Riders of Icarus, the free-to-play action-adventure game that combines the fantasy of an RPG with the ability to tame and collect a vast number of unique creatures, has introduced another new zone for players to explore and conquer. Available to all players level 35 and above, the “Rift of the Damned” update expands the beautiful world of Riders of Icarus with a realm completely suspended in the sky. The update also delivers more flying mounts for Riders to capture and take into battle against grandiose new bosses on their quest to reach the new level cap of 40.
Hoon Seok, producer of Riders of Icarus spoke about the new update, saying:
“The Rift of the Damned is one of our most unique content updates yet. The otherworldly lore behind this area allowed us to make some very different design choices regarding the environment and mounts, many of which were inspired by player feedback. We look forward to learning what our community thinks of the new zone and everything within it, and hope the content will entice new players to join the adventure as well.”
The twilit new realm, Tritael Rift, is a prime zone for mounted aerial combat, and players should stay alert for the creatures adept at using the darkness of this cataclysmic rift to their advantage. New warped “Void” mounts are now available for players to collect, each more challenging to tame than the last.
The news comes not long after Riders of Icarus reached 1 Million Open Beta players, as well as a new trailer. At the time, Hoon Seok, the game’s producer at WeMade, spoke about the game, saying:
“We are thrilled and humbled by the reception of Riders of Icarus in the west. We are committed to ensuring our players’ experience in Riders of Icarus is one-of-a-kind, and part of that commitment comes from continuing to support the players who have brought the game this far. We hope they’ll continue on the journey with us as we add more content and features to the game, and look forward to welcoming new players as well.”
