Team Ninja has announced plans to add new missions and features to Rise of the Ronin.

In a PlayStation Blog post, Team Ninja game producer and director Fumihiko Yasuda revealed plans to release a significant update for the game this week.

It will include a handful of new Ally missions, a level sync selection feature and the addition of dojo training partners. Here’s a full rundown of what’s coming:

New and expanded content

• 5 new Ally Missions added.
• When replaying a world in Midnight, you can choose to have Public Order deteriorate again.
• Level sync selection feature added to missions from Testament of the Soul.
• Two new Set Bonuses added to Midnight difficulty.
• Addition of dojo training partners.
• Add Martial Skill type bonus and raise limit of target score.

Gameplay Improvements

• When equipped with the same weapon type on weapons 1 and 2, the number of styles can be expanded to a maximum of 6.
• Changed the specifications so that special equipment will be given even if the player does not confess.
• Changed the specifications so that greetings with characters after a breakup will return to normal over time.
• Adjusted to make it easier for asynchronous characters to be selected.

Released in March exclusively for PS5, Rise of the Ronin is an open-world action RPG that sees players embarking on a journey across war-torn 19th-century Japan.

VGC’s Rise of the Ronin review called it “a fine open world adventure that never elevates itself to greatness”.

Launch sales of the game are surpassing those of Team Ninja’s Nioh series, according to publisher Koei Tecmo.
