During The Game Awards tonight, Microsoft revealed that the first downloadable content for Rise of the Tomb Raider, Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch, will launch in January 2016 on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

As posted on Xbox Wire, the content takes place in Siberia, where "there is a forbidden 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 what she finds is a nightmare that she cannot explain. Is the witch, Baba Yaga, truly haunting the forbidden forest? Or is there more to the legend?"

Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch will offer a new outfit and a new bow, and Microsoft says the content also "expands the story of the main campaign with Lara facing deadly new adversaries, exploring a new puzzle-filled tomb, and solving a decades old mystery, all culminating in a showdown with an ancient and mythic evil."
