Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PC hits Jan. 9, pre-orders discounted (update)

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for Windows PC is scheduled to launch Jan. 9, 2014, according to the game's Amazon listing.

Publisher Konami announced earlier this year that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title would be receiving a PC port. No launch date was given, but Kojima Productions staff members said this week that the PC version "[is] coming sooner than you anticipate ... it's in the final stages right now. You'll be seeing it pop up on Steam any day now."

The listing mentions that the PC version of the game includes all three DLC missions: Blade Wolf, Jetstream and VR Missions, in addition to all customized body upgrades for Raiden. Players will also be able to play any and all cutscenes from the game and access codecs via the main menu. A graphic options tab has also been added to the options menu to allow players to modify resolution and anti-aliasing.

We have reached out to Konami to confirm whether the listing is accurate.

Update: Konami confirmed the Jan. 9 date in a press release on Dec. 19; the Windows PC version of Revengeance is now available for pre-order on Steam. It will cost $29.99 in North America, £19.99 in the U.K. and €19.99 in Europe, but pre-order customers will receive a discount. Those who pre-order by 1 p.m. ET on Dec. 20 will get Revengeance for $19.99, a 33 percent discount, while pre-orders between that point and the game's release will cost $23.99, a 20 percent discount.
