To understand the setting of Rise Of The Ronin, which takes place in 1863, you need to turn back the clock more than 250 years. In the 16th century, Japan was a very loose feudal monarchy.

If you're looking for another open-world samurai RPG before Assassin's Creed Shadows drops, Rise of the Ronin has now arrived on Steam.

Atsu, a female ronin in 1603, faces societal complexities Jin did not in feudal Japan. Atsu's quest for vengeance adds moral ambiguity and narrative complexity surpassing Jin's journey.
