Rise of the Ronin Releases New Update

After a fairly positive launch for Rise of the Ronin, developer Team Ninja has been wasting no time in shipping patches and optimizing the game's overall experience, with the latest fixes coming bundled in two quickfire updates.

Another key change in this patch prevents the player's rifle from becoming unusable when doing certain weapon switching. These two fixes will also be reflected in the player's
