But, like all things with aspirations for long-term survival, the souls genre is changing. Elden Ring ushered in a new era of open-worldiness for FromSoft's signature style, and it seems that Team Ninja have taken that ball and ran with it, even cribbing elements from other, decidedly not-soulsy games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, The Witcher 3, and even Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
We're not saying Rise of the Ronin is going to be a cakewalk - on the contrary, it is patently going to be full of extremely challenging encounters - but we suspect its forays into the action RPG genre will convince a lot more people than usual to climb aboard. And they will get to enjoy Team Ninja's characteristic attention to detail, superbly rich combat, and sumptuous art direction.
