The Rift Announced

The Rift adds another piece to the February 1999 gaming business rush, from chats and contests to deals and studio moves.

The Rift has been announced, adding another target to a 1999 calendar already packed with more games and gear than anybody has time to play.

The names attached here include Coming, ThrushWave Technology, Proxima Centauri, Antares, and Jacob Viscero. The platform angle centers on PC. The hook is strategy. The hard numbers include Regulus 7.

It may not be the loudest headline of the month, but these deals, events, and announcements are the gears turning behind the games.
