Gamescom plans for the MMO Rift have been detailed by developer Adam Gershowitz this week.

In an interview with MMORPG.com, Gershowitz stated the team will be focusing on the “Endgame for All” content, features for the 1.5 game patch, the new Chronicle instance targeted to solo or duo sized groups, and the upcoming Weekend warfronts.

“Weekend warfronts are a way for us to spice up the normal warfront grind with fun new gameplay, and bonus rewards. Our first Weekend Warfront map takes place in Whitefall Steppes and introduces a new game mode called Escalation,” said Gershowitz.

“Escalation has similar mechanics to a traditional CTF map (Steal an object and bring it back to your base) but focuses on breaking many of the stalemate conditions that makes capture the flag frustrating. Each team needs to return three Power Crystals to their cannon to fire it and wipe the other team off the face of Telara.”

Additionally, players will get a look at the stories behind the corruption of King Molinar and the fall of Hammerknell Fortress.

The most recent patch for Rift went live earlier in the month and includes new PvP rifts, a new epic quest line, cross-shard grouping, and a new 10-player raid.
