PS5's Rise of the Ronin drops March 2024

Dec 08, 2023 3:05 AM

Team Ninja, the powerhouse developer behind titles like Nioh and Wo Long, has announced the release date for its much-anticipated PS5 console exclusive, Rise of the Ronin. Fans of action RPGs can mark their calendars for March 22, 2024, when they'll have the chance to dive into this combat-focused epic, set in the tumultuous final days of Japan's Edo Period. Rise of the Ronin promises an open-world experience filled with vertical exploration, including the use of paragliders and grappling hooks to navigate a faithfully recreated feudal Japan. Despite the excitement, there's no information on a potential release for other platforms, drawing parallels to Team Ninja's past releases which have primarily been exclusive to PlayStation and later arrived on PC, leaving Xbox owners waiting. Rise of the Ronin features thematic darkness and immersive storytelling, hallmarks of the developer's portfolio, inviting players to take on the role of a Ronin seeking to carve out their destiny in an evolving Japan.

Will Rise of the Ronin be available on platforms other than PS5, like Xbox or PC?

Currently, there is no official word on whether Rise of the Ronin will be released on platforms other than the PS5. However, based on Team Ninja's history with game releases like Nioh, a PC release could be possible later on, but an Xbox release seems unlikely.

Team Ninja's penchant for crafting deeply atmospheric worlds is evident with Rise of the Ronin's Edo backdrop—this one's a definite calendar highlight for PS5 owners in 2024. If history repeats itself, PC gamers might just need to hold out for a port, but Xbox folks could be in for a longer wait, if they're in luck at all.
