Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the upcoming hack and slash title from Platinum Games, now has a special pre-order bonus for those who pre-purchase it from GameStop in the U.S., in the form of a skin that transforms the protagonist, Raiden, into the Cyborg Ninja from the original Metal Gear Solid.

The Metal Gear series is moving into a new direction with the upcoming Revengeance, as Platinum Games wants to deliver an intense hack and slash experience that’s completely different than the previous stealth games.

In order to get people interested in the new title, Konami has now revealed a special bonus it will give to all North American customers who pre-order the game via GameStop, in the form of the Cyborg Ninja skin.

Konami also revealed, via Twitter, that all European versions of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance would include the bonus skin.
