From left to right: Vamp, Meryl, Raiden, Ocelot, Snake, Otacon, What Appears to be the corpse of Big Boss, and a mysterious cloaked woman
At this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3), Hideo Kojima revealed slight, almost insignificant details about MGS4. Among them was the revelation of Meryl Silverburgh's return to the series. Following a comical promo video establishing the party's involved, as well as establishing Solid Snake as the main character, Kojima released a piece of artwork by Yoji Shinkawa, the mechanical designer of the series, which shows a vague portrait of MGS4's main characters. Some of the characters should appear familiar to fans of the series, except for the mysterious cloaked woman at the end. The observant will notice that the soldier holding a baby in one hand and a katana in the other is none other the Jack/Raiden from MGS2.
