Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid series and the vice president of Konami, revealed that the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Rising has been renamed to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is being developed by Platinum Games, the Japanese developer behind the Vanquish and Bayonetta action. The game's events will take place after Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots; but it will forgo the series trademark stealth gameplay in favor of a hack-and-slash action one.
Metal Gear Solid 2's Raiden will star as the lead protagonist in Revengeance.
