One of Sony's bets for this year has been Rise of the Ronin , a title distributed by PlayStation and developed by Team Ninja that takes us to feudal Japan in the 19th century. This game came out on March 22 and, almost a month after its launch, it is time to talk about how Koei Tecmo's open-world RPG sales have been , which has published a report aimed at investors and gives us a slight clue about this.

As reported by the media Video Games , Koei Tecmo has sent a document to investors where it reduces its financial forecasts for its latest released games. Although Rise of the Ronin is not specifically mentioned, we know that the PS5 exclusive expected to sell twice as much as Wo Long , that is about 5 million copies worldwide. Although no titles are mentioned, Team Ninja owners note that this revenue revision is due to recent game releases.

As expected, the report indicates that the latest titles released have not met initial launch expectations, among which is Rise of the Ronin. At least in Japan it is known that this title has surpassed Dragon's Dogma 2 in physical purchases, but it seems that in the West this has not been the case since many players would have preferred Capcom's fantasy RPG.

How much could Rise of the Ronin have sold? Specific sales are not known, but the data analysis company, Ampere Analysys, mentioned on its official website that there were just under 1 million players who had played the title. The company must confirm specific sales, but Koei Tecmo has more games that can explain this situation, such as Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty or Wild Hearts , a proposal similar to Monster Hunter published by EA that did not work very well because it would not receive more medium.

Net sales are reportedly down 11.6%, while operating income is down 28% heading into the next fiscal year, which ends at the end of March 2025. Which will help Koei Tecmo To alleviate this situation is that non-operating income has increased by 8.6%.
