Hey everyone!
Get ready to play RIFTSTORM for free for two weeks! Our team is thrilled to announce that our Alpha Playtest will be going live on October 16, 7 PM PT until October 30, 7 PM PT. For those of you who have been with us since our Pre-Alpha builds, this playtest will be incorporating a few big updates to RIFTSTORM – some visible, some under-the-hood, but all of it is thanks to playtesters like you.
What’s New?
2 New Weavers
Rook
A fresh recruit kitted out with all tools of the Mythic Protocol trade, Rook is sassy to use, and powerful in the right hands. She is your combat all-rounder, armed with grenades, mines, and a single-target stun spell.
Thistle
A thief, a collector, and a Weaver all in one, Thistle carries mysterious occult tome with her into battle. Armed with powerful spells that can wipe out entire cohorts of mythics, Thistle is spell-casting powerhouse that requires precision timing and control to master.
Reworked Dungeon Systems
Our long-awaited Dungeon System Upgrade brings some graphical updates and mission variety to RIFTSTORM. Experience new larger maps across our sprawling Keystone missions, immerse yourself into the eerie world of the Occultical with our new biomes and lighting systems, and experience the new narrative arc with more agency and immersion than before.
Loot and Weapon Updates
New weapons are added to the roster as we roll out our much-requested crafting update. All weapons can now be dismantled for Scrap, and Scrap will now be used to Craft new weapons at random or via the newly implemented Dataseed system.
Accessing the Playtest
Access to our Alpha Playtest will be granted through our Store Page once the playtest period is live, running from October 16, 7 PM PT until October 30, 7 PM PT. Stay tuned for the announcement to be among the first to play.
Also, if you haven’t wishlisted our game yet, make sure to wishlist now!

Warmly,
Fayi and The RIFTSTORM Team
