Tuesday June 2nd, 2009 by Walleye

It's E3 time again and Kojima makes a rather shocking announcement.

Appearing during yesterdays Microsoft conference, Hideo Kojima announces that the next game in the Metal Gear Series will be called "Metal Gear Solid: Rising" and will be appearing on the XBOX 360. Immediate speculation was that the game was a 360 exclusive title, but Rising was later confirmed for both PS3 and PC.

Further deatils about the game are unknown at this time. All we know, is that it stars Raiden.

Sony's Keynote rolled around and the PSP GO! was officially unveiled. One of the games announced to be heading for PSP was "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker." Starring Big Boss, Peace Walker is set in 1974. Ten years after Operation Snake Eater and 2 years after the Les Enfants Terribles Project. Peace in Costa Rica is under threat, and so the country without a military calls on the army without a government. A mysterious group of unknown soldiers calling themselves "Militaires Sans Frontieres" who would later be known as the founders of Outer Heaven.

Hideo Kojima appeared on the stage and unveiled this new exclusive to PSP title through a trailer. More information, screenshots and the trailer itself can be found at Kojima Productions’ E3 2009 site.

With Konami's Keynote due to begin later this evening, will more details about these 2 games be revealed, and what is the mysterious secret behind the "MASK" teaser site?
