As part of their annual Pre-E3 reveal show, Konami unveiled a brand new trailer for the hack and slash title from Platinum Games (previously best known for their Bayonetta title), Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
The latest trailer is a thoroughly bloody affair – and not for the faint hearted. But it does reveal a few extra facts and background behind the story of the game, and why Raiden has returned to fight after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Also revealed in conjunction with the trailer, was the fact that the game has been pushed back a little and now won’t see a retail release until early 2013. This is a shame, after the game has already suffered years of delays, but hopefully it will result in a more polished product, worthy of the Metal Gear name.
See the new video below:
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be launched on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in early 2013. A demo for Metal Gear Rising will be included in the upcoming Zone of the Enders HD release, then later released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
