The samurai epic, which tells a fictional story within a historical Japanese period of revolution, is one of the studio\u2019s most ambitious titles from both game design and story perspectives. We got the opportunity to sit down with producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Fumihiko Yasuda to probe into how Rise of the R\u014dnin got made.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">One aspect of the game that sets it apart from other Team Ninja titles is the monsters or demonic enemies that pervade its other games are nowhere to be seen in Rise of the R\u014dnin. Being set against a historical backdrop, R\u014dnin is limited just to human enemies of various fighting styles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"jlvid_container\"><iframe title=\"Rise of the Ronin - State of Play Sep 2022 Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0gwsQvDGh4o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">\u201cThis game is based in historical 19th century Japan,\u201d Yasuda explains, \u201cpartly because we wanted to emphasize the bond system and the bonds that the player forms with historical figures that appear in the game. And for that reason, there are no supernatural elements. We also wanted to emphasize the dynamic between two samurai dueling each other by looking at their opponent, assessing what weapons and combat style the opponent is using, and adjust accordingly.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">The bonds system Yasuda mentioned has the main character gain affinity with a number of real-life historical figures, like Ryoma Sakamoto, a hero of Japan&#8217;s Bakamatsu era in the late 1800s. Hayashi explains why that era was a good fit for their latest game thematically, as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">\u201cThe Bakumatsu period marked the end of the age of the samurai and the beginning of Japan&#8217;s modernization. Because of this, there were many ideals and value systems that were converging on at this moment in history. As our title focused on forming bonds with characters and making choices, we felt that this dynamic provided by this historical period was a good fit for the concept of the game.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<article data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"e6e58f62-b39d-4810-9215-0b0568e904b6\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"[]\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2024\/01\/31\/cb10c803\/ronin_04.jpg\" alt=\"rise of the ronin team ninja playstation 5 ps5 exclusive feudal japan\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">The name Ryoma Sakamoto is likely familiar to those with knowledge of Japanese history, but also maybe to those who played 2023\u2019s Like a Dragon: Ishin from Sega. That game also starred Ryoma Sakamoto during the same era, creating some unintentional crossover story between Team Ninja and RGG Studio\u2019s games. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">\u201cYeah, so the timing\u2026there was quite a bit of overlap,\u201d Hayashi says, laughing. \u201cBut you know, we saw that \u2013 but at the same time, we weren&#8217;t really surprised that Japanese developers would be releasing or remastering a game set in the same period as [Rise of the R\u014dnin]. It&#8217;s a very popular period in Japanese history.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">As Team Ninja\u2019s first real open-world game, Rise of the R\u014dnin had quite a bit to prove for the developer. Hayashi and Yasuda indicated that the ambition was worth any trade-off, as they saw making an open-world game as a challenge the studio had to eventually rise to meet as a natural step. Doing all this while retaining the core of the action gameplay from its linear titles was an important obstacle for Team Ninja to surmount.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<article data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"3d78707b-4408-4072-9d48-76c5b48b50fd\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"[]\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2024\/01\/31\/2c6801f4\/ronin_01.jpg\" alt=\"rise of the ronin team ninja playstation 5 ps5 exclusive feudal japan\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">Another challenge, Yasuda said, was making sure the cat animations in the game were accurate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">\u201cI&#8217;m also a fan of cats. I own a cat myself and there are other members within our team that own cats and we&#8217;ve spoken with other media who have enjoyed that aspect of the game. And, of course, we were very particular about the movements that you know about cats in the animations. I wouldn&#8217;t say it was too difficult, but maybe we got a little too obsessed with it,\u201d he admitted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">In a previous generation, Team Ninja found itself struggling with how to create action games for Japanese and Western audiences.

I think there is some cultural crossover there just like I feel there was some crossover with our titles.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">And if you\u2019re curious about what movies the pair recommend watching for your samurai fix?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">\u201c<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:italic\">Yojimbo<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\">,\u201d they both nodded, referring to the Akira Kurosawa classic about a R\u014dnin samurai being courted by two rival clans. \u201cRise of the R\u014dnin is really similar to it, actually.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Rise of the R\u014dnin\u2019s release, Team Ninja has added another strong action title into its vaunted portfolio.
