What is happening now
Ryse: Son of Rome is a hack-and-slash action game set in Ancient Rome, available on PC and Xbox One since its 2013 release. The game was developed as an ambitious launch title that Crytek and Xbox envisioned as a flagship franchise, originally designed to span multiple historical periods in an Assassin's Creed-like structure. However, the game's critical and commercial underperformance ended those expansive plans. These days, Ryse has found new relevance through pricing. The game frequently drops to under $3 on Steam, making it an accessible entry point for players curious about its historical setting and combat-focused gameplay without significant financial commitment.
