Japan, 1863.
After three centuries of the Tokugawa shogunate's rule of violence, the Black Ships of the West cross the borders of the country, which subsequently sinks into chaos. Surrounded by war, plague and political unrest, a nameless warrior chooses his own path while holding the fate of Japan in his hands.

Guide a dynamic story
As a gentleless samurai - a ronin - only you determine your destiny. The story will develop differently before your eyes, depending on your choices and the characters you ally with. In missions, you often face a difficult choice thanks to a complex decision system – whether you want to murder or protect important figures, for example.

Plunge into complex but accessible battles
The experienced development team from Nioh and Ninja Gaiden offers players in Rise of the Ronin an exciting yet accessible battle system with different levels of complexity, so there is something for every style of play. Face your opponents with a selection of melee weapons or complete them from a distance with authentic historical firearms.
