The game's setting would also lend itself well to their expertise, due to their experience making games focused on ninja and samurai, such as Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. According to Team Ninja president Fumihiko Yasuda, they've wanted to create a game that depicts Japan in its darkest times, citing the Bakumatsu-period as an era video games would "shy away from". Development on the game started in 2015, with PlayStation Studios' XDev assisting. Rise of the Rōnin was formally announced on September 13, 2022, at a State of Play livestream hosted by Sony.

Set in Edo in the late 19th century during Bakumatsu, the final years of the Edo period, the game depicts the Boshin war between the Tokugawa Shogunate and various anti-shogunate factions displeased with the western influence after the reopening of Japan following the Sakoku period.

The game features story choices at key moments in the game, allowing players to side or fight against various non-player characters, affecting the story.

The combat features a wide array of weapons common during the Boshin war, such as katanas and various Boshin war firearms. Rise of the Rōnin lets players create a custom character. The game is scheduled for release in 2024. Rise of the Rōnin is an upcoming action-role playing video game developed by Team Ninja and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5.
