Square Enix just announced Rise of the Tomb Raider, the latest installment in the series, will head to PS4 this October. What surprises me is Blood Ties DLC included in Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4 version will support PlayStation VR, allowing players to play Lara to explore the dangerous yet fascinating world in the first-person view. Although Blood Ties DLC will be also available for PC and Xbox One, it won't support VR on those platforms.

It may be a privilege for PS4 users but to experience Blood Ties content in VR, you need to purchase the headset as well as the game. Besides, you may want to think about whether it's worth it to purchase the game if all you care is how the game VR experience is like.

According to Square Enix, Blood Ties is a "new premium DLC, beckons players to explore Croft Manor in a new story mode; then defend it against a zombie invasion in Lara's Nightmare. When Lara's uncle contests ownership of the Manor, Lara must explore the estate to find proof that she is the rightful heir, or lose her birthright and father's secrets for good. Players can then test their zombie-killing skills in the replayable Lara's Nightmare mode: a haunted Croft Manor where players have new challenges and must rid the Manor of an evil presence."
