This March sees the release of the blockbuster "Rise of the Ronin" for PS5. New gameplay clips released today offer a glimpse at the various weapons and styles that players will have to contend with.
"Rise of the Ronin" is set in late 19th-century Japan, a time of great change and conflict. Players take on the role of a ronin who must forge their own path in a world on the brink of war, during a period marked by major social and political upheavals, including the fall of the feudal system and the rise of a centralized military government. As a result, many samurai lost their lords and were forced to become ronin.
Weapons play a central role in the game and are available in all sorts of variations. These include the bayonet, dual swords, longsword, naginata, odachi, spear, and sword. Each has its own unique characteristics regarding combos, counters, throws, and more, as the following clips demonstrate.
“Rise of the Ronan” will be released on March 22, 2024.

Seriously, one of the new features I would have liked to see in the Ghost of Tushima DLC instead of horse armor, or Sucker Punch could take inspiration from it for the second part.
