Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, which blends elements of a soulslike game, has now been released on PC a year after its initial launch. Apart from performance patches in the months following its release, there has been no news about additional DLC or new content.

So, does the PC version offer anything new for those who have already experienced the game on its original release?

Unfortunately, Rise of the Ronin's PC version does not include any additional content beyond what was available in the original release. However, players can now adjust the game's graphics settings to suit their preferences.

Despite this, the PC port has been reported to be unoptimized, much like its initial PlayStation release. Players may need to spend time tweaking multiple settings before they can enjoy a smooth gaming experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Expect New Content

At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version an impressive score of 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version mirrors the original release without any new content, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're interested in experiencing a "samurai with guns" style game.

Furthermore, it seems unlikely that Rise of the Ronin will receive any new content, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced plans for DLC since the game's launch.
