00:00Cairn is what we call a survival climber.

00:03Your goal is to climb a mountain and reach a summit no one has ever conquered.

00:08You can climb almost anywhere and the climbing mechanics are highly realistic.

00:13You'll need to carefully manage your balance and stamina.

00:16Make a mistake and you'll fall and get hurt.

00:20For the first time, we are also showing what it's like to climb at high altitudes.

00:24When you get up there, you'll face ice holes that require to use ice axes and spikes.

00:32But don't think you can just jam your tools into the ice.

00:36Ice climbing is precise.

00:39You'll need to aim for cracks and edges to get a solid grip.

00:44Cairn's realistic climbing system also supports mixed climbing.

00:49That means you can have one end on the rock and the other using an ice tool.

00:54It's up to you to read the rock face and choose the most strategic route to the top.

01:01Cairn is coming up on PlayStation 5 and Steam later this year.

01:05You can already give it a try in the demo available on PC and PS5.
