TennoCon 2022 was jam-packed with everything you never knew you needed to know about the future of Warframe and Digital Extremes. But there were two announcements that were far more important than the rest; Warframe is getting two massive updates, and Digital Extremes is partnering with Airship Syndicate to release a brand-new game; Soulframe.
Our first exposure to the name Soulframe was a few months ago in a European trademark application. At the time, we expected Soulframe to be a Soulslike minigame for Warframe. Now though, we know that Soulframe will be so much more than initially expected.
The new game, in partnership with Airship Syndicate – the name behind Battle Chasers – will be a free-to-play MMORPG, just like Warframe. Unlike Warframe, however, the new game will switch out the dystopian future setting for a brand-new high-fantasy world.
Soulframe’s Creative Director, Geoff Crookes, substantiated the new direction in a recent statement. ‘With Soulframe’s worldbuilding and thematic elements, we are really looking to go back to our childhood favorites and pull inspiration from the elaborate fantasy worlds that we fell in love with growing up.
Our team is really interested in this idea of nature and humanity colliding and we’ll be exploring a lot of those themes through our own lens while playing with ideas of restoration and exploration.’
If you’re looking to stay up-to-date on all things Soulframe, you can either head to the official website and register for updates, or simply follow the game on social media like Instagram and Youtube.
Cut back to the beginning of the year; we were all so excited for the Angels of the Zariman update in Warframe, which dropped in April. Now, we’re even more excited about the updates coming to Warframe. If Soulframe is anything like our favorite game from the Digital Extremes stable, it’s going to be one to watch very closely.
