t really letting up in March. Players can look forward to a number of heavy hitters and exclusives including the much-anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2, Rise of […]

Rise of the Ronin New Trailer Focuses on Combat

A new Rise of the Ronin trailer was shared today, focusing on the game's combat mechanics. The new Combat Vignette trailer, which can be watched below, showcases different weapon types, such as katana, spear, and bayonet, different fighting styles, ranged weapons, and the grappling hook, which will have plenty of uses other than traversing the game's open world. The Team NINJA DNA is evident in this new trailer, so hopefully, Rise of the Ronin will have the same combat depth as other games from the studio, such as the Nioh series and Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Unlike the […]

Rise of the Ronin to Feature PvE Co-Op Multiplayer, Character Creator, and Difficulty Selection

Despite being less than a month away from release, Rise of the Ronin developer Team NINJA still had to clarify whether a few key features would be included in the upcoming game. They just did so by adding a FAQ section to the game's product page on the PlayStation Store website. To begin with, Rise of the Ronin offers cooperative (PvE) multiplayer for up to four players. There is, however, no PvP combat. This is a change from previous Team Ninja games, such as the Nioh franchise and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, where multiplayer was supported for up to three […]

Rise of the Ronin Is the Culmination of Team NINJA’s Action Prowess; Companions Could Even Turn Against You

Team NINJA is back today with another Rise of the Ronin Behind The Scenes (BTS) video. The Japanese developer said the action system featured in their open world game is the culmination of their previous titles, which include the likes of Ninja Gaiden, Nioh, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to name a few. Action remains at the core of Rise of the Ronin. It is the culmination of our previous work on action games as Team NINJA. Team NINJA's action is known for its high speed and difficulty, we feel it's part of the player's expectations. Looking at the Bakumatsu […]

This PlayStation 5 exclusive open world game is, in the words of the studio itself, their biggest and most ambitious project to date. To unveil more ahead of the March 22 launch date, Team NINJA has shared a new developer diary. This is the first open world game made by the development […]
