Sony and Koei Tecmo have announced that the release date for Rise of the Ronin is scheduled for March 22, 2024.

Additionally, a new gameplay trailer has been revealed, showing more action sequences that players can look out for when it comes out next year.

Here’s an overview of what to expect from the game:

Japan at the end of the 19th century was characterized by the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, a period of oppression and stagnation. It was a time when innovators like Ryoma Sakamoto and Shoin Yoshida sought to modernize the country. The game’s Ronin protagonist will find their destiny linked to these characters (some of whom you saw in the trailer) in several different ways.  Your choices will shape how your character algins or clashes with story characters and their factions.

You will explore the vast world of late-Edo period Japan by horse and glider, while battling foes using a wide range of weapons and equipment – melee weapons like swords and spears, as well as ranged weapons like firearms and thrown weapons. Also armed with a grappling rope and stealth tactics, you can expect the variety and freedom shown in our latest trailer.

Additionally, the game will be available for pre-orders starting on December 14 at the PlayStation Store. Players who pre-order any version of Rise of the Ronin will receive an early unlock of Iga Ninja’s Katana and Armour set and an early unlock of 4 Combat Styles to help you Forge Your Fate.

The standard edition of Rise of the Ronin for SGD 97.90 / MYR 299 / THB 2,290 / IDR 1,029,000.

The Digital Deluxe edition of Rise of the Ronin (SGD 109 / MYR 339 / THB 2,590 / IDR 1,179,000) will include the game, all the pre-order incentives, as well as Iga Ninja’s Staff, Toyokuni Paired Swords, Bando Warrior Armour set and Japanese Formal Wear set.
