Storm Legion will include RIFT for free
RIFT is gearing up for its first expansion later this year, but the staff at Trion Worlds doesn't want to lock out people who've never tried the base game. That's why you don't have to worry about buying an expensive expansion on top of a main game: Storm Legion will apparently include the full version of RIFT along with it, allowing new players to pick up the expansion and experience both the core game and the additions without restriction. Of course, this sounds like less of a deal if you already own RIFT, but you're covered there as well, as existing players can expect a price discount on purchasing the expansion. So if you want to enjoy the increased level cap, better crafting, and new souls, you won't have to pay full retail price for the experience. It's a good deal for existing fans and new players alike -- and one that may help encourage more players to give Storm Legion a shot.
Aika teases their upcoming expansion
If you're a fan of Aika, times have been kind. The unfortunate business with the cash shop has been resolved equitably, and there's a new large-scale arena in town to help strengthen the game's focus on epic PvP. All that would be enough to keep players content for some time, but rather than resting on their laurels, the development team is planning a brand-new expansion. And it promises to be large... if the screenshot above is to be believed, it may even be dinosauric. Titled Ashes of Betrayal, the expansion promises to include a large amount of new content as well as an increase in the level cap. While there aren't many details available at this point on the specifics, the team is shooting for a mid-June release. Like Aika itself, the expansion promises to be free, so keep your eyes peeled for more news on what's coming down the pipe. Considering how quickly the expansion is coming and how recently the game was released, the future looks bright.
