Crytek has released two new sets of downloadable content for Ryse: Son of Rome‘s Gladiator co-op mode—one a free update, and the other a paid add-on.

The free update adds two new level events that will occur randomly across the game’s maps: a turret which launches arrows, and Reward Statues that can be used to increase health or focus. The paid for add-on is called the Colosseum Pack and includes two additional arenas and two new gladiator skins. The first arena, Henge, is set in a forest, while the second, Ascension, sees players fighting their way through Hades’ lair.

The two new gladiator skins are of Commodus, the twisted son of Emperor Nero, and a battle-tested Roman Centurion.

The Colosseum Pack will set you back $3.99, but its free for owners of the Ryse: Son of Rome DLC season pass, priced at $19.99.

An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
