A Rift producer’s letter posted on the game’s official website has revealed that the next expansion for the game, Nightmare Tide, will hit later this year.
The expansion will take place in the Plane of Water, ”a realm of nightmares, dreams, madness and danger where you’ll encounter new foes, new allies, and confront plots that threaten the entirety of existence”.
”Nightmare Tide,” the letter reads, ”you’ll dive into adventures in brand new open-world zones and story quest lines. You’ll team up with other Ascended and test your mettle in new planar dungeons, raids, raid rifts and slivers. You’ll take part in massive dynamic battles in the Plane of Water, seek out new artifacts and collections, and craft new weapons and armor. Access to all of this content will remain absolutely free – part of our promise to you since converting to our highly successful Free-to-Play system.”
Alongside that players will be able to take part in ‘Nightmare Rifts’, scaled-difficulty events with adventurers facing off against “nearly endless” swarms of enemies. The developers are also increasing the level cap to 65.
