Fresh Souls for the Dark MMO
What does the demo offer? Soulframe is currently in an early stage and is steadily evolving. This type of early access to the game is termed “Soulframe Preludes” by Digital Extremes. As the team announced on the homepage, the non-disclosure agreement was lifted yesterday, allowing all participants to share their experiences and content from the demo.
In the demo itself, you can, for example, get to know the first characters, explore places, complete quests, and try out the combat system. However, the content is still in development and may change at any time, sometimes drastically.
Anyone playing the demo should also expect that the game state will be reset multiple times during the development period. In a developer stream on YouTube, the likely transition from the Preludes to open access for everyone was announced for the year 2025.
What is known about Soulframe: The new fantasy MMORPG from the creators of Warframe is also set to be free-to-play upon release, like its older brother, and will revolve around the conflict between technology and nature in its storyline.
Gameplay-wise, it is expected to be a mix of a cooperative game and an action MMO. However, the battles are said to be much slower and more strategic than what is familiar from Warframe. You will be able to explore the world in an open world environment and tackle procedurally generated instances – all wrapped in a mystical fantasy setting.
Anyone who inevitably thinks of titles like Dark Souls at the mention of “Soulframe” is not alone. Why Digital Extremes decided on this name can be read here: The new MMO from the creators of Warframe struggles with the name “Soulframe” because it sounds like “Dark Souls”
