Rise of the Ronin Crushes Nioh at Launch: Koei Tecmo Confirms

One month after its official launch exclusively on PlayStation 5, Rise of The Ronin, the result of collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja, seems to have been a great success. According to Koei Tecmo themselves, their new game set in the late Edo period has even outperformed their previous Nioh at launch.


Rise of the Ronin: The Launch Reception and Success

Koei Tecmo informs us that their new Rise of the Ronin has surpassed launch sales, according to the publisher, exceeding both Nioh titles. This new title, like Nioh, was entrusted to Team Ninja. Koei Tecmo is satisfied with Rise of the Ronin’s initial sales, but does not comment on the exact figures the game has reached. This is quite interesting considering Nioh and Nioh 2 sold 75 thousand and 95 thousand copies respectively during the first week.

We are still in the game’s first month, and it is not impossible for Rise of the Ronin to approach the ideal number of copies sold that Koei Tecmo hoped for the title. In terms of reception, the Metascore points to a 76, a solid rating where many are enthusiastic about the story, the good combat system not too difficult, and a very well-crafted setting. Although the open-world structure may be a bit ambitious for some.


What is Rise of the Ronin and the PC Version

Rise for the Ronin is an action RPG created by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo, released exclusively on PlayStation 5 so far. Announced during the State of Play livestream in 2022 and finally released on March 22, 2024. Set in the final years of the Edo period, in the mid-19th century during the feuds of various local lords for the Tokugawa Shogunate. We will play as the Blade Twins and their involvement in one of these conflicts, after they lost their family due to one of the attacks ordered by the Shogunate. Trained by Blacksmith, the two will embark on a mission with the intent of ending the Tokugawa Shogunate.

A third-person action RPG that offers a freely explorable world, where many choices we make will influence the story. We will have at our disposal the classic arsenal of katanas, swords, spears, greatswords, odachis, dual swords, but also ranged weapons such as bows, shurikens, and firearms like pistols, rifles, and bayonets. All seasoned with various missions and even a co-op mode. For now, Rise of the Ronin remains a PlayStation exclusive on PS5, but considering the announced success, it is not unlikely that Koei Tecmo will also release Rise of the Ronin on PC, much like what happened with Nioh.
