Well, this came out of nowhere. Blink and you’ll miss it: at exactly two hours, forty-six minutes, and thirty-nine seconds into the TGS livestream, we get a glimpse of a large number 2, in the same typography used for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Most of you probably know MGR as a spin-off of Metal Gear Solid developed by Platinum Games. I know it as one of my favorite games of both 2013 and 2014 (the PC release was a year after it first came out.)

The first Metal Gear Rising was an absolute triumph of hack-and-slash fun, memorable characters, and… well, Metal Gear dialogue. If I don’t stop myself now I’ll end up gushing about it for the next half hour, but suffice it to say: I’m hyped, and you should be too. If you never got around to playing it, odds are now is as good a time as any to check it out, and I strongly recommend you do just that. This teaser may not be much to go on, but I’ll be keeping my eyes wide open for any more info about Metal Gear Rising 2, and you can bet I’ll be sharing anything I find right here, so be sure to watch the site for updates.
