Today Koei Tecmo announced that Rise of the Ronin is going to expand on a new platform, and that’s PC via Steam.
The game developers by Team Ninja was originally released exclusively on PS5 (and published in the West by Sony itself) in March 2024. Now it’ll launch on Steam almost a year later, on March 10, 2025.
The game is an action RPG with a historical scenario set in Japan’s Bakumatsu era (specifically in 1863) as the country hangs in the balance between the traditionalist Shoogunate and the forces pushing toward modernization.
It’s up to the players to decide which side to take and your decisions will influence the story’s route and outcome.
