Riftstorm Early Access Trailer Released Ahead of August 11 Launch
The extraction-lite design, which softens the penalty for death, could make the genre more approachable for players who avoid hardcore extraction shooters.

Confiction Labs and Agate released a new trailer for the co-op extraction shooter Riftstorm, which enters early access on Steam for PC on August 11 after about five years of development. The game features an extraction-lite design, five playable characters, and a partially Japanese-supported demo.
The new trailer arrives after the July announcement that early access would begin on August 11, following roughly five years of development. The game is set on an Earth under attack by hostile Mythic creatures emerging from rifts, with players joining the secret society Mythic Protocol as elite Weavers who loot and escape.
Riftstorm supports single-player and online co-op for up to three players. Its extraction-lite approach means equipped weapons are not lost on death but become damaged, with mods turning negative, and players can leave mid-mission with partial success. At early access launch, there are five playable characters, about 30 initial weapons, dozens of Lythogram power-ups, and Periapt customization elements.
A demo updated at the end of July is available on Steam, offering four missions with higher-level characters. The introductory story is in English, but subsequent displays are in Japanese.
