Platinum Games: Metal Gear Rising to “Set All-New Standards for the Action Genre”

In case you missed it, Metal Gear Solid: Rising has become Metal Gear Rising, and it was announced at the VGA’s this past weekend that the upcoming title has landed at Vanquish and Bayonetta studio – Platinum Games.

Platinum Games has updated their official site revealing a little more info. Metal Gear Rising is being developed through a partnership between Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames who say this new development structure promises to “set all-new standards for the action genre.”

Platinum Games:

The main character, Raiden, was once feared as the child soldier “Jack the Ripper” on the front lines of the First Liberian Civil War. Now, his combat mastery is channeled through a cyborg body as the strikes from his high-frequency blade slice even massive assault drones in two.

Raiden is contracted for VIP protection, military training and other duties by PMSCs (Private Military and Security Companies) in a developing country piecing itself back together after a bloody civil war. Little does he know that the stage is set for a clash with an enigmatic force of countless cyborgs.

Reborn at the hands of PlatinumGames, METAL GEAR RISING pits cyborg against cyborg in battle that blazes past every human limit!
