To play multiplayer in Rise of the Ronin, you’ll first need to unlock the Longhouse. This location enables you to store items, change your character’s appearance, and play coop with other players. 

The Longhouse is located in Miyozaki and is unlocked by playing through the game’s main story. Ryoma Sakamoto will gift you the Longhouse after you’ve visited the Miyozaki Pleasure District, and spoken to Taka Murayama. 

Once you have unlocked the Longhouse, simply follow the instructions outlined below to begin a co-op mission.  

  1. Head over to the Longhouse (east of the Miyozaki Pleasure District).
  2. Select ‘Cooperate’ from the options menu. 
  3. Choose the mission you wish to embark upon.  

It’s important to note, that the mission level will be adjusted depending on the strength of each player, and the gear you have equipped. So, if you’re a high-level player and have powerful gear, then be prepared for a bigger challenge. 

How many people can play multiplayer in Rise of the Ronin? 

Up to four players can join a multiplayer mission in Rise of the Ronin. This means you’ll be able to team up with both your friends and random players online when taking down bosses and tough enemies. 

Does Rise of the Ronin have PVP?
