The action-RPG heads back to Japan during 1863. Following the decline of the ruling Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan enters a period of oppression and stagnation. As a Ronin, players are tasked with helping to shape the future of Japan in the midst of the chaotic environment.
The trailer shown off at The Game Awards gave a glimpse at gameplay and seemed to reinforce the rumors that Team Ninja’s game had drawn inspiration from Assassin’s Creed and Ghost of Tsushima. Horses and gliders let players explore late-Edo Japan, while combat will involve melee weapons like swords and spears, and ranged weapons like firearms and thrown weapons.
