E3: MGS: Rising is multiplatform

SCEA boss confirms PS3 version.

Sony US boss Jack Tretton has confirmed a PS3 version of Metal Gear Solid: Rising.

Hideo Kojima unveiled the game for Xbox 360 during the Microsoft E3 conference, leaving a fog of doubt surrounding the platforms.

"Spoke to Tretton - he confirmed Metal Gear Rising is absolutely coming to PS3 alongside Xbox 360," Tweeted Geoff Keighley, presenter of GameTrailers TV (spotted by the twitchy fly-eye of vg247).

No dates have been mentioned for Rising. All we know so far is that Solid Snake will not be the central character. Instead, we'll control metal-mouth Raiden, who's been a franchise familiar for years and has some adept moves of his own. Nice hair, too.

Swagger over to Eurogamer TV for the Metal Gear Solid: Rising E3 teaser.
