Rift: Storm Legion trebles the size of the game, fills it with colossal beasts

Storm Legion trebles the size of Rift’s already-huge MMORPG world. Senior designer William Cook flashes up the game’s map for me, showing the play area of the original Rift. The two new continents the studio are adding are each as big as the original game. More space is always nice, but the reason that they need these new continents is the scale of some of the enemies: ‘colossi’ encountered on the new continent are humungo-scale monstrosities, often the size of tower blocks.
