Konami Digital Entertainment announced today that it is to release a digital download version of the stunning Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for Windows PC. Developed by Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes the renowned Metal Gear franchise into exciting new territory with an action experience unlike anything seen before.
According to its press release, the game brings together two of the world’s most respected development forces, and unites them with a goal of producing a fresh experience that combines the best elements of pure action with epic story-telling set within the expansive Metal Gear universe.
