Metal Gear Rising DLC Rumors: VR Missions and Sub Stories Arriving After Feb. 22 Release Date?

Reports have started to surface about the potential downloadable content for the upcoming "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance."

The magazine Dengeki Playstation noted in its article on the game that Konami will release VR missions and sub stories that revolve around the title's supporting cast as the downloadable content. The information has not been confirmed by Konami and no release dates or pricing have been announced either. According to Video Game Writers, every Metal Gear title has featured VR missions whether in original versions or in re-releases of the titles.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is slated for a February 22, 2013 release date in North American and will then be launched on Feb. 22 across Europe and the UK. The title will be available for the Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. A demo version of the title was released on Jan.22.

Early opinions on the game have generally been positive. Joystiq's Mike Schramm states that "So far Rising is a stellar action title. Both Platinum and Kojima Productions have clearly committed their own special talents to the title, and though the spin-off's origins were reportedly rough going, the end result is a very smooth mix of the Metal Gear franchise and Platinum's action expertise."
