Rise of the Ronin has several difficulty options that players can choose from, with each one impacting the way the game plays. So, here’s what you need to know about them ahead of the game’s launch.
Rise of the Ronin is one of the most eagerly anticipated games of 2024. The PS5 exclusive aims to capture the bloody turmoil of the Bakumatsu period, a time when Japan was thrown into turmoil following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate and the introduction of Western powers.
With the game being produced by Team Ninja, the devs behind Nioh and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, players can certainly expect a challenge. So, if you’re looking to pre-order Rise of the Ronin or just want to know how hard the game is, then our difficulty settings guide has you covered.
All Rise of the Ronin difficulty settings
Rise of the Ronin features three difficulty options.
Rise of the Ronin includes three difficulty modes: easy, normal, and hard. These are referred to in-game as Dawn, Dusk, and Twilight. It’s important to note that Rise of the Ronin’s difficulty settings can be changed at any time.
So, if you’re struggling to beat any of the game’s enemies or simply want more of a challenge, then you can adjust it on the fly. The three difficulty modes can be found below:
- Dawn difficulty (easy): Dawn difficulty is Rise of the Ronin’s easy mode. You should pick this setting if you want to just enjoy the story. Picking this difficulty will unlock additional settings, including the option to increase Health recovery from Medicine, and reduce Ki loss from attacks.
- Dusk difficulty (normal): Dusk difficulty is Rise of the Ronin’s answer to normal mode. It’s unclear whether players will receive increased Health and Ki recovery, but we imagine this will offer the most balanced experience. As a result, Dusk difficulty will likely be a good option for those who want their skill to be tested, but without having to play perfectly.
