Metal Gear Rising 2 Won’t Be Revealed At E3 2015

Metal Gear Rising: Reveangeance is one of the best action games released in recent times and the fact that it has been developed in a very short amount of time makes one wonder what Platinum Games could do with more time on an hypothetical Metal Gear Rising 2.

Those who hoped that we would hear more about the game during the E3 2015 are really going to be disappointed in knowing that no announcement will be coming this week. The news has been confirmed on Twitter by Metal Gear series producer Kenchiro Imaizumi. However it looks like we will hear more in the future, as Mr. Imaizumi elaborated that there is no Metal Gear Rising 2 announcement planned for the E3 2015 but he cannot talk about any future plan.

I can confirm now "No MGR2" sorry. https://t.co/ZIGZjWWVSh

Last month we have learned through Raiden’s voice actor Quinton Flynn that a Metal Gear Rising 2 was at least planned sometime after the recording sessions for the original game were done. Mr. Flynn was supposed to record voices for the new game in 2014 or 2015 but no word has been said on the matter for a while, most likely due to the recent issues between Konami and Hideo Kojima. Still, what Kenchiro Imaizumi said gives us hope for a new game so there is still something to be happy about, despite the game not getting announced this week.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance has been released some time ago on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, before getting ported to PC. The game has been developed by Platinum Games, known for other excellent action games such as the Bayonetta series, The Wonderful 101 and others, and stars Raiden as he deals with yet another crisis that threathens the world.

Metal Gear Rising 2 has yet to be announced and, as stated above, it will not be revealed during the E3 2015. More on the matter is surely going to emerge in the future so stay tuned for all the latest news on the game.
