Crytek today announced a new virtual reality game entitled The Climb.

The Oculus Rift exclusive sees players engage in free solo rock climbing in a range of locations around the globe.

Gameplay involves finding handholds and paths to the top of mountains while managing grip strength, using either an Xbox controller or the VR-specific Oculus Touch controller,

"The Climb is a beautiful combination of art and thrill that’s bringing an entirely new level of adventure gaming to Rift," said Oculus Head of Worldwide Studios Jason Rubin.

Crytek's Cevat Yerli chimed in, saying, "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."

No release date has been announced for The Climb - or the Oculus Rift, for that matter.
