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

After a year of anticipation, Team NINJA’s latest action RPG soulslike, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC. While the game received performance patches shortly after its initial release, there has been no word on any additional DLC or new content.

So, what does the PC version offer for those who have already experienced the game on its initial launch?

Unoptimized PC Port Lacking New Content

Disappointingly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original release. On the positive side, players can adjust the graphics settings to their preference.

However, the game's performance remains unoptimized, similar to the issues faced during its PlayStation launch. Players may need to spend time tweaking various settings before enjoying a smooth gameplay experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin on PC Worth It?

Consider Waiting for a Sale, No New Content Expected

Game8 awarded the original PlayStation 5 version an impressive 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version mirrors the original release without any additions, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're eager to explore a "samurai with guns" themed game.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that Rise of the Ronin will receive any new content, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced plans for additional DLC since the game's launch.
