Discover more details about the story in Rise of the Ronin

Rise of the Ronin is the upcoming action-adventure game from the creators of Nioh. Team Ninja has made use of all its experience with action games to create a unique adventure set in the Bakumatsu, a specially convulse period in the story of Japan. The Tokugawa shogunate is coming to an end and Japan has opened its frontiers to foreign influences. This has caused political tensions between the different factions fighting for power but also many changes in the society and the ways of the war. In Rise of the Ronin, you take the role of a masterless warrior who will do whatever is needed to achieve his goals while trying to survive political turmoil.

In Rise of the Ronin, the arrival of the Black Ships from the West to Japan marks the beginning of a change that will spread like wildfire across the country.

Amidst them, you rise as a nameless warrior who will decide the fate of Japan with his actions.

In the game, you will meet a large cast of characters and it's up to you how to interact with them. Your actions will shape the story in Rise of the Ronin and determine if they become formidable enemies or priceless allies that may even help you in combat.
