Get Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance a week before its official release

250 gamers are being offered the chance to get their hands on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Konami has teamed with marketing agency Come Round to offer a select few who have pre-ordered a copy of the title from ShopTo.net a place at a special Metal Gear party at which they will receive their copies a week before the official release date on February 22nd.

Furthermore, attendees will also get the chance to meet none other than Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima himself. There’s also a free party pack on offer.

The event will take place on February 16th ahead of the game’s release on Xbox 360 and PS3 a week later.

We’re really excited to reward Metal Gear’s biggest fans with the opportunity to play the franchise’s latest series before anyone else,” Konami UK’s PR and marketing manager Brian Ayers stated.

This is a first for Konami and we really wanted to launch Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance with a bang. As one of the biggest releases of 2013, what better way to welcome Metal Gear back than with a national celebration?"

Gamers can apply to attend here.
