A [[science fiction]] action [[video game]] developed by [[platinumgames inc.|Platinum Game]]s and produced by Kojima Productions. The game was originally conceived as "Metal Gear Solid: Rising".

It is a spin-off of the [[metal_gear_(series)|Metal Gear series]], focusing on the character [[Raiden (metal gear)|]] and his work with the PMC Maverick Securities after the events of [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots]]. 

Due to the game's over-the-top narrative and characters, it has gained [[meme]]tic status since its release. In 2021, it has regained resurgence in popularity due to a meme involving [[raiden_punching_armstrong_(meme)|Raiden punching Senator Armstrong]].
