FORGE YOUR FATE IN THIS EPIC NEW SAMURAI ACTION ADVENTURE
Embark on an epic journey across war-torn 19th-century Japan in this combat-focused open-world action RPG from Team NINJA, the veteran studio behind Nioh and NINJA GAIDEN.

Japan, 1863. After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate's reign, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation's borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil. Amidst the chaos of war, disease and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.

Shape a dynamic story
As a masterless samurai - a Ronin - your destiny is your own. See the story unfold in different ways depending on the choices you make and the characters you ally with along the way. Face critical mission decisions, like whether to assassinate or protect key figures, and shape the course of history through a rich multi-choice system.

Explore an authentic world
The "Bakumatsu" period heralds the end of the Shogunate as a new era begins and East and West collide. Experience this cultural revolution across an open world where you'll meet the key figures who'll shape the course of history, and the ordinary citizens seeking a guiding light in the darkness.

Engage in deep accessible combat
From the veteran developers of Nioh and NINJA GAIDEN, Rise of the Ronin offers deeply engaging yet accessible combat with layers of complexity suitable for any playstyle. Face your foes with a selection of close-quarters weaponry or engage from afar with authentic period firearms.

EXPLORE THE HISTORY
Set in Japan's Bakumatsu Period, 300 years into the tyrannical rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, you'll take on the role of a nameless ronin carving their path through the war and political upheaval that defined the period.

Loyal hearts, steadfast resolve.
The pro-shogunate forces of the Bakumatsu era are supporters of Tokugawa, seeking to maintain its centralized rule and defend the shogunate against external pressures and internal threats to uphold the existing political order.

Silent no more.
The anti-shogunate forces are made up of diverse groups and individuals united by their opposition to the shogunate's rule and their desire to restore imperial authority in Japan.

The winds of change.
The Western forces of the Bakumatsu era consist of US and European powers who seek to open Japan to foreign trade, leading to the end of the country's long-standing isolationist policies and influencing its political and economic landscape.

EXPLORE YOKOHAMA
Yokohama, where Rise of the Ronin plays out, is an exotic melting pot of traditional elements and Western influences. Explore the map below for a taste of what lies in wait.

CREATE YOUR CHARACTER
Define your ronin's appearance and attributes with Team NINJA's most sophisticated character creation tool yet.

1. Character customization
Before your journey begins, you'll be able to customize your character. From their facial features, hair, and makeup to their body shape and voice, your warrior - your Veiled Edge - is yours to create. Note that as you progress through the story, you'll acquire new clothing and gear to customize their appearance further.

2. Character sharpening
Once you're happy with their look, choose a Blade Sharpening Origin to determine your ronin's base stats and proficiencies. Will they be a ruthless Killer, skilled in combat with the power to intimidate others? A silver-tongued Seducer with a knack for deception? Or maybe they'll be a humble Beginner - unrefined but brimming with potential.
