Metal Gear Solid: Rising is an upcoming stealth action video game in the Metal Gear series by Kojima Productions. The game was announced at the Microsoft E3 2009 press conference, and is in development for Xbox 360[2], PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows[3][4][5][6]. The series' former tagline, "Tactical Espionage Action", has been replaced by "Lightning Bolt Action", to fit the new protagonist, Raiden; the word Raiden (雷電) is Japanese for "Thunder and Lighting".

Plot

The game will center around Raiden, the protagonist and player character of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Raiden is shown to be in the cyborg ninja state he was in during the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, although with different armor and eye-color. A second teaser depicted Raiden in his Metal Gear Solid 4 armor with sword drawn, crouching on the back of what appears to be Crying Wolf.[7]

Development

Prior to the announcement of the game, Kojima Productions featured a countdown timer on their website. At the conclusion of the countdown the site was replaced with the image of a brick wall featuring a splash-screen graphic for Metal Gear Solid: Rising.

A teaser trailer was released at the game's announcement by series' director Hideo Kojima, although he will be serving only as producer for the game.
