30 Days Before Metal Gear Rising

It’s been a long time coming, but Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is only a month away.

What started as a mysterious stealth/action hybrid by Kojima Productions has developed into a ravenous bloodbath by the imaginative creators at PlatinumGames (Bayonetta, Vanquish). Metal Gear Rising follows cyborg ninja samurai death-dealer Jack, also known as Raiden, several years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4. Expect to cut things. Lots of things.

If you haven’t been staying up to date with Raiden’s exploits, start right here.

When Cyborg Raiden debuted in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the man everyone used to hate was suddenly an acrobatic, ultraviolent badass. He was cutting robots to pieces with a katana and using his foot to swing the blade. Everyone and their dog wanted to play that game. Metal Gear Rising gives players the opportunity to slice, dice, and make a bloody mess of things.
