Rise of the Ronin appeared at the 2024 Sony State of Play, with a new gameplay trailer showing off new weapon types and gameplay. The game was previously confirmed as releasing on March 22, 2024.
Rise of the Ronin is set during the Bakumatsu period of Japanese history when American gunboats forced a crisis that would result in the fall of the Shogunate and the return of political power to the Imperial family.
We also saw characters wearing the blue and white colors of the Shinsengumi, a political group active at the time. The trailer featured grappling hook and glider gameplay and stance-based combat with swords, spears, and guns. Later, a flamethrower, a saber, and a rifle with a bayonet were also shown.
