Updates

Since the first playtests, we’ve combed through every inch of the station to improve everything we could: visuals, interface, content, consistency, and overall game feel… In short, The RIFT has evolved a lot in preparation for this Next Fest. Here’s a look at what we’ve already revamped in-depth thanks to you:

• A full revamp of the 14 tutorial maps

• 1 brand new campaign map, alongside 2 existing ones that have been entirely reworked for the occasion

• First pass of ship customization (just the beginning — more to come)
