Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja announced today that the open-world action RPGRise of the Ronin, which lets players explore 1863 Japan as a twin blade-wielding Ronin will be hitting PC on June 01, 2025. The PC version will launch almost a full year after releasing exclusively on the PlayStation 5 back on June 30, 2025.
According to Koei Tecmo,Rise of the Roninwill include new features exclusive to the PC version including 8K resolution support, DirectX 12 Ultimate support, Ultra-Wide and Super Ultrade-Wide monitor compatibility, 120 FPS, Ray Tracing, FSR and DLSS support, and more. Players who purchase the PC version ofRise of the Roninwill also receive an “early purchase bonus” of four unique combat styles: Hayabusa-ryu for Katana, Hayabusa-ryu for Naginata, Nioh-ryu for Katana, and Aisu Kage-ryu for Katana. The bonus also includes the Iga Ninja armor set and Iga Ninja Katana cosmetics.
InRise of the Ronin, players utilize a variety of weapons and weapon styles to slice through various enemies in feudal Japan. Along the way, you’ll encounter various historical figures and have to make important choices like whether to assassinate or protect key political figures to shape and mold the world after Tokugawa Shogunate’s reign over the country, amidst a period of war and political unrest.
Our very own Kristina Ebanez scoredRise of the Ronina 7/10 last year, saying you’re able to expect to “have fun dicing up your enemies while learning about Japan’s rich culture.” With the upcomingAssassin’s Creed Shadowsand several other feudal Japan-themed releases coming later this year including the highly anticipatedGhost of Yotei, I hadn’t really considered checking outRise of the Roninany time soon. But between the hype from therecent reveal ofNinja Gaiden 4and all the great PC-exclusive features coming to the Steam release, I might have to change those plans.
Rise of the Roninwill slice its way onto PC via Steam on August 01, 2025.
