If youâve been paying attention to Raidenâs bodysuits (I, apparently, have not), you might notice that Raiden has a different outfit in Metal Gear Rising
In a Konami stage event, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima explained that within Konami, the developers refer to the three different versions of Raiden in different ways.
So, the Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 is called âOld Raidenâ. The Raiden in MGS4 is called âWhite Raidenâ. And the latest Raiden? He is âBlack Raiden.â
Kojima pointed out that Raiden will be defeated by the character Samuel Rodrigues in Metal Gear Rising. Then, he will get a new body and be reborn as âBlack Raidenâ. Noted!
âAfter he becomes Black Raiden,â Kojima said, âthen his real battle begins.â
