Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s Destructive New Trailer Reveals Release Date

UPDATE: Looks like Konami Japan has a press release that says the U.S. release date will be February 19th, 2013 while the February 21st date at the end of the trailer is for Japan.

To say Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s development has been all over the place would be an understatement. After many missed release windows, a change in developers and even rumors of cancellation, this thing has gone in more circles than the naked cartwheels in the Big Shell. After watching the newest trailer from Gamescom however, things finally look back on track.

Watching the action from E3 still gets me hyped, from the destructible environments to the oh so choppable enemies. But it looks like Raiden won’t be alone, since he has a new robot dog keeping him company. I mean it worked for Casshern and Blue Falcon, right?

But most importantly, the end of the trailer reveals a release date of February 21st, 2013. It’s been pushed back so many times, I wouldn’t hold me breath, but at least we finally have something solid to go on!

Assuming the Mayans were wrong, living until 2013 can feel like a long wait. Check out the trailer and quench your thirst for Revengeance. Whatever that is…
