When Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was still Metal Gear Solid: Rising, it was supposed to be coming to PC as well as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Then, the PC edition was silently ditched. Now, it's back. Developer Platinum Games today confirmed that yes, lucky PCnauts will get to cut cyborgs into tiny pieces with a cybersword.
Not every game could feature a robotic talking wolf with a chainsaw on its back, but then, not every game can be Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Konami released a trailer for the newly-launched Blade Wolf downloadable content yesterday, showcasing exactly how out-and-out bonkers Platinum Games can get.
PlatinumGames had you playing a cybersamurai in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's first story-expanding DLC, Jetstream, and soon you'll get to be a robowolf. The 'Blade Wolf' DLC starring Raiden's cybercanine chum will launch on May 14, publisher Konami announced today.
As promised, the first real expansion pack for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is out today. The "Jetstream" DLC follows the exploits of Jetstream Sam in a side story that explains his origins and promises "multiple hours of gameplay."
Oddly, although the expansion was originally set to be $7, Konami has changed the price of the add-on to $9.99. You can pick it up on Xbox Live Marketplace now, or on PlayStation Store later today.
As expected, publisher Konami has confirmed that the two Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC packs starring Jetstream Sam and Blade Wolf, which it announced a while back for Japan, will indeed come westward. They're due to arrive on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 "starting this April," priced at $7 a pop.

Tomorrow, PS3 owners will be able to pick up their free exclusive DLC for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The free content includes thirty additional VR missions, promising zany experiences that may have been too wacky for the main campaign (unbelievable as that may be).
A new Japanese trailer reveals some of the missions you'll embark on. You'll be able to play as the Dwarf Gekko once again in the first add-on mission. In another, you'll be gunning down enemies as Raiden. Another stage seems to take the perspective of a 2D side-scroller.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's previously announced VR missions have a date. They'll be available exclusively on the PlayStation 3, starting next Tuesday, March 12, and will be free for a limited time.
There's few franchises that garner the same kind of respect Metal Gear does. Over its 25 year legacy, it's repeatedly defined landmark moments in gaming. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has a lot to live up to. Not only must it adhere to the same quality expected of the franchise, but it must make real what many fans have been waiting for: a game where you get to play as one of the series' deadly sword-wielding cyborg ninjas.
Platinum Games, developer of cult action hits like Bayonetta and Vanquish, clearly have the chops to make a great action game. But, can they make a great game that lives up to the Metal Gear name? Almost, but not quite.
The Metal Gear series has a long history of PlayStation allegiance. Although Platinum Games' upcoming Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will launch simultaneously on PS3 and Xbox 360, Konami has revealed a special bonus for PlayStation players.
The PS3 version of the game will include exclusive DLC VR missions. The PlayStation-only pack adds 30 new missions to the game, a bonus that should easily sway any multi-console owners.
Stabby spin-off Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance could have starred a very different cyborg ninja, Hideo Kojima has said: series veteran Gray Fox. The Metal Gear creator has said he fancied seeing the former FOXHOUND member with those fabulous new shiny metal buttocks, but as he was going more hands-off with Revengeance he let the team go with their pick of Raiden.
Zany bosses are a hallmark of the Metal Gear series, so while Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance may spin-off in a wildly different, stabby direction, rest assured that you'll still get to duff up some right proper weirdos. A new Japanese trailer from publisher Konami shows off a selection of the bosses Raiden will be cutting up, including a very handy lady, a pre-sliced chap, and some big fella wot hit things wiv swords.
Konami released the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo ages ago exclusively to people who bought the Zone of the Enders HD Collection, but now has a pegged a firm date for its proper release. Come January 22, all and sundry on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will get to enjoy a slice of the stab-happy Metal Gear Solid spin-off.
There's a lot to be excited for in 2013, and the Shacknews staff each have five games on their radar. The editorial team at Shacknews outlines their most anticipated games of 2013 individually. Next up, we've got staff writer Ozzie Mejia's list of next year's titles.
Some games might let you seek vengeance, and others might let you dole out revenge, but only one lets you perform a conflated nonsense word that includes both distinct but extremely similar concepts. You can try it out for yourself next January, when a demo for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will hit the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
Something I found surprising in my time with the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was the greater emphasis on stealth. Sure, the game offers plenty of Platinum's unique brand of action, but it still retains a good deal of MGS-style sneaking around. After the game proved me wrong, I asked if the addition of stealth mechanics was the intention from the beginning or whether it was tossed in later to address fan concerns.
"In the beginning, we wrapped around the core concept of just having Raiden moving forward," Platinum's Atsushi Inaba answered, speaking through a translator. "It was based on sole action. But looking back, it would have been very dull and very centered around just cutting."
