Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Jetstream

What new content does this expansion introduce?

The primary addition is a completely new story campaign centered around Samuel Rodrigues. Players step into the role of this formidable swordsman, experiencing events from his viewpoint rather than that of the main protagonist, Raiden. This means new mission structures, unique environmental encounters tailored to Samuel's abilities, and an expanded understanding of the world's political and technological landscape during that time period.

While it does not introduce new core gameplay mechanics fundamentally different from the base game—retaining the high-speed, precise cutting action—it features combat scenarios designed around Samuel's distinct fighting style and moveset. This offers a fresh challenge for players familiar with the base game's controls.

How does this DLC integrate with the main experience?

This is strictly downloadable content that requires the base game, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, to access and play. It functions as a separate, linear story arc. While it runs parallel to or intersects with the main plot, it is not a standalone experience. The scope is substantial enough to offer a dedicated, multi-hour campaign, comparable in quality to the mission structure of the original game, but focused solely on this specific character arc.

What is the focus of the Jetstream story?

The narrative centers on Samuel Rodrigues, a character previously encountered as a significant boss. This expansion allows players to explore his background, his personal philosophy regarding conflict, and the events that led him to his confrontation with Raiden. The atmosphere remains intense and action-oriented, consistent with the parent game's tone, but filtered through Samuel's perspective as a skilled mercenary operating within the shadows of the larger conflict.

Are there any further additions to this content package?

As of its release structure, this content package is the first story DLC released for the title. It was initially a commercial release but was later made available for free, particularly coinciding with the PC version release where it was included by default.
