Rise of the Ronin PC Port is No Different From PS5 Version

After a year of anticipation, Team NINJA has brought their latest action RPG soulslike, Rise of the Ronin, to PC. Despite regular performance updates post-launch, no new DLC or additional content has been announced.

So, does the PC version offer anything fresh for fans who've already experienced the initial release?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Unfortunately, the PC port of Rise of the Ronin does not introduce any new content compared to the original version. On the positive side, players can now adjust the graphics settings to their preference.

However, the game's optimization remains an issue, much like the initial PlayStation release. Players may need to spend time tweaking settings before diving into the gameplay.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Expect New Content

At Game8, we rated the PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version mirrors the original release without any new additions, we recommend holding off until it's on sale if you're interested in a "samurai with guns" experience.

Given the lack of announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about new DLC, it's reasonable to assume that no new content will be forthcoming.
