Sony has released a new trailer for Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin, which is viewable below.

The story trailer introduces several political factions battling for power in the combat-focused open-world RPG, which takes place in war-torn 19th-century Japan.

“After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s reign, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation’s borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil,” reads an official description of the PS5 exclusive, which will be released on March 22.

“Amidst the chaos of war, disease and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.”
