Recently, information has surfaced about the game's combat system and various weapons.  This quick guide will highlight both the weapons and combat styles that are currently available in Rise of the Ronin.

Weapons Available in Rise of the Ronin So Far

Rise of the Ronin has eight distinctive weapons, each with its own characteristics and advantages. From the trailers and gameplay videos posted on the PlayStation Japan YouTube account, we can see many weapons, starting from the swift and deadly Katana to the versatile Bayonet. Rise of the Ronin players will definitely have a diverse arsenal to choose from.

The gameplay shows how the single Sword offers fast-paced, close-quarters combat, while the Two Swords style allows for even greater speed and devastating combination attacks.

Players who prefer a more balanced approach can opt for the Naginata or Spear, offering both range and defense. The Otachi, a longer Katana variant, specializes in sweeping slashes and precise thrusts to the enemies. The Large Sword packs a powerful punch, however it has a bit slower movement. Bayonets combine slicing and shooting for versatile combos.

Ranged Combat Weapon Options in Rise of the Ronin

Rise of the Ronin also offers various selections of ranged weapons to spice up combat styles. Players can shoot bullets with the Rifle, snipe enemies with the Bow and Arrow, or use the Handgun for close encounters

Shurikens are also available in the game to enable stealthy takedowns, while the Fire Pipe unleashes flames for those who prefer a fiery approach. It works like a flamethrower.

To truly excel in Rise of the Ronin, players must master the three primary combat groups:
