Platinum Games has revealed its plans for add-on content for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The three packs each have unique features, characters, or story content.

The first expansion features 30 additional VR missions, and the Snake Soul wooden sword, which speaks in the voice of Solid Snake. Looks like actor David Hayter will return to Metal Gear after all, despite Snake's total absence in Rising's main story. It will also feature side-scrolling objectives with a fixed-camera.

Following that, the main villain of Metal Gear Rising, Jetstream Sam, will see his own expansion pack. Platinum won't detail it quite yet, but imagery shows Sam fighting typical cyborgs as well as a Metal Gear Ray.

Finally, the third downloadable expansion stars LQ-84i, better known as Bladewolf, and even better known as that wise-crackin' robot dog Raiden teams up with. Platinum claims playing as LQ-84i serves a deeper view of Rising's world.

Konami and Platinum haven't stated when to expect the expansions, but we'll have everything you need as it happens here at IGN.

I'm really looking forward to the Sam and Wolf DLCs. Sam's DLC seems to be a prequel since he lacks his cyborg arm in the pictures that have been shown. Really looking forward to it. Just wish the VR Mission DLC wasn't PS3-exclusive in North America. Also wish they would give us DATES for them!

This game's excellent.
 
I have to give it to Platinum to find a wonderfully silly way to incorporate previous Metal Gear lore into Rising. I mean, Snake's soul in a sword? Is he a genie now?
 
The fact that the Snake sword TALKS when you swing it is amazing.
