Sony is not particularly pleased with how Rise of the Ronin performed in terms of sales. This title had a good reception from critics, but players were not so interested. Team Ninja’s exclusive PlayStation game offers an open-world experience set in feudal Japan, which is undergoing a profound cultural transformation.
In a recent interview, the producers of the title discussed their approach to this genre and how this experience will be useful for future projects. There is a lot of room for improvement. The producer, Yosuke Hayashi, discussed the game’s conception nearly eight years ago.

1 Historical Vermin Problem was the Simple Reason Behind Rise of the Ronin’s Most Popular Characters
As with any other title, collectibles are always something very interesting for players. This mechanic encourages players to thoroughly explore the game in order to acquire all the collectibles. Cats are the collectibles for the recently released Rise of the Ronin.
This will help you to complete all regions of the map, make a bond with the residents of that particular place, and unlock some kind of service with the felines. One of the game’s developers has clarified the reasons behind this, giving a lot more details about how it works and why cats were chosen.

There were a lot of hopes resting on the shoulders of Rise of the Ronin, Team Ninja’s RPG set in 19th-century Japan, but it didn’t turn out to be the authentic Japanese masterpiece that it seemed like before release. After the success that PlayStation enjoyed because of Ghost of Tsushima, it felt like all of the required foundations were laid out for Sony’s next Japanese outing.
Still, it’s not like Rise of the Ronin is a bad game since most of the reviews are generally favorable, but according to reports, the game may not have been the hit that Team Ninja’s parent company, Koei Tecmo, was looking forward to.

Rise of the Ronin, the PlayStation 5 exclusive title from Team Ninja, has been out for a while now and has received “generally favorable” reviews as per Metacritic. The game has been praised for its smooth and thrilling combat, beautiful open-world design, Bakumatsu-inspired setting, and more.
The game features incredible storytelling and gameplay that has really impressed players, and the developers at Team Ninja have abandoned realism at times to get that. Although it may have caused issues, the developers have done it in the best ways possible so that players don’t even notice.

Rise of the Ronin, Team Ninja’s latest game, has been a sleeper hit among the masses. Despite being overshadowed by other high-profile games released around the same time (namely Dragon’s Dogma 2), it’s managed to make a cozy name for itself as an enjoyable action title.
During a recent interview, the producer and director of the game shared some valuable information on the inspiration behind the title, as well as other aspects that are worth a read.

The PlayStation 5 exclusive, Rise of the Ronin, launched last month and has received mostly positive reviews from both gamers and critics. The game takes players to 19th-century Japan amidst the Boshin War and has been praised for its open world, fine-tuned combat, and more.
Rise of the Ronin also features several real-life historical figures of the 19th century that players come across during their playthrough and can interact with them as well. This has led to one unintentional crossover with one popular Sega game that is quite different from Team Ninja’s.

It is only a few days before Rise of the Ronin finally releases, but many members of the gaming community are wondering whether or not it will rival PlayStation’s Ghost of Tsushima, which was released back in 2020 and took the world by storm.
Now the developers have chosen to comment on the similarities between Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of the Ronin, as they detail how similar the games are to each other and how Ghost of Tsushima was an inspiration for Rise of the Ronin.

Rise of the Ronin is the first open-world project for Team Ninja, as they greatly deviate from their signature linear and narrative-focused structure of story-telling after being inspired by previous soulslike titles that went the same route. Another game that possesses great similarities is Ghost of Tsushima, though it is far more user-friendly than the likes of Elden Ring or Bloodborne.
Change is inevitable, every major company is like surfers riding the waves of opportunity and growth. Developers need to adapt to stay relevant, changing things up is a sign of productivity and players don’t always want the same thing. Rise of the Ronin is a challenge that Team Ninja gave themselves as a studio and the first step in a brand new direction.

Rise of the Ronin is PlayStation’s latest exclusive title for the PlayStation 5 that Team Ninja develops, and the release is just right around the corner. The game will take the players back to the Bakumatsu period when the developers saw it fit their vision of telling an open-world samurai game and players have full agency over their character.
Decision-based games are always exciting, getting to see the results or the consequences after one choice can have a lasting impact on the story. However, the developers mean to honor history so the choices each Ronin makes will have little to no impact on the general outcome of the story. It is intriguing to see what the team has cooked up as players take on the role of a ronin.

Rise of the Ronin will allow the players to side with any faction they prefer.

The Nioh 2 team intend for the game to be challenging, but they are incorporating smart ways to balance the difficulty level.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi clarifies that the studio currently has no plans to introduce an easy mode for Nioh 2.
"I'm not against easy modes at all," says Hayashi, "When you look at Nioh and its priority, the concept is the tension of samurai combat so it didn't quite work. It's all about the authenticity of the combat, so not this time - but I'm not against it."
While that may sound like a shut down that could potentially upset those who want to see such games become more accommodating to players of various skill levels, Hayashi elaborates on the team's approach by explaining that, to the team, balancing difficulty in Nioh 2 is more about offering gameplay options.

Team Ninja's ceased support for Dead Or Alive 5 - but five years since the last, there's no sign of a sequel...
Team Ninja used the Dead or Alive 5 Battle Royal 2017 Grand Finals as a chance to say goodbye to the Dead or Alive franchise as it stands and hello to their ideas for the future of the fighting series.
See related Ridley Scott interview: Blade Runner 2049, Alien and more
It was Yosuke Hayashi, Team Ninja Brand Manager, who stated that "Dead or Alive 5 has finally come to an end, but the Dead or Alive team is very active." That message is a little bit vague, but it seems to suggest that Team Ninja is going to stop releasing content updates and fixes for Dead or Alive 5 and will begin working on a new entry to the franchise.

It’s official: Koei Tecmo’s upcoming action RPG Nioh will receive a free PvP mode shortly after launch.
Word comes by way of Gamereactor (via NeoGAF), who spoke with Game Director Yosuke Hayashi in anticipation of Nioh‘s launch in early February. Hayashi-san’s comments were translated through Google, hence the broken English, but the developer does confirm that the multiplayer mode will be made available “in the near future.”
“We plan to offer for free a player-to-player mode in the near future after the launch of Nioh. There is also a seasonal pass available to book on PlayStation Store which will add three large DLCs that will be launched shortly after the game’s exit.”
Gameplay-wise, Nioh evokes comparisons to From Software’s genre-defining Dark Souls series, though early previews suggest that Koei Tecmo’s action RPG is much more than a hackneyed clone. There are also certain...

Dead or Alive has always been a bit controversial, and I truly wish it didn’t have to be that way. I mean, I can understand purist, function-over-form indie-obsessives crying foul over the series’ blatantly indulgent ways, but that doesn’t have to mean a healthy interest or even love for the series is invalid. Unfortunately, it seems that the upcoming patch and subsequent character addition for Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate will do little to quell the cries of naysayers. The updates feature new outfits and the Lolita-inspired Marie Rose, respectively – Lolita, if you didn’t know, is a word defined as “a sexually precocious young girl.” Pretty much par for the course with DoA.
The announcement of Marie Rose’s upcoming console appearance came via Team Ninja leader Yosuke Hayashi at the recent Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate tournament, at which he also revealed that the 1.04 patch will be gracing...
