It’s the perfect time to create two new packs to coincide with changing RIFT 4.0’s name to Prophecy of Ahnket! Don’t forget our special Free Expansion Weekend from May 10 to May 14 too!

RIFT PACKS TO ENHANCE YOUR GAMEPLAY!

Prophecy of Ahnket Access Pack – $19.99
Explore the Comet of Ahnket:

• Five massive new overland zones
• A new Raid: Tartaric Depths
• Gain access to earn levels 66-70, together with their Legendary abilities!
• Lots more content and features already in and coming later this year!
  All the glorious details are here: Prophecy of Ahnket

Celestial Adventurers Pack – $29.99
The coolest add-ons ever:

These packs go live on May 10, 2017 on our store.
Available on Steam on May 15th!

Did I miss something? What’s the PROPHECY OF AHNKET?

Going forward, RIFT 4.0 will be known as Prophecy of Ahnket. This name change will be reflected in game, on our website, in future emails, on ads, etc. And… that’s it, really. The only thing changing is the name.  It is more evocative of the lore – we hope you like the new name as much as we do! Read the RIFT Producer’s Letter for more information!

Wait – did you say something about free copies of the Prophcey of Ahnket expansion?

From the RIFT Producer’s Letter.:
“That’s right! To celebrate the new name, we’re giving EVERYBODY who logs in from May 10 – May 14 a copy of Prophecy of Ahnket if they do not already own it. You read that right: if you log in and haven’t obtained the expansion yet, you get a free copy to keep forever. EASY, right? Right!”

Everyone who logs in during the special promo weekend will receive a Prophecy of Ahnket Cache claimable on one of their characters! This incredible pack is stuffed full of awesome items.

Seriously, check it out:

Going forward, RIFT 4.0 will be known as Prophecy of Ahnket. This name change will be reflected in game, on our website, in future emails, on ads, etc. And… that’s it, really. The only thing changing is the name.  It is more evocative of the lore – we hope you like the new name as much as we do!

Why the change? We’ve recently become acquainted with a terrific children’s educational charity called the Starfall Education Foundation, and we want to make sure that the names are not confused. This also gives us the chance to start a new page in the history of RIFT by offering the expansion for FREE to anyone who logs in over the coming weekend!

Help us get the word out by whatever means necessary! Tell your friends, your frenemies, your random acquaintances on the street – we want everyone to take part!

Excited? We definitely are!
Of course, no matter how excited we are about this, we’ve got to get back to work. 4.2 isn’t going to design itself.

• Raid updates don’t end with Intrepid Rise of the Phoenix!  The guys are now circling back preparing the “normal mode” version of Tartaric Depths for those who appreciate a bit more of a challenge.
• Vladd has the Planar Fragment system under the microscope.  Expect some massive changes to the system over the coming months.
  The new Primalist Souls are still underway (remember, you get these at no additional cost if you already own or purchase the current Primalist soul pack!)
• Revisions to class balance continue apace – remember to post your thoughts on the PTS  forums as to how they are going there – PTS is your chance to take the soul revisions for a test run!

Make sure you tune in to our weekly livestreams at the new time of 11:30 AM PDT every Friday, for the latest news, fun times and giveaways!

We are now streaming simultaneously across Twitch (twitch.tv/trionworlds), Facebook (facebook.com/RIFTgame), Twitter (@RIFTgame) and YouTube (youtube.com/RIFTmmo). See you there!
