Metal Gear Rising Revengeance for Xbox 360 cancelled in Japan

By DeaconBlade • September 12, 2012

Konami, Konami, Konami. Why you no love Xbox in Japan? Konami has decided to kill the Xbox 360 version of the game in Japan and only release it on PS3. So those of you in Japan … yes all ten of you will now have to import or play Revengeance on PS3. This decision doesn’t affect the game in other regions.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was one of my surprises at PAX so I’m excited that it’s still coming to regions outside of Japan. I guess this is no surprise considering the struggles of the Xbox 360 in Japan. Konami didn’t give a specific reason but I’d imagine the status of the Xbox in Japan played a big part in the decision.

What say you?

Ah well, no big loss to anyone. I’m sure whoever owns a 360 in Japan also has a PS3
