Complete open world tasks, forge bonds, and claim your Rise of the Ronin platinum!
Team Ninja takes its first dive into the open world genre with Rise of the Ronin, and that means a large map to explore with lots of activities to complete for trophy hunters. The Japanese countryside is awash with map markers beckoning you to jump into its various objectives, and you'll need to spend time forging bonds with your companions as well.
Thankfully, due to the game's structure, you won't have to worry about any missable trophies. After you complete the game, you will still have access to the map for side quest cleanup, and you can replay story missions to make different choices using the Testament of the Soul.
