The folks at The Snake Soup spotted the updated Raiden render while playing a bit of Metal Gear Solid: Piece Walker, the recently launched multiplayer jigsaw puzzle game from Kojima Productions. Maybe there are more surprises buried within that online game.

And maybe we’ll see a bit more of Raiden and Metal Gear Solid: Rising at this year’s E3.
