Here's What We Know

The events of Rise of the Ronin will unfold at the end of the XIX century in Japan, which was in a severe crisis and was plunged into the chaos of civil war. The game will have the most down-to-earth plot without elements of mysticism and fantasy, it is completely fictional, but intertwined with real events from the history of the country.

The historical period shown in the game is called Bakumatsu and was caused by the arrival of Western colonisers in Japan.

The developers said that they paid special attention to the fact that the main elements of Rise of the Ronin as much as possible correspond to the realities of the time, for which the authors of the game turned to historical documents.

During the course of Rise of the Ronin players will meet real historical characters and decide who they will support and who they will fight against.
