of our Lord 2015 – Feel the unrivaled adrenaline rush
of free solo rock climbing and encounter the majesty of nature
like never before in The Climb – a new virtual reality game from

Oculus Head of Worldwide Studios, Jason Rubin said: “Crytek is
renowned for leveraging their CRYENGINE tech to create
beautiful, immersive games. Their early VR demos really captured
public imagination, and to see their ideas come to life with
Rift is incredible and not to be missed. The Climb is a

entirely new level of adventure gaming to Rift.”

present in those scenarios like never before. The Climb invites
players to experience the intensity of one of the world’s most
dangerous sports, and they’ll truly feel the thrill of being
thousands of meters above the ground with nothing but their
skill and a few precarious handholds to rely on.”
