Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Rise of the Ronin is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 6,300, supplied brand new and sealed as a PS5 physical disc in the Standard Edition. Rise of the Ronin was developed by Team Ninja, the Koei Tecmo studio behind Nioh, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, with its PS5 release on 22 March 2024. It is an open-world action RPG set in Japan in 1863, carrying an ESRB Mature rating. Collect your copy at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery.
Rise of the Ronin suits adult players who want sword combat with real depth and a story that bends to their decisions. You play a nameless masterless samurai during the Bakumatsu period, when Western Black Ships arrive and Japan slides into war, disease and political unrest. Your choices include whether to protect or assassinate key historical figures, so two playthroughs can end differently. For players unwinding after a long Thika Road commute, Rise of the Ronin's three difficulty levels let you pick between a forgiving evening session and a strict test of timing. Friends can join, up to three players online, for story missions.
Mascom International keeps physical PS5 discs on the shelf at our Kimathi Street store, so the sealed copy you inspect is the copy you take home. A disc copy of Rise of the Ronin also holds resale and lending value that a digital download never does, which matters to buyers stretching a gaming budget across several titles a year. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us they prefer seeing a sealed case before paying for a game. Walk in to inspect Rise of the Ronin, or order by WhatsApp and pay when the disc reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Rise of the Ronin
How much is Rise of the Ronin for PS5 in Kenya?
Rise of the Ronin costs KSh 6,300 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed as a PS5 physical disc. That price buys the Standard Edition, the full game with no add-on content. It also includes the 6-month disc warranty described below and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya, so you pay by M-Pesa or cash only once the case is in your hands. The Digital Deluxe extras, such as the art book and soundtrack, are digital items and are not part of this disc.
Is Rise of the Ronin worth buying on PS5 in Kenya?
Rise of the Ronin is worth buying if you want a long open-world samurai game with demanding combat and story choices that change outcomes. At KSh 6,300 for the disc, you get the full single-player campaign plus optional online co-op for up to three players. Once you finish, the disc can be resold or lent to a friend, which a digital licence cannot. Fans of Nioh will recognise the timing-based sword fighting, though Rise of the Ronin places it in an open world rather than separate stages.
Rise of the Ronin vs Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, which is better?
Rise of the Ronin suits players who want story co-op and branching choices, while Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut suits players who want a polished solo samurai story. Rise of the Ronin lets up to 3 players share its story missions online, against up to 4 players in the separate Legends mode of Ghost of Tsushima. Rise of the Ronin is also newer, released 22 March 2024 against 19 August 2021 for the Director's Cut. Pick Ghost of Tsushima for the Iki Island expansion, and Rise of the Ronin for 1863 history and parry-heavy combat.
Can I play Rise of the Ronin online co-op from Kenya?
Yes, Rise of the Ronin supports online co-op for up to 3 players from Kenya, as long as each player has an active PlayStation Plus membership. Co-op covers story missions only, and the game has no player-versus-player combat at all. A stable home line such as Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku keeps shared sessions steady through long missions. Online play is optional, so the whole campaign runs offline once the game is installed. Ask our team about PlayStation Store gift cards if you need to start or renew PS Plus.
Will the Rise of the Ronin disc work on a PS5 Digital Edition or PS4?
Rise of the Ronin plays on any PS5 that has a disc drive, including the original PS5 and the PS5 Slim Standard Edition. A PS5 Digital Edition or a PS5 Pro needs the separately sold PS5 Disc Drive attached before it can read this copy. The game was never released for PS4, so the disc will not run on any PS4 model. PlayStation also labels Rise of the Ronin as improved for PS5 Pro, so owners of that console get extra visual tuning once the latest update downloads.
Is Rise of the Ronin suitable for teenagers?
Rise of the Ronin is rated Mature by the ESRB, meaning 17 and over, and PEGI 18 in Europe, so it is made for adults. PEGI lists violence and gambling as the content behind that rating, and the story covers war and political killings. Parents shopping for a younger player should choose a PS5 title rated for their age, and our Nairobi CBD team can point out family-rated discs in stock. On a shared console, PS5 parental controls can also block games above a chosen age rating.
How hard is Rise of the Ronin for new players?
Rise of the Ronin gives new players more room than most demanding sword games, with three difficulty levels named Dawn, Dusk and Twilight. Those settings match easy, normal and hard, so you can learn on the gentler one first. Combat centres on a parry counter called Counterspark, which rewards reading an attack and timing your press. Players who want a stiffer test can move up to Twilight later. Choosing Dawn keeps the full story and open world, so nothing is cut for picking the easier route.
What happens to Rise of the Ronin during a KPLC power cut?
A sudden KPLC power cut stops Rise of the Ronin and can lose progress made since the game last saved, though the disc itself is not harmed. The bigger risk sits with the PS5, because losing power while saving or updating can corrupt data on the console's storage. A UPS from Mascom International gives you time to save and shut the console down properly when the grid drops. Backing up saves to PS Plus cloud storage adds a second copy of your progress.
Who should buy Rise of the Ronin, and who should skip it?
Rise of the Ronin is for adult PS5 owners who enjoy demanding sword combat, open-world exploration and history-driven stories shaped by choices. It also suits groups of up to three friends who want to clear story missions together online. Skip it if you are buying for someone under 17, if you want player-versus-player matches, or if you prefer short sessions with little to learn. Players after a calmer solo samurai story should look at Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, and our team can confirm which PS5 titles are on the shelf today.
Technical Specifications
Story and Open-World Setting
- Set in Japan in 1863, during the Bakumatsu period, as roughly three centuries of Tokugawa Shogunate rule begin breaking apart.
- You play a nameless ronin, so the hero's appearance and allegiances come from your own choices.
- Western Black Ships arrive early in the story, setting off war, disease and political unrest across the country.
- Choices include protecting or assassinating key historical figures, which changes how later scenes and relationships play out.
- The open world covers historic Yokohama, Edo and Kyoto, each with its own districts, factions and side activities.
- A glider and grappling hook let you cross rooftops and valleys quickly instead of walking every route.
Combat and Difficulty Options
- Counterspark is the central parry, turning a well-timed press against an enemy strike into an opening for attack.
- A Ki gauge governs stamina, so reckless swinging leaves you exposed while measured attacks keep you in control.
- Melee weapons include katana, dual swords and spears, letting you switch styles to match each opponent.
- Firearms and bows add ranged options, useful for thinning a group before closing in with a blade.
- Three difficulty levels, Dawn, Dusk and Twilight, correspond to easy, normal and hard for different skill levels.
Online Play and Co-op
- Online co-op supports up to 3 players, so two friends can join your story missions over the internet.
- Co-op is limited to story missions, while open-world exploration stays a single-player activity.
- There is no player-versus-player mode, so every online session stays cooperative rather than competitive.
- An active PlayStation Plus membership is required for each player who wants to play online.
- Online play is optional, so the full campaign can be finished offline once the game is installed.
PS5 Hardware Features
- DualSense vibration and adaptive trigger effects are supported, giving physical feedback through the controller during combat.
- Vibration and trigger effects can be switched off in accessibility settings for players who prefer a lighter feel.
- 3D audio positions sound around you on headphones, helping you hear attackers approaching from behind.
- Three graphics modes let you favour a smoother frame rate, a sharper image or ray-traced lighting.

- Remote Play is supported, so you can stream the game from your PS5 to another screen at home.
Console Compatibility and Disc Format
- Plays on any PS5 with a disc drive, including the original PS5 and the PS5 Slim Standard Edition.
- PS5 Digital Edition and PS5 Pro owners need the separately sold PS5 Disc Drive attached to read it.
- Never released for PS4, so the disc will not run on PS4 or PS4 Pro consoles.
- The game installs from the disc to console storage, so check you have free space before inserting it.
- Game updates download over the internet, so connect the console once to bring the copy up to date.
- The disc must stay in the drive while you play, because it acts as the licence for the installed game.
Languages and Accessibility
- Voice audio comes in English, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Spanish, so you can choose the performance you prefer.
- On-screen text covers 15 languages, including English, French, German, Russian, Turkish and Portuguese.
- Japanese voices with English subtitles suit players who want the 1863 setting to sound closer to its period.
- Mono audio is offered for players with hearing in one ear or a single-speaker setup.
- Difficulty settings double as an accessibility tool, lowering combat pressure while keeping the full story intact.
Edition and Rating Details
- Standard Edition contains the full base game, without Digital Deluxe items such as the art book or soundtrack.
- Rated Mature by the ESRB, the North American rating for players aged 17 and over.
- Rated PEGI 18 in Europe, with violence and gambling listed as the content descriptors.
- Released on PS5 on 22 March 2024, so every later patch is ready to download on first connection.
- Supplied brand new and factory sealed, so you are the first owner of this disc and its licence.
Package Contents
Rise of the Ronin arrives as a single game disc inside its retail PS5 case, sealed in factory film. No console, controller or cables are included; this is the game alone, made for a PS5 you already own. The Standard Edition carries no Digital Deluxe items inside the case. Keep the disc in its case between sessions, since dust and humidity, especially along the coast in Mombasa, can mark a loose disc and cause read errors.
Warranty
Mascom International covers the Rise of the Ronin disc for 6 months against manufacturing defects. If the disc fails to read or install on a working PS5 because of a factory fault, bring it with its case to our Nairobi CBD store, where our team handles the claim directly.
