Rise of the Ronin PC Port: No New Features from PS5 Version

After a full year since its initial release, Team NINJA's ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC. However, aside from performance patches in the months following its launch, there has been no news on additional DLC or new content.

So, what does the PC version offer to those who have already experienced the game on PlayStation?

Unoptimized PC Port Lacking New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not introduce any new content beyond what was available in the original release. On the positive side, players can now adjust the game's graphics settings to their liking.

However, reports indicate that the game's optimization still falls short, similar to its initial PlayStation release. This means players may need to spend time tweaking various settings to achieve a smooth gaming experience.

Is the Rise of the Ronin PC Port Worth It?

At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version an impressive score of 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, detailed combat system, and excellent character creator. Since the PC version mirrors the original release without any new content, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're keen on experiencing a "samurai with guns" game.

Moreover, it's likely that Rise of the Ronin won't receive any new content, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced plans for additional DLC since the game's launch.
