PlayStation 5 exclusives don’t happen as often as they used to, but fans looking to play Rise of the Ronin will need the console to access the new Team Ninja game.

Taking place during the Boshin War in 19th-century Japan, players will take control of a nameless warrior as they look to decide the fate of the country from the military dictatorship of the Shogunate.

And with that comes plenty of trophies to keep you hooked to the action RPG for days on end.

Everything from reaching the highest rank and completing various side-missions to collecting all cats is needed to take home that Platinum.

So that you have everything you need, we’ve rounded up the full list of PS5 trophies, including what’s needed to unlock them all. Head below for the full details.

How many trophies are in Rise of the Ronin?

Rise of the Ronin is made up of 51 trophies across PlayStation 5.

This equates to one Platinum, two Gold, nine Silver and 39 Bronze trophies. Twenty-two of these trophies are secret, so it’s useful to know what to do as the game doesn’t tell you.

Looking at the list, it should be pretty straightforward to unlock them all, with the only trophy connected to a higher difficulty being the Midnight Crossing achievement.

We estimate a 100 per cent completion will take somewhere between 30 to 40 hours, depending on your skill level.
