MGR: Revengeance getting PS3-exclusive VR missions

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will look to its past by offering a host of "Virtual Reality" missions exclusively for the PlayStation 3 version of the game, Sony announced today. Thirty new missions, inspired by the original VR missions from the first Metal Gear Solid, will be available as downloadable content for Revengeance.

The VR missions for Revengeance will include a mix of combat training, tactical maneuvering, and stealth. They will take place not in settings from the game's campaign, but rather in all-new spaces. In addition, players will be able to control the Dwarf Gekko in the VR missions.

It is not clear if the VR missions will be available as DLC on launch day or sometime after.

Revengeance is due out for Xbox 360 and PS3 on February 19 in North America. A demo is available today on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. For more, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of Revengeance.
