Ryse PC release date revealed

The PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome launches on 10th October 2014.

That's according to the game's Steam page. There it costs £34.99.

Developer Crytek is self-publishing the digital version of the gory action game. Publisher Deep Silver will distribute a boxed version.

The PC release supports 4K resolution and includes all Ryse DLC packs that have released since the game's launch on Xbox One in November 2013.

The DLC includes the Colosseum Pack, the Mars' Chosen Pack, the Duel of Fates Pack and the Morituri Pack. The PC version also grants instant access to the Ruins multiplayer map and the Legionnaire's Trust sword, which were initially bundled with the special edition of the game for Xbox One.
