This is undoubtedly the most ambitious and challenging project for Team Ninja Studio to date. By harnessing all the skills and knowledge we’ve gained over the years we really wanted to take things to the next level by attempting to thoroughly portray the most critical revolution in the history of Japan including the darkest and ugliest chapters that many will shy away from. But with Rise of the Ronin, we set out to take the next big step. We at Koei Tecmo, have had many titles in the past that were based on history. Rise of the Ronin is a new Team Ninja experience that will immerse you in an historically inspired world while bringing together its renowned combat action with Katanas and the likes, with new firearm weaponry that depicts the unique personality of its time period.

Here in this time of mayhem, you embody a Ronin character, a warrior bound to no master and free to make choices of its own. Set in the late 19th century, Japan is facing the darkest of times as it struggles with its oppressive rulers and deadly diseases while western influence permeates as civil war continues to rage between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Anti-Shogunate factions.

It is the very end of a 300-year long Edo Period, commonly known as “Bakumatsu”. Rise of the Ronin is a combat focused open-world action RPG that takes place in Japan at a time of great change.
