RIFT will have an official booth at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne this week, the first in-person presence for the free-to-play fantasy MMORPG since Gamigo quietly continued service after the closure of original developer Trion Worlds. Both the community manager and the production manager confirmed they will staff the stand and invited attendees to “come and say hi”, hinting at an exclusive giveaway for visitors who stop by.
The announcement follows a small but live patch deployed on August 19 2025 introducing the Tendrils of Blight battle pass alongside minor fixes for gear appearance bugs. Although the update is light on headline features, its timing underscores that the team is actively maintaining the live servers nearly fourteen years after the game’s 2011 launch.
Anyone traveling to Koelnmesse can find the RIFT representatives on the show floor from August 20 to August 24 2025; further details are posted on the game’s official site here.
