Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 'Jetstream' DLC arrives this week, with Samuel Rodrigues as a playable character

The first character-centric DLC for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on April 9th/10th, Konami has announced.

Entitled ‘Jetstream’, the new content focuses on the character Sam, seen in the full game. The new DLC adds a new chapter to the main game, and delves into the motivation and origins of the character. Segueing into the events of Raiden’s plotline, Jetstream’s side story features Samuel Rodrigues as a playable character.

Sam - AKA the ‘Cool Brazilian wind’ -  was a lone swordsman who brought terror and chaos to the underworld in Latin America. Having slashed through the world's outlaws as part of his training, he arrives in Denver, Colorado. During the course of the DLC, users can experience the events when he challenges ‘World Marshall" to test his skills.

The ‘Jetstream’ pack will cost €9.99/£7.99 for the PlayStation 3 or 800 Microsoft Points. A third DLC pack, focusing on the robotic Blade Wolf character will follow soon after, with details announced soon.
