Team Ninja has announced its next game, Rise of the Ronin, a PS5 console exclusive coming in 2024.
The debut trailer showed an open-world game set in Japan’s modernization period after the arrival of Commodore Perry. The protagonist, an unnamed Ronin, is seen traversing Japan, jumping from buildings and using gliders.
Set in the late Edo period of late 19th century Japan, Rise of the Ronin is set during a tumultuous time of civil war between the shogun and anti-shogunate forces. Players become Ronin, a warrior without a master who is free to make their own choices.
Players will be able to use both katanas and new weapons such as firearms which began to enter Japan during this time. The developers call this time “the darkest and ugliest chapters” in Japan’s history and hope to showcase this new era in the country.
Koei Tecmo also promises a “multi-layered story” that showcases the Bakumatsu period, and that each character the player meets will have their own “brand of justice and motivations.”
