Rise of the Ronin PC Port Mirrors PS5 Version Without Enhancements

Team NINJA's ambitious soulslike action RPG has finally made its way to PC after twelve months. Despite receiving performance patches following its initial launch, the developer hasn't announced any planned DLC expansions.

The critical question remains: Does the PC edition introduce anything noteworthy for returning players?

Technical Issues Persist in Barebones PC Release

Disappointingly, the PC iteration offers zero additional content over the original release. While it does provide expanded graphics customization options, reports indicate persistent optimization problems similar to the PlayStation version's launch struggles.

Prospective players should brace themselves for extensive settings adjustments before achieving stable performance.

Is Rise of the Ronin Worth Buying on PC?

Purchase Recommendation: Wait For Discounts

Our Game8 review awarded the PS5 version 80/100, praising its visual presentation, nuanced combat mechanics, and robust character customization. Since the PC port introduces no meaningful improvements, we advise waiting for promotional pricing - especially if you're drawn to its unique feudal Japan setting with firearms.

The absence of any DLC announcements since launch suggests players shouldn't expect future content expansions.
