REVENGEANCE DLC Rises!

‘VR Missions’ DLC set for March 13^th release, with additional chapters to follow

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH will release the first DLC component for its best-selling METAL GEAR RISING: REVENEGEANCE title in March for both PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360®.

Released on February 26th to huge critical acclaim, METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE marked the collaboration between Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames. The all-action epic, takes the renowned METAL GEAR franchise into exciting new territory with its mix of action and epic storytelling. The game features Raiden as its central character – a former child soldier transformed into a cyborg ninja, and equipped with his signature High-Frequency Blade – and the three new DLC elements further showcase the rich characters the game boasts.

The first DLC pack on March 13^th, comprises the eagerly-awaited ‘VR Missions’, wherein Raiden’s many attacks and stealth skills are challenged in a series of virtual reality environments. Designed to complement previously-released VR Missions seen in previous entries to the METAL GEAR SOLID series, the VR Missions DLC will add 30 new missions to the METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE VR Missions menu. Each new mission is designed to test the player’s reactions, movement and fighting skills.

These will be followed soon after by two story-based DLC chapters. ‘Jetstream’ centres on the side-story of Sam, and features him as a playable character for the first time, while the ‘Blade Wolf’ pack focuses on Raiden’s enigmatic side-kick and its unique story. Both packs expand on the backgrounds of these two key characters, and provide origin stories that segue seamlessly into the main game.

All three packs will be available for both PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360®.
