The game underwent significant changes in its play mechanics and storyline under PlatinumGames' involvement, although Kojima Productions retained responsibility for the game's overall plot and Raiden's design. The project resurfaced in late 2011 under its finalized title, with PlatinumGames as the new developer. However, the team met with difficulties in developing a game based on swordplay, so executive producer Hideo Kojima postponed its development until a solution could be found. The game was originally being developed internally by Kojima Productions, who announced the game in 2009 under the title of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. The series' usual stealth elements are also optional to reduce combat. Through the use of Blade Mode, Raiden can cut cyborgs in slow motion and steal parts stored in their bodies. In the game, players control Raiden, a cyborg who confronts the private military company Desperado Enforcement, with the gameplay focusing on fighting enemies using a sword and other weapons to perform combos and counterattacks. Released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows, it is a spin-off in the Metal Gear series, and is set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a 2013 hack and slash game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Konami Digital Entertainment.
