Rise of the Ronin Trailer Highlights Traversal, Setting, and More

There's an undeniable buzz surrounding Rise of the Ronin, particularly with Team Ninja taking their first leap into the open-world genre. From what we've seen of this action RPG, its open-world vistas are brimming with promise, a sentiment further reinforced by Sony's latest trailer release.

The recent “World Vignette” trailer garners attention for its depiction of the innovative movement mechanics within Rise of the Ronin. Players will revel in the seamless transition from agile rooftop movements to gliding through the skies with the Avicula and then landing directly onto a horse for a swift ride.

The trailer also offers a closer look at the setting of the game, focusing on Bakumatsu Japan. It zeroes in on three pivotal city hubs that form the core of the game's expansive map: Edo, Kyoto, and Yokohama. Each city promises its own unique flavor and challenges.

Toward its conclusion, the trailer provides tantalizing hints at the variety of optional quests and activities available. With an emphasis on stealth tactics and engaging combat, players can expect to immerse themselves in an enriching side of content that complements the main narrative journey.
