In our review of Revengeance, which scored 8.5, we said “Few action games are as fast, rewarding, and exciting as the insane and imperfect Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.” Would you like to see Revengeance get a second lease of life on current-gen hardware? Let us know in the comments below. For those yet to play it, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is an action-oriented Metal Gear spin-off which thrusts cyber-ninja Raiden into the limelight. It could also be a pure coincidental use of a similar font (and it would be PlatinumGames' font to use, of course Sony has yet to explain how that '2' got in its video in the first place.) PlatinumGames' own Hideki Kamiya made matters no more or less clear with this tweet on his personal feed: ２…！？ - 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya FebruYou can read all about the Taipei Game Show image which confused fans the world over, here. You can almost cut through everything and make it into a hundred pieces. Few games have ever been so exciting and detailed when it comes to sword fight. And even if the Second Anniversary Illustration art is meant to comment on the mystery '2' in the Taipei PlayStation 4 sizzle reel, it is by no means a confirmation of a new game it could simply be a gag by the designers. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a really cool and enjoyable game. The graphics, however, do not match up exactly, with shading, highlights and texturing all quite different between the graphics although the fonts in each '2' are similar, the cuts in the curves are not exactly alike either. Both '2' graphics share a similar font and metallic design.

But does the new '2' just stand for '2nd Anniversary,', or could it mean 'Metal Gear Rising 2', as the rumor mill insists? The connection is clear, but not exactly conclusive. and since they're a cheeky group of designers, it would be clever (if cruel) to take this opportunity and play off the rumors while celebrating a milestone.

Developer PlatinumGames and producer Kojima Productions have actively promoted MGR over these two years, with additional DLC and social media posts and other releases (a PC version of the game was released in January of 2014.) It would not unusual for the team to celebrate this second anniversary. Which begs the question, what is Raiden up to now? For now, all he is doing is celebrating two years of being the star of his own videogame.
