New RIFT expansion enters open beta today

It's been a while since I've heard anything about RIFT, but it's apparently still going strong Trion has put Nightmare Tide, RIFT's first major expansion since 2012's Storm Legion, into open beta today.  To access Nightmare Tide, players can open up Glyph (Trion's digital games platform), select RIFT, and then choose PTS from the list of servers in the top right corner.  You'll then be taken to the Plane of Water where you'll encounter new zones and quest lines, a new Rift type, increased level caps, and more.

Nightmare Tide will be available in its final form on October 8th and will be available for free.  Players can also get Collector's Editions that will give them an instant boost to level 60, new equipment slots, a shark mount, and other bonuses.
