Dead by Daylight's Entombment Rift: More Than Just Cosmetics, Or Is It?
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
IGN South Africa unveiled the trailer for Dead by Daylight's 'Entombment Rift,' prompting the age-old question: are these Rifts a fun way to earn cosmetics, or just another clever ploy to keep players grinding (and spending)? Probably a bit of both, really.
Right, so *Dead by Daylight* is at it again, this time with the "Entombment Rift." IGN South Africa dropped a trailer showcasing what's coming, and fair dinkum, it's... well, it's another Rift. If you're not familiar (and honestly, who could blame you?), Rifts are *Dead by Daylight*'s version of a battle pass, chucking a load of cosmetic items and challenges your way in exchange for your time (and sometimes, your money).
The trailer itself is a slickly produced montage of new outfits for both Killers and Survivors. We're talking the usual spooky chic: tattered clothing, ghostly makeup, the kind of stuff that makes you wonder how these characters manage to function in a chase without tripping over their own dramatic flair. (Seriously, try running from a chainsaw-wielding maniac in a floor-length gown. I dare you.)
But here's the thing: are these Rifts actually…good? Or are they just another way to keep us grinding away for digital trinkets? I reckon it’s a bit of both, mate. On one hand, the cosmetics can be genuinely cool, letting you personalize your favorite characters and show off your dedication (or, let's be honest, your addiction) to the game. On the other, the grind can be real. Some of the challenges are downright tedious, forcing you to play in ways you wouldn't normally, just to tick off a box. Sound familiar?
And let's be honest, the monetization model for these games can be a bit…aggressive. *Dead by Daylight* isn't exactly known for its generosity, and the constant stream of DLCs, Rifts, and cosmetic packs can leave your wallet feeling a bit lighter than you'd like. Is the Entombment Rift worth it? That depends. Do you *really* need that new outfit for The Spirit? (Probably not, she's already terrifying enough.) Are you chasing some value? If you're a completionist, it might scratch that itch. But it's the same old cycle of play, grind, unlock, repeat. So, dive in... if you dare! (And if your wallet allows.)
One last thing: IGN also shared a trailer for *Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2 - Rengoku & Tengen Dual Arts Trailer* if, for some reason, you want to switch from being chased to chasing (with swords, of course!).
(I’m not saying they're trying to distract us from something, but… well, you know.)
