Due out later this year, players will be able to level to 65 and more.

Earlier today, Trion Worlds revealed RIFT's second expansion, titled Nightmare Tide. Slated to release later in 2014, players will be able to adventure beyond Telara and enter the Plane of Water itself. New story quests, five addition levels (taking the cap to 65), more artifacts to collect, new inventory slots and more will be waiting in these abyssal depths.

Before players can embark into the realm of water, they can expect to see at least one more major update. Patch 2.8: Madness Wakes will bring changes to the auction house, updates to multiple souls, as well as the release of The Nightmare Coast, the first dungeon for Nightmare Tide. A series of quests will also ramp up the story for the upcoming expansion.
