Story - Become the Ronin

Set in the turbulent times of Bakumatsu - the final years of the Edo period - Rise of the Ronin tells a moving story of the Blade Twins. These highly trained warriors seek revenge for their family’s cruel death by joining the Boshin War - a conflict between the Tokugawa Shogunate and various anti-shogunate factions - as a part of the Veiled Edge resistance group.

Create your own character, a brave masterless samurai, and join the fight in Rise of the Ronin - the critically acclaimed, narrative-driven open-world action RPG we’ve all been waiting for. You can play it on your own or test out a cooperative multiplayer mode for up to three players, where they can join one game to explore the open world and complete main story missions together.
