Don't get us wrong -- we like Ezio and his gentlemanly facial hair plenty, but the opportunity to play as
Metal Gear Solid's bionic man, Raiden? That's simply
thrilling. And it seems we'll be able to do just that, as an anonymous tipster has sent us images revealing Raiden as a playable skin in this month's
Assassin's Creed game,
Brotherhood. As with
AC's Altair in MGS4, it seems Ubisoft and Konami have again come together to forge a beautiful collaboration for fans of both series.
Beyond the images, our tipster claims that the Raiden "outfit" is unlocked upon completing all tasks in the Animus' new "virtual training" mode, leaving us with hope that we could complete the training first and play through
Brotherhood as Raiden from the get-go -- and,
just maybe, fool ourselves into thinking we're actually playing
Rising.
