Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch

 
Are you ready to enter the Wicked Vale? Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch releases tomorrow, January 26th, for Xbox One and Xbox 360.
 
I am so excited for this DLC! I remember reading the story of Baba Yaga as a child. I loved 'Halloween themed' books. I can't wait to see how the developers incorporated the tale into Lara's world.
 
"Deep in the wilds of Siberia lies a forest that no man will enter, where a Soviet expedition vanished without a trace. Lara enters the Wicked Vale in search of a missing man, but she finds a nightmare that defies explanation. Is the witch, Baba Yaga, haunting the forest? Or is there more to the myth? Featuring three hours of new gameplay, Lara will face new adversaries, explore a new tomb, solve a decades old mystery, and face off against an ancient evil. Includes a new outfit, and a new bow."
 
The Temple of the Witch is included as part of the Season Pass, or available individually for $9.99.
