KOEI TECMO’s epic action adventure, Rise of the Ronin, is now available on Steam

KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Team NINJA announced that their open-world action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, is now available digitally on Windows PC via Steam®. Originally released for PlayStation®5, the epic Bakumatsu era tale takes players on a historical journey where a masterless warrior, a ronin, must fight to forge their own destiny through the chaos of war and political unrest. The Steam® version supports various PC features, including ultra-wide monitor combability, 8K resolution, 120 fps, 3D audio, and more.

In Rise of the Ronin, fans will play as a ronin in 1863 Japan in turmoil. With Japan’s fate now in their hands, players will encounter various historical figures and factions with differing ideologies, and make significant decisions such as whether to confront or defend them. Players will also be able to form special relationships with some characters thanks to the “Veiled Vow” system, which will allow them to freely shape their own experience of the Bakumatsu period.

Throughout this epic journey, players will explore the mixed cultural landscapes of Edo, Yokohama, and Kyoto. The changing scenery is reflected with each passing season. For example, cherry blossom trees bloom in the spring, and leaves turn red in the autumn. Furthermore, players can use a grappling rope to climb onto rooftops or a glider to soar through the skies, allowing them to immortalise their favourite views using photo mode.

Rise of the Ronin will put players’ skills to the test with an accessible yet deep combat system in which they will need to adapt their strategy and weapons against their enemies. To overcome the obstacles awaiting them, fans will wield a variety of melee and ranged weapons, while being able to customise them to adapt their combat style to the possibilities offered by the game.
