PS5-Exclusive Action Game Rise Of The Ronin Drops To $30 For Black Friday

Rise of the Ronin, the latest action-RPG from Team Ninja, is available for only $30 at Amazon and Walmart. The $40 discount is part of Walmart’s Black Friday Sale, and Amazon, as it usually does, is matching the offer. But heads up: Amazon is estimating orders placed now to arrive in… February 2025. So, yeah, you might want to buy it at Walmart instead.

Rise of the Ronin is a fast-paced action game set during a pivotal moment in Japanese history. As an outside agent, you’ll run into real-life historical figures, occasionally battle them, and help influence Japan as it enters a new era. Like other Team Ninja games, Rise of the Ronin has Souls-like combat, but it’s surprisingly approachable and rewarding when you master the way of the blade and several other weapons.

“It’s not without some flaws, but I finished Rise of the Ronin with much more left to do, and even after 50 hours, I want to head back in to see what I’d missed and attempt to change history,” Phil Hornshaw wrote in GameSpot’s Rise of the Ronin review. “The parts of the game that work more than balance out its weaker elements. And while it took a while to find the rhythm of Rise of the Ronin’s combat, its speed, complexity, and intensity make for some phenomenal fights that always feel great to win. Rise of the Ronin is a game that might take a bit to get good, but the commitment is worth it.”

Rise of the Ronin is one of several 2024 PlayStation exclusives on sale for great prices during Black Friday.
