SAINT JEAN, France — July 21, 2022 — Today, Asmodee and Edge Studio announced Adventures in Rokugan will be available August 5. The TTRPG brings the mythical world of Legend of The Five Rings to the beloved ruleset of the 5th Edition SRD. The corebook immerses players within folklore inspired by the cultures of East Asia and empowers them to become a hero of the Emerald Empire. Adventures in Rokugan is available for purchase from selected retailers in English territories for an MSRP of $49.99. The game will launch worldwide in Q4 2022.
Created in the 1990s, Rokugan is a rich universe that has been adapted many times over the years.

Players choose between 7 classes of characters, including the Shinobi, Bushi, Courtier, and Ritualist, and become a legend of Rokugan.
