The events of Metal Gear Rising are set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4. The Patriots, a powerful shadow organization running the world's war economy, have been destroyed and Private Military Companies (PMC) have splintered into numerous factions. With the elimination of the Patriot-controlled nanomachine technology used to regulate soldiers' abilities, PMCs turn to advanced cyborg technology, creating durable superhuman soldiers.

The player controls Raiden, a former child soldier turned into a cyborg that now works for the PMC Maverick Securities. Raiden is supported by his Maverick colleagues, Russian pointman Boris Popov, military advisor Kevin Washington, computer specialist Courtney Collins, and cybernetics expert Wilhelm "Doktor" Voight.

Rival PMC Desperado Enterprises serve as the game's antagonists; Desperado wants to destabilize peaceful nations and preserve conflict, allowing them to reap the financial rewards and technological advancements of the war economy. Desperado operative Samuel Rodrigues, a.k.a. Jetstream Sam, serves as Raiden's rival with a conversation between the two in the beginning influencing Raiden.

Samuel (Jetstream Sam) Rodrigues is a member of a team of Desperado cyborg assassins named the "Winds of Destruction" and rival to Raiden. Sundowner is Desperado's defacto leader, he wields "Bloodlust". Mistral, the only female member, wields "L'Etranger" and Monsoon, uses a dual sai called "Dystopia". And lastly, LQ-84i, or Bladewolf; a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI).
