PlayStation Insider Leaks Major Details and Release of PS5 Exclusive Rise of the Ronin

According to industry insider The Snitch, a major leak has revealed significant details and a release window for Rise of the Ronin, an upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive published by Sony and developed by Team Ninja, renowned for their work on games such as Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, and the recently released Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. The insider suggests that Rise of the Ronin, which was initially announced on September 13, 2022, will launch in Q1 2024, between January 1 and March 31.

The insider's leak describes Rise of the Ronin as a hybrid of Ghost of Tsushima, Dark Souls, and Assassin's Creed, featuring numerous side quests reminiscent of Ubisoft's signature side quests. The game is said to have a focus on collecting various items to delve deeper into the lore.

Additionally, the leak mentions the inclusion of difficulty options, skill and technique trees, performance and quality modes, and even romance options. The inclusion of romance options is noteworthy, as it deviates from the typical Ninja Gaiden games and was not apparent in the game's reveal trailer. However, the extent and depth of these romance options are yet to be revealed.

It is important to approach this information with skepticism and consider it as unconfirmed until official statements are made by Team Ninja or Sony. Thus far, there has been no response from either party regarding this leak.

Rise of Ronin is officially scheduled to release sometime in 2024 exclusively for the PlayStation 5. However, no specific release window within that year has been officially announced. Official details about the game are currently limited, with little information available beyond the provided game description:

"After three centuries of Shogunate rule, the Black Ships of the West descend upon Japan's borders, plunging the country into turmoil. As a masterless samurai, a Ronin, wield your blade and shape the course of history in this open-world action RPG for PlayStation 5."
