Blade Wolf



The Bladewolf is a quadruped robot resembling Crying Wolf's beast form. Blueprints were downloaded into Raiden, an agent for the PMSC Maverick Security Consulting, Inc., during or prior to being severely injured in a mission. Maverick later recovered the cluster file, although they not only had to input a password to bypass the encryption process, but also enact an override system in the process.

Behind the scenes


The Bladewolf first appeared in promotional artwork in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance next to Raiden, back when the game was called Metal Gear Solid: Rising and when it took place between MGS2 and MGS4. Its similarities to Crying Wolf, as well as the original time frame, led to speculation as to whether she was to aid Raiden somehow.



The Bladewolf's name was given by a corrupted encrypted blueprint uploaded onto the "Make It Right: decryption" viral marketing website for Rising, by inputting the password "FOXALIVE." The password was also hinted at in the Facebook post informing the user of the upload, with the elements Fluorine, Osmium, Xenon, Arsenic, Lutetium, Iodine, Vanadium, and Europium.
