Microsoft has released the Ryse: Son of Rome launch trailer.

Crytek’s arm and leg slicing simulator hits this Friday, along with the Xbox One. We’ll have a review going up on Thursday, so keep an eye out for that. And in the meantime, get stuck into our Xbox One Launch Hub. There’s load of stuff in there.

  • Ok, death to the next company who uses Heart of Courage in their launch trailer.
  • That was a very cool trailer! Excitement overload.
  • Where the heck do I know that music from? Sounds very familiar but I can't place it.
  • Damn review embargo!!! Might be the last game I play from all the games that I get.
  • Just checked out the trailer on youtube as my phone refuses to play these videos and @1 its better than the somber plinky plonky piano music that does the rounds these days, but only slightly. Both are getting old.
  • Whatever happened to dubstep?
  • Wowser! Looks great. Still a review needs to be seen before I hand my money over just yet
  • @3 It's by a group called Two Steps From Hell and as #1 it's called Heart of Courage. They do a lot of music for movie trailers and such. They have about 800 videos or so on youtube.
  • Just finished paying it off at the store. All ready for midnight release.
  • I feel like playing Mass Effect 2 now...
  • Ugh, what a horrible looking game. I was excited for Dead Rising, but that got horrible reviews so I doubt Ryse even has a chance. This looks like a horrible QTE heavy, linear (practically on rails) game. The only people who think this looks cool people who think gore = a good game.
  • @ #13 Unlucky, but where are you getting these bad reviews from? From all I've seen are pretty good reviews, especially from here and OXM. About 8/10 average. So, what? A bad game to you is something underneath 10/10? Furthermore, you shouldn't always go by what other people tell you. Reviews can be helpful most of the time. But just go with what your mind thinks, not by somebody else's opinion. Then again, you have a pretty absent mind if you think that there are people out there who think gore only makes for a good game. Because there aren't. And it's pretty ironic coming from someone who thinks and 8/10 average is a "horrible review".
  • Am i the only that these videos just do not play for?
  • Ok nevermind im just a moron. Ghostery on my browser blocked it... DERP. Anyway the trailer looks cool but Two Steps From Hell music and especially that piece is way overused :) Sadly the game itself what i have seen from is a quicktime event and a corridor based game... Crytek from this trailer should start making CGI movies or series instead. That seems to come out better.
  • This wasnt a planned buy but I must admit Im very very tempted now. Only hearing good things. The only thing worrying me is the review embargo. I cant help but feel they have something to hide having the reviews only come out a day before release. PLEASE BE GOOD!!
  • Ryse looks good. Also I like the look of the Xbox One Launch Hub. :)
  • @ #19 Or like Infinity Blade, basically?
  • looks very good, can`t wait!!
  • Nice cinematics but I didn't see any war elephants being used in-game. Call me doubting Thomas...
  • Anyone else wondering why the hell there are elephants considering the "barbarians" are clearly based on Nomadic European tribes people i.e. Visigoths/Vandals?
  • @14 Don't feed the Trolls. His name and post count = @55 hole.
  • Hype Hype Hype...
  • Getting Ryse on launch! Anyone down for some Co-op feel free to add me :) gamertag: JordTDL
  • Just a hack 'n slash game.
