About the Game


RIFT is a massively multiplayer online adventure (MMORPG) set in the dynamic fantasy universe of Telara. You are an Ascended, a hero of Telara, protecting your land against invaders from the elemental Planes. Telara is a realm where battles can begin anywhere at any time. Stay on your guard and fight for glory!

With a robust character creation system and boundless universe, RIFT offers a huge range of gameplay with ever-growing content and performance improvements. Oh, and it’s absolutely FREE TO PLAY! No tricks, no traps!


Create a character and class to fit the way you play. Start by choosing from two factions, each with three races, and dozens of unique Souls, each with hundreds of traits and abilities. Mix and match on the fly and re-specialize anytime you like.


If you love a particular armor look but the stats are not great for your character build, it's no problem! Every armor or costume piece you get is saved for you to use across all your characters as a costume! Show off your fashion sense to everyone who is blessed enough to see you!


Telara is a living, dynamic world where chaos can erupt at any moment. Whether you’re battling planar invasions or ancient titans alongside scores of your fellow Ascended, the next adventure is always near!


Join other heroes on Instant, Intrepid or Celestial adventures and visit places you've only dared to dream about! These adventures will port you place to place to battle the next scourge threatening the lands of Telara!


In the deep, dark places of Telara, foul creatures breed, scheme, and hoard the treasures of ages. Gather your friends and delve into dozens of dungeons and raids for groups of 2, 5, 10, and 20 players.
