The expansion “Nightmare Tides” for the Free2Play MMORPG Rift is set to be released on October 8.
At PAX Prime, it wasn’t just about ArcheAge: Trion Worlds also announced a release date for the expansion of its Free2Play game Rift. “Nightmare Tides” is set to be released on October 8. This is a substantial expansion. While it has relatively few new zones, they are quite large and feature multiple layers. Trion Worlds prefers to tell “less” stories but delve deeply into them, rather than fragmenting the narrative into small bites.
For the storyline, they seem to have drawn inspiration from Lovecraft and his C’thulhu mythos – anything related to the sea, horror, and madness naturally evokes the master of nebulous phrasing.
With “Nightmare Tides” comes new raids, dungeons, features (minion system), item slots: a lot of new content indeed. We have already introduced the expansion to you here.
Since transitioning to a Free2Play system, Rift seems to be doing quite well. It is regularly praised for its fair Free2Play system and how much fresh content it consistently brings into the game. Accordingly, Rift has also made it into our top 7 best Free2Play MMORPGs.
