New Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Video Shows Skill Upgrades

Konami has just posted a brand new gameplay video with its upcoming Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, this time showing the various upgradeable skills and moves that can be pulled off by the protagonist, Raiden.

Revengeance is set to deliver an intense sci-fi hack-and-slash experience next week, as Konami and developer Platinum Games are trying to take the Metal Gear series into a new direction.

We already got to try out a special demo last month and have since admired a variety of new videos.

The latest gameplay trailer, which you can check out above, shows Raiden's unlockable and upgradeable skills, which include impressive moves like Thunderstrike, Falling Lightning, Sweep Kick, and crowd-clearing abilities like Stormbringer.

Check out Raiden's impressive moves in the new video above and look forward to the release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on February 19, in North America, and February 22, in Europe, for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
