Ryse, a new game for Xbox One, shows of the power of the Roman Legion going to war with a rousing speech about comradery in amazing next-gen graphics.

Showing actual gameplay, the legion storms a beach as flaming arrows and rocks rain from the sky. With formation warfare and hack and slash style combat, as they approach an unknown city.

Fast-forwarding to a point where the leggionnaire Marius Titus is storming the city and taking down warriors with brutal moves. The violence seemed muted for the event, even with the odd bit of dismemberment. More blood and decapitation will be soon to follow.

It will also be an Xbox One Launch title in November.
