Rise of the Ronin PC Port: No New Content Added

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has made its way to PC after a year since its initial release. Despite receiving performance patches post-launch, the game has not seen any new downloadable content (DLC) or significant updates.

For those who have already experienced the game on PlayStation, you might be wondering if the PC version brings anything new to the table.

PC Port Struggles: No New Features and Performance Issues

Sadly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any additional content beyond what was available in the original PS5 release. However, PC players do have the advantage of adjusting graphics settings to their preference.

On the downside, the port has been criticized for its lack of optimization, similar to the issues faced during its PS5 launch. Players may need to spend time tweaking various settings to achieve a smooth gaming experience.

Hold Off Until a Sale, and Don't Expect New Content

Game8 gave the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its captivating visuals, intricate combat mechanics, and robust character creation system. Given that the PC version mirrors the PS5 release without any new content, it's advisable to wait for a discount if you're eager to dive into this unique "samurai with guns" experience.

Moreover, with no announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo regarding future DLC, it's unlikely that new content will be added to Rise of the Ronin anytime soon.
