Rift Apologizes For Big Q1 Update Delay, Reveals New Content Coming In April

If you’re wondering what happened to Rift’s big Q1 2022 update, well it seems that it’s been delayed but is still on track for release. The delay might have something to do with the recent layoffs that affected several MMO development teams except Fractured Online and which Gamigo still refuses to acknowledge or comment on.
“We know that all of you are waiting for the announced Q1 update, we need to inform you, that the update will not happen during Q1. We apologize that the update cannot be released as announced, but as you know, game content development can always experience delays that cannot be anticipated in advance. With that out of the way, we want to share some uplifting news.”
While it’s still unclear when the promised update will drop, the team did reveal information on a patch that’s scheduled to roll out sometime this month. The patch will introduce new Hellbug and Budgie CTA quests as well as reskinned mounts, and will kick off the Carnival of the Ascended and 11th Anniversary events. Battle Pass Season 1 will also be reset to allow veteran players who’ve previously completed the reward track to participate again and unlock more rewards.
More information can be found on the Rift official site.
