Sony Interactive Entertainment Korea (SIEK) confirmed to the media that the PS5 exclusive open-world action-adventure game “Rise of The Ronin” (Rise of The Ronin), which will be released in March, will not be officially released in South Korea.
In fact, “Rise of Ronin” has passed the classification review in South Korea, but it has been temporarily blocked more than a month before its release. Therefore, the game cannot be found on the PS Store in South Korea and cannot be pre-ordered. SIEK did not explain the reason.
Korean media RULIWEB reported that the key is that the key figure of the Meiji Restoration “Yoshida Shoin” appears in the game. In history, Yoshida Shoin is a famous sect who respects the king and defeats the emperor. He is also a famous Japanese thinker and advocate of the Meiji Restoration. But at the same time, he There are also thoughts of national expansion.
The ideas he proposed included opening up Ezo (today’s northeastern Japan and Hokkaido), capturing Ryukyu (today’s Okinawa), and “taking over Manchuria to force Russia, and (merging) Korea to peek at the Qing Dynasty, and taking Nanzhou to attack India.” These ideas left by Yoshida Shoin became the cornerstone of the Japanese right wing, that is, the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” advocated by Japan’s militarism and expansionism.
So you can imagine that this figure is definitely not popular in South Korea, which was once invaded by Japan.
Returning to “Rise of Ronin”, in this game, players will play the role of unknown ronin during the Tokugawa period and communicate with historical figures. Players can meet Sakamoto Ryoma or Yoshida Shoin and others, and choose to interact with them. If they stand together or against them, this will have a major impact on the flow and ending of the story. As for the outcome of standing with Yoshida Shoin, it is up to the players to reveal it.
“Rise of Ronin” is developed by Team Ninja, a subsidiary of Koei Tecmo, and will be launched exclusively on PS5 on March 22.
