[Interview with the development team of "Rise of Ronin": an open-world masterpiece born out of "Nioh"] Koei Tecmo's new work "Rise of Ronin" will be launched on PS5 on March 22 next year. The development team (Yosuke Hayashi and Fumihiko Yasuda) recently accepted Following interviews with media such as Famitsu and Gameinformer, the following is a summary of the key points:
1. Preparations for this game began before the release of the first generation of "Nioh". It was fully developed after its release, but the team was small at that time.
2. Originally an internal project of the company, the relationship gradually heated up with the cooperation with SIE (responsible for the overseas distribution of "Nioh").
3. This game is an open world action game created based on the experience of "Nioh" + the Bakumatsu background.
4. There are three main stages: Edo, Kyoto and Yokohama, and of course there are other secondary locations.
5. The game has a strong historical flavor, and you will meet many historical celebrities in the game. The story originates from history but has been adapted and created, similar to "Wolong".
6. "Hidden Sword": A small team composed of two people who received special training is also the key to the plot of this game.
7. Therefore, there are two protagonists in the game, and both of them can change their faces freely.
8. The game does not add too many fantasy elements like "Nioh".
9. In the game, new plots or new elements can be unlocked based on the depth of "karma" with others. This game will have a main plot, but which people you have close friendships with determine different branch plots.
10. Key plot points require players to make their own choices, such as executing or sparing the target.
11. There are many types of weapons. Because the background is an era when Eastern and Western cultures blended together, you can hold a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. The same goes for dressing up. You can wear traditional clothes with leather shoes.
12. The "hook and rope" can move three-dimensionally to explore the city in all directions, and can also be used in battle.
13. The aerodynamic device "Abi Machine-ryu" is based on a design drawing of a Bakumatsu inventor.
14. This game has fewer fantasy elements, and its action is closer to the original "Nioh" (not "Ninja Dragon" type). It also requires (failure) to fully understand the target before defeating the enemy, that is, it is sufficiently challenging (with a death penalty).
15. It supports up to 3 people online and is a cooperative gameplay based on tasks.
16. It is currently in the final development stage and is working on improving the quality of details and fixing bugs.
17. There are no plans to launch a trial version for the time being. The focus of this game is the story, so it is recommended to enjoy it from the beginning.
