Kojima Productions' Shigenobu Matsuyama has said that it is unlikely that we will be seeing many characters in Metal Gear Solid: RIsing returning from previous iterations in the franchise.

Matsuyama is the creative producer on Rising, a game rumoured to see an appearance from protagonist legend Solid Snake with it being set in the time slots between Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4. It doesn't look though, as if we can expect to much in the likes of previous characters.

"To answer you question about returning characters, we're probably not going to show too many characters in Rising because, since it's a new part of a series, we don't really want to refer to and dwell upon the Metal Gear sago so much." said Matsuyama, in the latest issue of games™ magazine.

"We want newcomers to the game to come in and play freely without needing to know and understand the background of the whole Metal Gear Solid universe." he continued. "We don't want to have it all tied up with the story from MGS2 or MGS4 and make it too complicated."

So there you have it. The studio seems to want the new instalment in this cracking series to revolve around Raiden, and Raiden only.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is expected to release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime next year.
