In this game, players are in Japan during the late Tokugawa period, facing various challenges such as disease, political unrest, poverty, and unrest. They will experience the loneliness of being separated from their companions and embark on an adventure filled with encounters with various factions and historical figures.
The game not only focuses on visual effects, but also includes music. Inon Zur, the music composer of the well-known game “Star Sky”, participated in the soundtrack work, adding a unique atmosphere to the game.
The development team also discussed the creation process of landmarks and world composition in depth. Players will have the opportunity to explore territories ruled by bandits, challenge a variety of enemies, and explore the different challenges presented by cities such as Yokohama, Kyoto, and Edo. The next behind-the-scenes video will provide further insight into the game’s combat system.
Team Ninja previously shared new details about cities such as Yokohama, Kyoto and Edo in “Rise of Ronin” on the PlayStation Blog. Yokohama is the city that players explore for the first time, including the Yamashita area in the southeast and Motomachi in Chinatown. Edo is one of the important locations in the game, and places such as Asakusa and Nihonbashi are also worthy of exploration by players.
In addition, introductions to rope grabbing, horses and gliders were also announced, as well as how to use the Hidden Sword Flag.
grab rope
When you throw the grapple rope to the lock point, you can quickly ascend and traverse. It allows you to move to higher ground and can also be used to grab enemies during combat scenarios.
horses
When you blow the horse whistle, you can summon a horse. You’ll reach distant destinations faster and more efficiently than running. As the game progresses, you’ll acquire additional riding gear and more comprehensive high-performance horses.
glider
Once you acquire a glider, you can deploy it to glide through the air while falling from a high point. You can fly a long distance by maintaining a certain angle. Gliders also come in handy when sneaking into enemy territory from high altitudes without being detected.
Quickly shuttle between Tibetan sword flags
Fast travel points, or Hidden Sword Flags, are located around the world, allowing you to quickly travel from one unlocked Hidden Sword Flag to another instantly. These flags not only allow you to replenish consumables through contact, but also update your teammates and equipment during missions. It also serves as a portal for other players to participate in online multiplayer games.
Finally, “Rise of Ronin” is scheduled to be launched on the PS5 platform on March 22.
