Rift: Storm Legion release date announced, trailer released

Trion Worlds, the developer behind the cult-favorite MMO, Rift, has revealed a new trailer for their upcoming expansion pack today (Rift: Storm Legion) which gives us a great look at the new features being implemented and the monsters we're planning to kill.

The trailer pegs Storm Legion for release later this year on November 13. Let's just hope for Trion's sake that Mists of Pandaria flops (it wont) and everyone is sick of Guild Wars 2 by then. It's getting increasingly difficult for a mid-range MMO to survive in this industry, even if this mid-range MMO happens to be rather awesome.

Shootmania Storm getting two free modes at launch

Nadeo, the developer behind the enormous racing game Trackmania, has announced that their upcoming shooter, Shootmania Storm, will include two game modes that will be available for free to any user.

The two free modes will be called Royal and Elite. The former is a free-for-all mode in which players try to gain control of a point on the map (in other words, it sounds like FFA King of the Hill.)  

Elite will be a team based game in which two squads attack each other's base. Nadeo has also released a trailer detailing the two modes which you can see below.

We don't currently have a firm release date for Shootmania, but it is still set to release sometime in 2012. You can check out the announcement trailer here.
