About
Lost Rift is a high-stakes first-person survival shooter adventure blending base-building, cooperative player-versus-environment, and intense player-versus-player-versus-environment gameplay. Designed for solo play and up to five-player cooperative play, explore the rich, immersive, and mysterious world where every decision can alter your fate.
You wash up on a beach at Pioneer’s Landing, one island in a beautiful and mysterious archipelago. On your player-versus-environment island, gather resources, build a camp, craft equipment, and use the flora and fauna to survive and prepare for intense player-versus-player-versus-environment expeditions.
With a focus on player freedom, your choices will shape the evolution of your journey. The islands are yours to conquer, not just in battle but in building your legacy as a survivor.
Key Features
- Build Your Ultimate Base Camp – Use your creativity to build a safe base camp anywhere on your player-versus-environment island. Use modular tiles and available materials to craft a unique shelter tailored to your style. Establish crafting and cooking stations to support your survival.
- Embark on Adrenaline-Fueled Expeditions – Face intense player-versus-player-versus-environment shootouts in the unstable zones of the archipelago, where every moment is a race against time and rivals. Risk it all for the most sought-after loot in an extraction mode that tests your mettle, shooting skill, and strategic route planning to emerge victorious.
- Endure Through Dynamic and Destructive Weather – Hurricanes, fires, and lightning strikes threaten your base. Strong winds and heavy rain make rivers treacherous to cross. Dense fog shrouds the islands in an eerie silence. Bravery is a necessity as you navigate these challenges and continue on your journey.
Lost Rift uses dedicated, geo-located servers to provide a smooth and consistent experience across player-versus-environment and player-versus-player-versus-environment.
