This switch in developer was formally announced on December 10, 2011. At the beginning of 2011, Kojima decided to hand the development of the game over to PlatinumGames, who revamped the entire game. Originally announced at E3 2009 under the title Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the game went through a long development process at Kojima Productions, who struggled to fully develop the game. According to series creator Hideo Kojima, the game's story is the continuation set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Although a Japanese Xbox 360 version was planned, it was ultimately cancelled. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance ( メタルギアライジングリベンジェンス, Metaru Gia Raijingu: Ribenjensu ?) is a hack and slash game developed by PlatinumGames and produced by Kojima Productions for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows.
