Metal Gear Rising – nanomachines, son (pic: Konami)
Something new relating to Metal Gear Rising and Raiden seems to be on the horizon, as the game’s 10th anniversary approaches.
The Metal Gear franchise as a whole celebrated its 35th anniversary last year but if you want to feel really old consider that it’ll be the 10th anniversary of spin-off Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on February 19.
The original was an action game by Bayonetta creators PlatinumGames and both a critical and commercial success, although evidentially not big enough to justify a sequel… except perhaps now.
Quinton Flynn, the voice actor of main character Raiden, has told fans to ‘Stay tuned for things to be announced in the coming weeks’ but it’s not at all clear what he’s referring to.
Before we continue, we should point out that by far the least reliable source of information for gaming is, not random YouTubers, but voice actors.
They’re always hinting at projects that never get announced and sometimes even seem confused as to exactly what game they’re working on, so you should take anything any of them say with a large pinch of salt.
Not that Flynn said anything else but the context is him replying to fans talking about the 10th anniversary, and in particular one who specifically mentioned the prospect of a Metal Gear Solid 2.

Even in that context, Flynn’s comment is somewhat ambiguous, as it’s not entirely clear if he’s referring to Metal Gear Rising or something else to do with the series, especially as he also voiced Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4.
There have been numerous rumours of Metal Gear remasters and remakes over the years, most commonly Metal Gear Solid 1 and 3, but nothing’s ever been announced and Konami has never said anything official.

Ever since series creator Hideo Kojima left the company, and especially after the failure of Metal Gear Survive , Konami has seemed to accept that making a brand new game doesn’t make much sense.

However, Kojima had relatively little to do with Metal Gear Rising, so theoretically it’d be much easier to make a sequel to that.
The problem there is that PlatinumGames has said they no longer want to work on games they don’t own the rights too. Whether they’re willing to change their mind remains to be seen but it may be that what Flynn is really getting at is simply a remaster of the original.
