Rise of the Ronin Sales are “Surpassing” the Nioh Series, Says Koei Tecmo

Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin launched to generally favorable reviews last month, though some were less positive than others (check out ours here). Nevertheless, in its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2024, Koei Tecmo reports that sales are surpassing its Nioh series.

The open-world action RPG also has a “high valuation” by players and is considered a “significant step towards mid to long-term growth.” Though it didn’t provide any sales figures, it noted elsewhere in the report that the sales start “goes beyond the Nioh series (Nioh and Nioh 2).”

It’s worth noting that Nioh sold over one million units worldwide within 17 days of its launch, while Nioh 2 crossed the same milestone roughly two months after launch. The franchise as a whole shipped over seven million units as of October 2022.

Of course, both Nioh titles launched as exclusives for the PS4, while Rise of the Ronin is exclusive to the PS5. The latter has a higher price point, which could mean higher overall dollar sales. Stay tuned for more details regarding its sales numbers in the coming months.
