Rift Events

Rift Events are dynamic world encounters where demonic portals tear open across INFERNA, unleashing waves of monsters and powerful guardians. These limited-time events provide excellent rewards and create exciting open-world PvE and PvP opportunities.

What Are Rifts?

When the ancient demon Infernumantis shattered the world during the Night of Infernumantis, he left permanent scars in reality. These Infernal Rifts randomly open across the world, spawning endless demons until sealed by brave adventurers.
