Rise of the Ronin PC Port: No New Content, Just Like the PS5 Version

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, which follows the soulslike genre, has made its way to PC a year after its initial release. Despite performance patches released in the months following its launch, there has been no mention of any new DLC or additional content.

So, what can players expect from the PC version if they've already experienced the game on PlayStation last year?

Unoptimized PC Port Lacking New Content

Sadly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original release. The only advantage is the ability to adjust graphics settings to your preference.

Moreover, the game's optimization remains a concern, mirroring issues seen in its PlayStation debut. Potential players will need to spend time tweaking settings to achieve a smooth gaming experience.

Is the PC Version of Rise of the Ronin Worth It?

Consider Waiting for a Sale; No New Content in Sight

At Game8, we gave the PlayStation 5 version an 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creation. However, since the PC port offers nothing new compared to the initial release, we suggest waiting for a price drop if you're eager to explore a "samurai with guns" gameplay experience.

It's also worth noting that there's no indication from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo of any upcoming DLC or new content for Rise of the Ronin.
