Team Ninja has revealed that their upcoming PS5 exclusive, Rise of the Ronin, will feature connections to their previous games, Nioh and Ninja Gaiden. The game will include Ryu Hayabusa's iconic costume and techniques from Ninja Gaiden, and William Adams from Nioh will appear as a hidden boss. The studio aimed to integrate these elements to surprise and delight fans of their earlier titles.
The protagonist of Nioh, William Adams, makes a cameo appearance as the "Blue-Eyed Samurai" in Rise of the Ronin, offering players a sub-boss encounter and the chance to obtain the Nioh-ryu combat style. To find him, players must head to the Shiba Prefecture in Edo and engage in a battle reminiscent of Nioh's combat mechanics. Defeating him rewards players with Yasuke-themed armor and the Nioh-ryu combat style, which is effective against most enemy weapon types in Rise of the Ronin.
Rise of the Ronin, an upcoming PS5-exclusive action RPG by Team Ninja, draws inspiration from Nioh and other ARPGs, featuring a sophisticated combat system reminiscent of Bushido Blade. Set in Japan during the Bakumatsu period, the game offers an open-world map with diverse locations and emphasizes building relationships with NPCs to learn new combat styles. With a focus on rhythm-driven fighting and a broader narrative scope, Rise of the Ronin aims to deliver a rich and challenging gaming experience when it releases on March 22.
