Rise of the Ronin takes place in 1863 Japan where, 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. With the fate of Japan now in the hands of a Ronin, players will encounter various historical figures, and the countless choices players make, like choosing whether to assassinate or protect key political figures, will evolve not only their destiny, but the multiple endings found in the game.

Throughout the experience, players will be able to customize weapons and styles to their liking in order to engage in the deep, accessible combat system. Various melee weapons include katana, spear, and odachi, with each weapon offering multiple styles. This leads to a variety of fighting strategy and tactics based on the types of enemies and enemy weapons confronting players. Long-ranged weapons such as guns and bows are also available depending on the situation.

Players will even be able to explore the mixed cultural landscapes of Edo, Yokohama, and Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period, with the stunning scenery actually changing with the seasons, showcasing such details as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. Additionally, a grappling rope can be used to climb onto rooftops while an Avicula glider can be used to soar through the air, giving players the ability to capture their favorite views using photo mode.
