Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Demo to Be Available on PSN and XBL Services Next Week

Demo

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH have today announced that they will be releasing a playable demo of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance via both the Playstation Network and XBox Live services on the 23rd January 2013, just shy of a month until the games official release on the 21st February.

The demo will be split over three stages which will offer users the chance to experience the level of control the games ‘Zan-Datsu’ combat system offers. The game, which is a co-production between Kojima Productions and Platinum Games moves the series from the stealth action / third person shooter genre to the pure action genre – blending unrelenting action with the level of storytelling the Metal Gear series has been known for.

The new game features Raiden as its central character, and is set in a near future where cyborg technology has become commonplace throughout society. Following the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots which oversaw the collapse of the Patriots hierarchy that had been secretlycontrolling the global power balance, the large ‘Private Military Companies’ (PMCs) that had been supported and controlled by the Patriots have collapsed, spawning countless rogue entities.

METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE begins with Raiden working for an agency protecting an African Prime Minister as he looks to engineer a better future for his country, only to be attacked by cyborg swordsmen, who then turn attention to Raiden. What follows is a classic story of revenge and hope, as Raiden uses his High Frequency Blade to exact bloody revenge on those that stand between him and those that wronged him. The demo gives players their first use of Raiden’s new cyborg body and a blade that can cut through virtually anything with total freedom, raising anticipation for one of 2013’s most anticipated action titles.

For my Aussie readers, Australian distributor Mindscape Asia Pacific have confirmed that this demo will be available in our region.
