Fans of Metal Gear Rising received new artwork rather than a remaster

How about some fresh artwork from the developers of the game instead of a PS5, PS4 remaster for the 10th anniversary of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance? In fact, Platinum Games has created a blog post where you can check out some fresh illustrations inspired by the PS3 game as well as a message from the game’s director Kenji Saito. For many fans, the news will come as a disappointment because there was no mention of a remake, remaster, or even a re-release.

Saito expresses gratitude to the audience for its support of the game over the past ten years. He said, “My most recent memory of anything to do with the game, ten years after the game’s release, is seeing Armstrong and Sam appear in so many memes globally. It seems surreal that MGR: R is still being discussed ten years later. The director then remarks on how the number of players has grown over time, calling it “truly moving stuff.”

The Platinum Games team, including Tomoko Nishii, Kenichirou Yoshimura, and Kana Yamamoto, then shares some fresh artwork in the blog post. A few of the illustrations are embedded below; click on them to see them in their entirety.

Jamie Christopherson, the game’s music composer, provided a message to cap off today’s 10th anniversary celebrations. He expresses his gratitude to the audience once more and says he’s “I’m pleasantly surprised that the game and soundtrack have remained popular, and that players from all over the world have continued to admire and play them. I have personally enjoyed seeing all of the hilarious memes, reaction videos, and song covers that we created for the game. It means a lot to me to know that the game and music have made so many people happy.”

Since there is no mention of a re-release anywhere in PlatinumGames’ blog post, any hopes and dreams for a Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance remaster are likely over at this point. It appears that this is all that Raiden’s voice actor Jack Flynn was alluding to when he previously teased “things to be announced in the coming weeks.” Unless the Japanese developer is hiding a new surprise. But at this point, it seems unlikely, so you’ll have to settle for some fresh art.

At least, do you like the drawings?

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
