For fans of Team Ninja’s action games, the release of Rise of the Ronin has been highly anticipated. Naturally, players want to know if the game retains the co-op features that have been a hallmark of the studio’s previous titles. Fear not, as we have spent time with the game and can confirm that it delivers on this front.
Rise of the Ronin offers co-op multiplayer for up to four players, which can be accessed from the Longhouse in Miyozaki and later areas in the game. However, this spot is unlocked at a decent way through the main story, so players will have to play a substantial amount of the game first before inviting friends to join.
Once players access the Longhouse, they can select a multiplayer mission and team up to tackle the game’s objectives, including boss battles, across various locations in the game’s story. However, players should be aware that difficulty scales in the game, so if they’re at higher levels than their friends, they may be in for a significantly more challenging combat experience, particularly if their gear isn’t up to scratch.
Although Rise of the Ronin excels in multiplayer co-op, it doesn’t offer any PvP modes, making it only a PvE-focused game. Players won’t be able to fight against random players or challenge their friends to a duel. However, this feature may be incorporated into the game at a later stage. In the meantime, players can enjoy Rise of the Ronin’s immersive PvE experience.
