Why Early Access?

“We believe that player feedback is the heart of our game’s growth. Throughout Early Access, we plan to collaborate with our community to enhance the game's quality, grow its world, and fine-tune the combat experience. Our goal is to reflect the player's suggestions and create a game that offers both fun and a rewarding sense of accomplishment.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to be in Early Access for about 1 to 2 years. We really want to use this time to listen to your feedback, add exciting new features, and polish every little detail to make the game the best it can be for players!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Here’s a look at what we’re bringing to the full release!

1. Bigger world: New regions with unique vibes and challenges.
2. More monsters: A huge variety of new enemies and bosses.
3. Better together: Upgraded co-op and a brand-new Battle Arena.
4. Total customization: Expanded weapons, gear, skills, and character options.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Not decided yet.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

About This Game

Shadow of the Rift: A Continent's Peace is Shattered

The land of Veridia, blessed with abundant life and rich resources, has known peace for generations. But that peace is shattered. From another dimension, a malevolent entity appears, tearing open dimensional rifts across the continent. From these rifts, it summons hordes of monsters, their minds and bodies twisted and corrupted by its vile magic. In an instant, Veridia is plunged into chaos and destruction.

In the midst of this turmoil, an ordinary young man from a small village, living a simple life of farming and hunting, awakens a dormant power within. To save Veridia and protect his home, he must take up the sword and accept his new destiny: to stand against this dark force and its legion.

Join the journey to restore peace to the continent of Veridia!

One Character, Endless Combat Styles

Play a single character and freely master multiple combat styles — melee, ranged, and magic.

As you adventure and wield different weapons, your proficiency grows.

Earn proficiency points to unlock and upgrade weapon-specific skills tied to how you play.

 

Weapon-Based Combat & Skill Progression

Your combat style is defined by the weapon you use.

Each weapon features its own unique skill tree,

and the more you use it, the more of its true potential you unlock.

Customize your build to match your playstyle

by freely combining melee, ranged, and magic skills into a combat style that’s truly your own.

 

Leveling and Upgrades

Hunt monsters to gain levels, and choose which stats to increase as your character grows. You can also upgrade your weapons and armor to make your character much stronger.

 

Item Crafting

Besides the items you get from monsters, you can find different materials in the world. Use them to craft special, rare items to make your character stand out.

 

Take Over Rifts and Expand Your Area

Enemies will appear from things called "Dimensional Rifts." You can fight to capture these rifts and expand the area you control. Once you capture a rift, you can use it to fast travel around the world.

 

Grow and Get Stronger

Your goal is to take over enemy land to make your territory bigger, and you’ll also need to defend your areas from enemy attacks.
