For the dark fantasy MMO Rift the new content patch 3.1 has been released last week. The trailer shows a distinct steam-punk orientation.
Steam-punk refers to a genre that leans toward “old-fashioned science fiction”, featuring steam-driven, mechanical robots. A world where everything crashes, hisses, and hums. As if the fever-dream technological fantasies circulating in late 19th century Victorian England had come true, and as if it were no problem to create an artificial intelligence from a tangle of gears, oil, and a lot of metal.
In the quite barren world of Rift, this aesthetic is embraced with patch 3.1. “Storm at Sea”. What awaits players on the new island and especially in the 3-boss raid Tyrannenschmiede, we have already introduced to you here.
