Rise of the Ronin Update 1.005 Patch Notes - Exciting Gameplay Changes

Rise of the Ronin Update

The game Rise of the Ronin just got a big update for PlayStation 5. This update adds a bunch of new stuff to the game that players have never seen before, like new missions and improvements to how the game plays. It also fixes some problems with the game, like bugs and issues with weapons and characters.

Rise of the Ronin is made by Team Ninja, the same folks who made games like Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. Since it came out, the company that owns Team Ninja, Koei Tecmo, has been really excited about it. They even say that right now, more people are buying Rise of the Ronin than the two Nioh games combined. To keep the game popular, Team Ninja has been putting out lots of updates, some to fix problems and some to add new stuff.

The latest update, version 1.05, was just announced on Team Ninja's Twitter. It adds five new missions where you can team up with allies, lets you adjust your level when using a special item called the Testament of the Soul, and gives you new bonuses if you're playing on the hardest difficulty. Plus, if you're replaying the game on that hardest difficulty, you can now choose to make things harder by resetting enemy camps and fighting bad guys again.
