UPDATE: Press release and trailer added.

Original Story: We absolutely cant wrap our heads around this, seriously.

Hideo Kojima sneakingly and shockingly came on stage tonight at the Microsoft press conference to announce that Metal Gear Solid: Rising is coming to Xbox 360. Kojima then showed off a 30 second teaser which contained stuff from the teaser site, but it did confirm that the ninja from that site was Raiden.

We need to wrap our heads around this, honest to god. Konami’s conference will be packed now to the rafters on Wednesday.

PR and trailer after the jump.
