Synopsis

Rift (previously known as Rift: Planes of Telara, and as Heroes of Telara during alpha testing) is a fantasy free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Trion Worlds. Rift takes place within the fantasy world of Telara. Two competing factions, composed of a selection of races and classes, battle each other and the enemies who emerge from dynamic "rifts". The game was released in March 2011. A port of the game, called Rift Mobile, was released for Android on January 25, 2012. Rift received generally positive reviews from game critics. In August 2011, Trion announced that 1 million users/players have played the game and by January 2012 it had earned $100 million in total revenue. In March 2018, Trion launched the game's first progression server called Rift Prime, which features sequential expansions unlocked throughout the year, minimal cosmetic item shop and a fresh start for all characters created. This server requires a monthly subscription to play. A month after launch in April 2018, Trion called the server a "massive success" for the company, stating that the server had set new records for event participation and continued to have a strong active population. On October 22, 2018, Trion Worlds was acquired by Gamigo. Gamigo US subsequently took over the title of publisher and developer on October 26, 2018 after Trion Worlds was disbanded. On April 7, 2019, RIFT Prime closed down. Players were able to transfer their characters to RIFT Live.
