The expansion “Nightmare Tide” for the Dark Fantasy MMO Rift has been postponed by two weeks to October 22.
Yesterday we reported the news that “Nightmare Tide” is entering a one-week open beta. Shortly thereafter, Ocho, Community Manager at Trion Worlds, announced that the beta will last a little longer: The release of “Nightmare Tide” has been delayed.
There’s no big story behind it, no significant single event, but merely the realization that a little more time is needed to deliver an optimal outcome for the players.
“Release dates are tricky,” writes Ocho, “the only way to commit to them would be to release the expansion months after the work on it is completed.” The team has been working hard on the expansion of Rift over the past weeks and was eager to meet the set date of October 8. However, after a re-evaluation and feedback from the open beta, they now believe it is not a good idea to adhere to the deadline at all costs.
