Have you ever wanted to become an unstoppable cyborg ninja and slice through everything in your path? Well, if that’s the case, you’re in luck, because the flashy, stylish, unstoppable-cyborg-ninja game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be making its way to Mac tomorrow courtesy of publisher TransGaming.
Originally released by Konami on consoles in 2013 and on PC earlier this year, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a third-person action game that puts you into the bionically enhanced shoes of Raiden, a child soldier turned cyborg ninja. Wielding a “high-frequency katana,” you’ll battle your way through legions of skilled foes and challenging bosses in cinematic, fast-paced combat as you embark on a mission of revenge.

Though Metal Gear games have been released on iOS before, this marks the first time that the renowned series has made its way to Mac. In addition, the release of Metal Gear Rising marks TransGaming’s expansion into Mac game publishing; previously the company was focused on enablement technology that allowed easy porting of games to Mac and other platforms.
“Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is not only an incredibly rich AAA+ game that contains fantastic action, but it also fills a void in the Mac market,” explains Fredrik Liljegren, vice president of the graphics and portability group at TransGaming, in an interview with MacLife.com. “There really aren’t any games quite like this one available right now. This particular title also shows off what TransGaming’s technology is capable of delivering to its partners. As a highly advanced technical title, it’s an excellent candidate to show of our cutting edge enablement technology, Cider. In showcasing the level of gaming-performance that Macs can deliver, we are confident that Mac gamers will be thrilled with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.”
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be available in the Mac App Store starting Sept. 25, and will be priced at $29.99 (although it may debut at a lower promo price). But that’s just the beginning of TransGaming’s plans to bring big-name titles from top publishing partners to Mac.
“We can’t really give too much away regarding specific future titles,” Liljegren notes. “What we can say, however, is that there are numerous high profile titles in the pipeline for release over the next 12 months, so stay tuned for future announcements.”
