During a Taipei event over the weekend, Sony was showcasing upcoming exclusive games, when all of the sudden, a number 2 flashed for a brief second. Since then, gamers have been assuming a sequel to Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

The trailer can be seen below; fast forward to the 1:40 mark, during The Order: 1886.

Now for some reason, Geoff Keighley stuck his nose in this saying:

geoff-keighley

Now, as to why they are playing this off as if they don’t know, is beyond me (except for creating anticipation perhaps?), but remember that lame prank/reveal Keighley and Hideo Kojima tried to pull off when revealing The Phantom Pain? With all due respect to Keighley, its hard to believe him when he said the quote above.

Also, although the Metal Gear franchise belongs to Konami, PlatinumGames worked on the game, so maybe they struck an exclusive deal with Sony. Yet, all of the denying is coming from the Konami side of things.

And well the obvious? The number 2 has the same type of calligraphy used for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

Despite this lame way to reveal something, I’m still interested as Rising was one of the best games action games I’ve played.
