Crytek and Machinima are bringing Ryse: Son of Rome to a tiny desktop theater near you in a four-part live-action series. The new web series starts next week on Machinima's YouTube channel and there is sure to a lot of hackin' and slashin'.

Ryse: Son of Rome is an day-one Xbox One exclusive that you can play with your new shiny Xbox on November 22.
