Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance Concept Art Dump

(Via)

As the launch date for the action packed installment of Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance draws near, the trickle of teaser concept art has accelerated exponentially. Platinum Games just released a nice handful of concepts created by Yoji Shinkawa and Zhao, illustrating the development process of some prominent boss characters as well as a few new sketches of Raiden.

The bosses include a multi-armed female called Mistral and a strangely familiar looking character called Samuel, who despite Konami's insistence, still bears a strange resemblance to Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4's Vamp. A few 3D renders from Platinum's character art team also tease bosses with the codenames of Monsoon, Sundowner and Bladewolf, which you can check out after the break! February 19th can't come soon enough.
