TennoCon 2022 showcased the future of Warframe as well as Digital Extremes. Not only is Warframe getting two big updates (and of course, new Warframes), but Digital Extremes also announced a brand new game in early development and a publishing partnership with Airship Syndicate, the studio behind Battle Chasers and Darksiders Genesis.
First revealed in a European trademark application months ago, it turns out that Soulframe isn’t just a Soulslike minigame for Warframe. Just like Warframe, Soulframe will be a free-to-play action MMORPGbut unlike Warframe, the game will be set in a high fantasy setting rather than a dystopian distant future.
“With Soulframe’s world-building and themed elements, we’re really looking to go back to our childhood favorites and draw inspiration from the elaborate fantasy worlds we fell in love with growing up,” said Soulframe Creative Director Geoff. Crookes. “Our team is really interested in this idea of nature colliding with humanity and we will be exploring a lot of these themes through our own lens while playing with ideas of restoration and exploration.”
Players looking to get updates on Soulframe can head to the official site where they can register their email (which will reserve their name in-game) by completing an interactive puzzle. You can also follow the evolution of Soulsframe on instagram and the new Soulframe YouTube Channeltoo.
In addition to Digital Extreme’s new game, the developer will turn into a publisher under a new partnership with Airship Syndicate. Their next third-person action MMO will be published by DE’s new publishing arm, continuing a collaboration that began when Airship Syndicate co-founder Joe Madureira helped design the Coming Werewolf Warframe.
Elsewhere at TennoCon, Warframe’s upcoming Veilbreaker update was previewed in a trailer that revealed a fan-favorite character would be returning from The New War expansion. The Duviri Paradox has also been featured in both a new trailer and a live event in Warframe. Players can access the Duviri Amphitheater to receive an introduction to the Firmament, an eerily feudal realm set in the Void.
