RIFTSTORM is a co-op PvE loot shooter set in a rift horror world: solo or in a trio against supernatural Mythics, collecting loot and weapon mods, deciding for yourself when to extract. Deliberately not a hardcore title, built around power fantasy and a softer loss system.

About the game

RIFTSTORM is a co-op PvE extraction loot shooter from Confiction Labs, set in the world of the Mythic Protocol, a secret organization tasked with containing supernatural rifts to another realm and the creatures, called Mythics, that pour out of them. You play a Weaver, an elite operative wielding rift energy and experimental technology, solo or in a squad of up to three. The core loop follows extraction conventions: complete objectives in procedurally generated and curated missions, collect weapons and in-mission upgrades called Lythograms, and build your loadout on the fly by stacking modifiers and triggering synergies. Optional Rift Exposure Zones offer better loot at higher risk for squads willing to push deeper. Five playable Weavers are available at launch (Rook, Starling, Hertz, Botsy, Caracal), each with their own role and combat style, alongside tiered Threat Levels ranging from curated and balanced to experimental and hard. What sets RIFTSTORM apart from classic extraction shooters is its loss system. Failing to extract still costs you the loot gathered during the run, but weapons you brought in aren't fully lost, instead they get "scarred," swapping one mod for a random negative one while remaining usable. RIFTSTORM explicitly doesn't aim for hardcore, gear fear style tension, positioning itself instead as an accessible, power fantasy focused loot shooter that leaves the risk level up to you. The game has been in Early Access since August 11, 2026, with a planned development window of roughly 18 to 24 months bringing additional Weavers, weapons, a deeper progression system (Periapt Augments), and an endgame mode. RIFTSTORM requires a constant internet connection, including for solo play.
