Next Metal Gear Confirmed To Be Multiplatform

Announced a few days ago for the Xbox 360, Konami confirmed today that Metal Gear Solid: Rising will mark the series' first simultaneous multi-format release.

Entitled Metal Gear Solid: Rising will be available for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC-DVD.

The first Metal Gear Solid game in the series' history to be released simultaneously on three platforms, Metal Gear Solid: Rising stars Raiden - one of the most popular characters within the MGS universe. Raiden made his debut as a playable character in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for PlayStation®2, and appeared as a non-playable cyborg in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PLAYSTATION®3.

"The Metal Gear Solid series has always pushed the bar with its cinematic visuals and entertaining story line," commented Martin Schneider, European Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "Now even more gamers can immerse themselves in the franchise and experience the groundbreaking series as Metal Gear Solid: Rising heads to the platform of their choice."
