Trion Worlds has announced that the fifth major Rift update, “Ashes of History”, will increase the level cap, add a new PvP region, new epic missions and rewards, subscriber rewards and a new utility.
The bullet-list of features in the upcoming update include:
* Planar Attunement - Advance beyond level 50 with Planar Attunement. Every quest completed and planespawn slain brings you closer to your next planar upgrade.
-
Chronicles - Teams of two players (or one, if you’ve got the gear) can take on Rift Chronicles, exploring breathtaking dungeons — including Greenscale’s Blight, Hammerknell, and the Chronicles of Attunement—in fun, story-driven
-
New Warfront: Library of the Runemasters - PvP combat erupts in Hammerknell’s Library of the Runemasters. Race the enemy faction to control Dwarven secrets, and rise through the ranks in this pulse-pounding new Warfront.
-
Master Dungeon – Darkening Deeps now sports a Master Dungeon mode. Rebalanced for elite groups of Ascended, the Master Dungeon holds epic challenges and epic rewards.
-
Veteran Rewards - Subscribers earn rewards the longer they play Rift, including special gear, a personal vendor, and a portable mailbox.
-
AddOns Beta – Customize your play with new AddOns Beta, fan-created mods for your Rift user interface.
The “Ashes of History” will be released sometime next week.
