The game was originally being developed internally by Kojima Productions, who announced the game in 2009 under the title of Metal Gear Solid: Rising.

The series' usual stealth elements are also optional to reduce combat. Through the use of Blade Mode, Raiden can cut cyborgs in slow motion and steal parts stored in their bodies. The gameplay focuses on fighting enemies using a sword and other weapons to perform combos and counterattacks. In the game, the player controls returning Metal Gear character Raiden as he confronts a private military company that wants to destabilize peaceful nations for profit. It is a spin-off in the Metal Gear series, set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2013, Windows and OS X in January and September 2014, and Nvidia Shield TV in January 2016. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Konami.
