Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Game's 'Cutting' Video Posted

Konami began streaming a 32-second "cutting" video for the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance action game on Friday. Konami released a free demo for the game on the PlayStation Network in Japan only on Thursday. The demo will be available in other countries on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 in January.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance stars Metal Gear Solid 2 protagonist Raiden, a cyborg ninja. The game's official website outlines the story as:

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 Revengeance pits cyborg against cyborg in battle that blazes past every human limit!

Kojima Productions (the company overseen by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima) is responsible for the scenario and setting supervision of the game, while Platinum Games (Bayonetta) is handling its development.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles in North America on February 19, 2013. The Japanese release will be for the PlayStation 3 console only. Various game packages, including the limited-edition Zandatsu Package with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PlayStation 3, will ship in Japan on February 21, 2013.
