Our take on Lost Rift
Rather than keeping survival, construction, and shooting in separate modes, Lost Rift places them in one loop: a personal island for preparation followed by timed expeditions on unstable islands. Its genre departure is the move between home-building and extraction combat.
What is Lost Rift?
Lost Rift combines first-person shooting, survival crafting, base building, quests, and multiplayer extraction expeditions.
Players begin at Pioneers’ Landing and explore an archipelago from a personal PvE island, where they gather materials, construct a camp, make equipment, and recruit survivors. Expeditions take place on other unstable islands and support cooperative PvE or PvPvE encounters focused on extracting valuable resources before time expires. Solo play and teams of up to 5 players are supported. Hurricanes, fires, lightning strikes, and dense fog affect the changing environment, while raiders and other players provide combat threats. Dedicated geo-located servers are used for PvE and PvPvE play.
