Despite launching almost a month ago on Steam, Koei Tecmo’s Rise of the Ronin continues to see issues. It released a patch on March 25th with Prioritize Graphics and FPS modes alongside adjustments to certain settings affecting performance, but players continued to complain.
Fortunately, another patch is on the way, going live on April 10th. Team Ninja says it’s “investigating reported issues” and that the forthcoming update should “fix or improve” some of them. It also apologized for the inconvenience caused. Which ongoing issues will be addressed remains to be seen, so stay tuned for detailed patch notes later this week.
Rise of the Ronin is available for PS5 and PC. Check out our review for the PC version here, which we criticized for its performance and other long-standing issues like bland quest design and poor writing.
Team Ninja hasn’t said anything about bringing the open-world action RPG to other platforms (like with Wild Hearts S), but director Fumihiko Yasuda is paying attention to the Switch 2. Head here for more details.
We are currently investigating reported issues for “Rise of the Ronin” Steam version.
Currently we are preparing a patch, which will be released 4/10 (Thu.), to fix or improve some of these issues.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences that you may have experienced.
