From the darkest depths of the universe death is inescapable - like a cold shadow, its tendrils seek out and suffocate life leaving only desolation in its wake.

Regulos, the Devourer Of Worlds - the reverent leader of the Blood Storm already once weakened and banished beyond the ward, has found a way to seep his influence into Telara once more. From the horror-bound plains of Seratos & Morban, his Endless have corrupted all in their wake as he broods to push his final opus through the ward and extinguish the light of this precious world once and for all.

Crucia has been defeated, but all is not as it seems & the Infinity Gate gains more power everyday - These are dark and dangerous days, Ascended, and we fear that it will only get darker before the dawn.

The fate of all rests with you once again!

RIFT: 2.1 Endless Eclipse is another Action-Packed Update, the first following the release of our first expansion - Storm Legion

Here's what you have to look forward to:
- The newest 20 man raid, "Endless Eclipse", finally face Regulos head on!
- Level 60 Chronicle "A Hero Rises", uncover the full story of Miela & Crucia as you rush to save Tempest Bay from Annihilation.
- And take part in the return of Fae Yule, our Holiday World Event is bigger and better than ever with all new items to earn and games to play (did someone say sledding?), weeeeeeee!

Get all the details - RIFT 2.1: Endless Eclipse, COMING SOON!

Okay so Rift 2.1 kill Regulos. Then what?!?!?!? He's the big bad of the whole game. I know they will have something but what could it be?
