Rise of the Ronin Yokohama Missions List Featured Image

Rise of the Ronin offers a story rich in memorable character moments between bouts of clearing bandit hideouts and finding the occasional lost kitty. It also offers the player a glimpse into the lives of Japanese people during that turbulent era in history.

In this guide, I’ll tell you about all the missions you can expect to encounter on the Yokohama map and their associated rewards. This will include all the Ronin main story missions, bond, and grassroots missions. This will hopefully set up the right expectations when going into the game’s open world.

A heavy Spoiler Warning is issued past this point. No mission details will be given. The list alone can still be considered a spoiler.
