Hideo Kojima shared a picture of a Metal Gear Rising poster that Kojima Productions received to color check. Two of the characters are hidden by a conveniently placed iPhone. Here’s the poster (click to enlarge):

It’s very likely one of those characters is Sunny from Metal Gear Solid 4, who has already been confirmed to make an appearance in the game, but hasn’t been unveiled yet. Only this silhouette has been shown so far:

Hideo Kojima received a special present from Square Enix (who makes the Play Arts KAI Metal Gear figures): a one of kind ‘Hideo Raiden’ action figure. According to Kojima, this is the only one that exists in the world.

Since you can remove the head, you can also attach it to other bodies.

Kojima placed the figure in his Metal Gear Solid 4 display cabinet.

Konami has released a European commercial for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, in which Raiden explains why he isn’t someone you should mess with in his new game. Check out the video below.

A soundtrack CD for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance will be released alongside the game. The first print of the CD will come in a special metal case with a holograph and gleaming logo.

The soundtrack CD can be ordered at KonamiStyle, and will release the same day as the game, February 21st. It will also be available at some stores in the US, though it seems likely this offer will be for the Japanese KonamiStyle only.

Yes, the trailers for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance just keep on coming.

In the first video the Cyborgs of the game get a chance to shin (or rather be cut to pieces). Shown in the trailer are cyborg soldiers, cyborg cops, heavy cyborgs and custom cyborgs.

According to GameSpot, the site that posted the video, this is the first in a series of four videos about the game. So it doesn’t end here!

This next trailer showcases Raiden’s Inferno Armor, which increases the amount of throwing weapons (such as grenades) Raiden can carry.

The Inferno Armor is exclusive to Amazon, and you will be able to obtain it by pre-ordering the game there.
