The week of Metal Gear Rising’s release has begun: final trailer on the way, new pictures of merchandise

As the release of Metal Gear Rising draws near (at the end of this week it will be out worldwide), Hideo Kojima and other members of Kojima Productions and Platinum Games are about to start their promotional world tour, and merchandise starts to appear in stores and online. Here are some pictures of the final trailer for the game, UNIQLO Metal Gear Rising products, the Wired Watch and the box of the US collector’s edition.

Kojima has finished the final Metal Gear Rising trailer, which will be available in seven different languages.

The aim of my RISING final trailer, I planed to construct the change of Raiden from “MGS2″→”MGS4” to link “MGR”. Was going to use his voice from past titles but decided not to avoid kill-joy. In result, I managed to express the change only with subtext and music along with the actual movie of “MGR”.

He also posted some photos of UNIQLO, which is now selling Metal Gear Rising themed t-shirts and hoodies.

Here’s another (close up) photo of the Metal Gear Rising Wired Watch, taken by Ken-ichiro Imaizumi of Kojima Productions.
