Throughout this night’s State Of Play livestream, Workforce Ninja introduced their subsequent recreation. Rise Of The Ronin is an open world recreation set in Japan within the wake of nation opening its borders to the West, with the trailer displaying hold gliding, horse driving, rooftop stealth, and fight involving each swords and weapons.
It is also known as a “console unique” for PlayStation, which suggests it’s going to in all probability come to PC.
Here is the announcement trailer:
On the time of writing, there’s little or no data obtainable about Rise Of The Ronin aside from what’s within the trailer above. I do actually like that trailer, although. There appears to be numerous selection within the fight, from stately clashing of samurai swords to bombastic grapple manouvers and swift transitions between blades and bullets.
The sweeping opening shot of the trailer does a very good job of displaying what’s attention-grabbing concerning the time interval, too, as a standard Japanese avenue offers strategy to extra fashionable buildings and US flags. The sport is about in 1863, ten years after Japan opened its borders for the primary time in 200 years, and shortly earlier than the top of the Edo interval in 1868.
Workforce Ninja aren’t any strangers to Japanese warriors, both, with a historical past that includes Ninja Gaiden video games and extra just lately Nioh 1 and a pair of. The latter two got here to PC after their preliminary console launch, and in his Nioh 2 overview Ed praised its “sensible fight and big depth.”
I will replace this story if we obtain official phrase of a PC launch, however for now it is aiming for a 2024 launch on PS5.
