Metal Gear Solid: Rising creative producer Shigenobu Matsuyama has revealed that the upcoming Metal Gear franchise spin-off won’t dwell on the history of the Metal Gear saga, enabling the game to be accessible to newcomers.
“To answer you question about returning characters, we’re probably not going to show too many characters in Rising because, since it’s a new part of a series, we don’t really want to refer to and dwell upon the Metal Gear saga so much.” Matsuyama told gamesTM magazine.
“We want newcomers to the game to come in and play freely without needing to know and understand the background of the whole Metal Gear Solid universe,” he added. “We don’t want to have it all tied up with the story from MGS2 or MGS4 and make it too complicated.”
Obviously the main man is series regular Raiden, but beyond that who knows.
Metal Gear Solid: Rising is scheduled for release on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2011.
