Developer Team Ninja has landed a hit with Rise of the Ronin, with parent company Koei Tecmo touting that the game's 'sales are surpassing the Nioh series.' The action-RPG released last month as a PS5 exclusive.
Koei Tecmo added that Rise of the Ronin 'raised the level of our development, technology, and management' in a fiscal year 2023 financial report briefing. The company pointed out the game's high metascore as well as strong user feedback as notable highlights.
Before Nioh 2 launched in 2020, it was announced that Nioh had sold 3 million copies across PS4 and PC. Nioh 2 initially launched on PS4 before eventually arriving on PS5 about a year later in 2021--along with a remastered version of the first game that same year.
Even years later, Nioh 2 still stands out in the Souls-like space. Meanwhile, Rise of the Ronin goes in a bit of a new direction by Team Ninja in offering an open world in the game. There was some controversy about the action-RPG earlier this year, with Sony confirming Rise of the Ronin wouldn't come out in South Korea.
