Some media outlets stated that Rise of the Ronin was cancelled in South Korea, but Sony is insisting that is not the case, and that it was never planned for release for that location.

To my surprise, Sony players and Sony related media are also being critical of RotR in comparison to last year's Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and before that critically acclaimed Nioh franchise. Hopefully Team NINJA was showing an older build of the game at the last showcase in order to appeal to a very demanding base.
Hayashi states that in order to excel in his type of position that being a gamer is critical in his latest interview.

Don't forget to check out Fate Samurai Remnant DLC 1; I attest that it's an incredibly fun game.
Favorite this site to keep in touch with Koei Tecmo's financials. We'll have a business report of our own to define what's going on in the coming months. We are looking forward to seeing and discussing financials for RotR.

Yeah, still not gonna pay for it full-price. I'd LIKE to have it on Xbox, if need be, but these BTS videos aren't exactly getting me hyped. "Hey, look. We actually went looking for shit that's already in our backyard and posting videos about it." with two talking heads and a few gameplay shots. (Visually, at least.) Add to that the fact KT have posted fuck all about this game, and you have a recipe for disaster. The NG fanboy in me knows that they could do better than this.

You know, it's strange to me that Ronin hasn't had a single beta test/demo etc of any sort when usually modern TN games have at least 1-2 betas before release.
If I was in Team NINJA’s shoes I would be shaking.
Ronin failing would not be good for their morale. Sony would think less of them, the soulslike would have to take a backseat and it would be seven years of dev time down the toilet.
Let’s face it: the reception wasn’t good for the last trailer. Lots of negativity with the visuals and we know how that can hold onto these so called critics and how desperate Sony is to have 9s for all their theatrical timed exclusives on Metacritic.

Sony’s typical response as proven with the Microsoft ABK deal is that if a game doesn’t do well financially or with reviews that they will just flat out say it’s not good.
They lose confidence in other people’s work easily and based off what I can tell they are not spending the marketing dollars on this project as they did other games or even Nioh 2.
It’ll be interesting to see how it does.
Rise of the Ronin will feature Nioh 2's famous character creation mode, PvE Cooperative and three difficulties. This will be the third game in a row where the character creation mode is utilized. Team NINJA's character creation mode is great, so I think it was well spent money on the part of KT.

I'm not feeling optimistic. They've learned nothing, and I'm pissed. Worse, chances are they'll try to cut their losses and keep Xbox off the table unless our government intervenes or we keep losing money as Xbox fans.

Sony has a stake in Koei Tecmo yet they think releasing Ronin to go up against Dragon's Dogma 2 on one platform the same day is a good business strategy.
Koei Tecmo! OPEN YOUR EYES!

I don't understand why some people have beef with Wo Long; it's a fantastic game.
Koei Tecmo is heavily involved with breaking ground for video game museum that uses cutting edge technology to educate people on the history of our hobby.
Japan breaks ground on world's first museum for video game art
The museum will showcase various elements of video games as art, including overall visuals, character designs and soundtracks

Short-Interest increase within Koei Tecmo:
It's because they only believe in DOA supremacy and expects KT/TN to only make "DOA" games, when in reality it's a gaming company that's suppose to make games in general which people are in disbelief that such a thing exists. It's blasphemous. Every other game/IP made by TN, or working with 3rd party companies that isn't DOA (or somewhat NG), is pretty much "this is not my TN, how can they betray us like this". With many factors in play including DOA bias and having their DOA experience be the spear runner to altering outside DOA experience to not try anything else due to bad habits.
Just because Square Enix's flagship series is Final Fantasy does not mean they have to throw Nier and Dragon Quest under the bus for trying something new.
For me I thought Wo Long was "alright" so I personally felt Nioh was a better game (imo), maybe Ronin can change it up. However i'm still boggled that people are surprised with TN working on another action game called Ronin and in development back-to-back for said action games. It's a gaming company. It makes sense that they make other games. The only exception for genuine concern is Ninja Gaiden. We haven't seen a new one in a decade so it's long overdue, however DOA needs time to recollect on what to do next with the series. Hopefully not too long obviously.
