MGS Revengeance coming back?

Platinum Games has teased a celebratory event for the 10th anniversary of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the excellent hack-and-slash adventure that has gone on to have a second life as the source of countless memes. The game had originally been in development at Konami's Kojima Productions as Metal Gear Rising before being handed over to the action game specialists, who came up with the rather brilliant central mechanic of ripping out your enemies' spines to heal oneself, and the rest is high-octane history.

The game did get some (very good) DLC but, despite the positive reception and decent sales, it's been silence ever since. Given the subsequent Konami-Kojima fallout and the Metal Gear series being seemingly put on ice, a sequel has never felt less likely. And yet, now Platinum is announcing the game's upcoming 10th anniversary, along with the reveal of some new celebratory artwork.

"On February 21, 2023, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance will celebrate its 10th anniversary since its release. On the day of the event, we will unveil the #MGR anniversary art on PlatinumGames' official Twitter to commemorate the 10th anniversary, so don't miss it."

Pretty innocuous stuff but it has all fans, myself included, huffing generous amounts of copium while fantasising about filleting giant mechs with a katana. Again.

None of this is helped by the fact that main character Raiden's voice actor, Quinton Flynn, recently teased upcoming Metal Gear news: "Stay tuned for things to be announced in the upcoming weeks!" Though funnily enough, that seems to have been the actor plugging his appearance on a podcast and an autograph stream to coincide with the anniversary(opens in new tab). Flynn keeps on tweeting and re-tweeting about the game's anniversary though, so hope is not extinguished yet.

Both Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa have so far kept their own counsel, though it's extremely unlikely that they would be involved in any future Metal Gear project anyway. While a MGR: Revengeance 2 announcement does seem unlikely, Metal Gear fans will be hoping that this year Konami shows some signs of life: it's long been rumoured that the publisher is planning remasters of some of the Metal Gear Solid titles and, with absolutely nothing since the post-Kojima Metal Gear Survive in 2018, it's been way too long for one of the great videogame series. Oh well, at least we can celebrate when it used to be good with some art.

Oh snap, maybe we'll get a remaster for current gen consoles? Or better yet, a sequel?! Or maybe BOTH?! What do you think, SW? Were you a fan of MGS Revengeance? Would you like to revisit it again?

Remamsters is a lazy shit job, zero interest. A full high effort remake might be more interesting, but already played the game, and not too interested in replaying it. A sequel, tho, now that would be juicy.

I have the 360 version, played through it and enjoyed it quite a bit. Would definitely be interested in a sequel but would also be quite happy with just a current gen remaster. Think the remaster is the most likely.

Works with BC on SX

Please be a sequel this time.

yea but no FPS bump, right? I remember trying.

It's Konami. You will not get a sequel.

yes done right I love remakes.

Yeah no thanks. Didn't even bother with the original. I want Kojima-made Metal Gears.

if we never get Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 6 at least remake the entire Metal Gear franchise over a 10-12 year course please god.

whaaat Revengeance was awesome!

I can't get hyped it's Konami, they ruined practically all the remasters they done in recent years and the sequels have been awful.

I got this recently on steam deck. Never played it. Zero interest in a remaster/remake. Waste of dev hours.

Played the original a bit, didn’t get into it.

Loved MGR, would love a sequel (come on Konami, this is easy money).

As a side-note: when this was in development at Kojima pro. I think it was called Metal Gear Solid Rising, as it was orginally a prequel to MGS4, Platinum later did away with the "Solid" since their version had a different identity.

One of my favorite games. Hopefully they’re making a sequel.

As for a remaster, either go all in like dead space or don’t bother. It’s BC on Xbox so I’ll just replay it.

Sequel or stfu

A remaster would be stupid imo. It already runs at 60 fps and still looks pretty .... solid.
