What are the different possible outcomes in Rise of the Ronin?

The answer is affirmative, although the number of decisions may not be as high as one would expect. Rise of the Ronin offers regular opportunities for players to make choices, but these primarily influence personal aspects of the game such as allies and missions. For example, opting to spare the life of a bandit chief early on may lead to their reappearance later on and potentially becoming an ally. Additionally, there is a faction system in place which enables players to align themselves with either the Shogunate or against it, unlocking specific missions for each faction.

Despite this, the general plot of Rise of the Ronin remains unchanged as it loosely follows real historical events. In the end, the game only offers two possible alternate endings.

Calculating Your Final Result

Near the game’s conclusion, you will have the option to either kill or spare your “Blade Twin.”This decision will ultimately determine which ending you receive.

Can I see the alternate ending without replaying the entire game?

This mechanic, known as “Soul Testimony,”in Rise of the Ronin, allows players to replay any mission and alter their choices to see the different outcomes. This feature also applies to the mission that determines the final ending.

So, with that, some of the enigma surrounding RotR’s plot and conclusions has been revealed.

The game Rise of the Ronin is compatible with PS5.
