TennoCon 2022 laid out 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 very 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 MMORPG, but unlike Warframe, the game will take place in a high-fantasy setting rather than a dystopian far future.
"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," said Soulframe Creative Director Geoff Crookes. "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."
Players looking to get updates on Soulframe can head to the official website where they can register their email (which will reserve their in-game name) by completing an interactive puzzle. You can also keep track of Soulsframe's development on Instagram and the new Soulframe YouTube channel, too.
In addition to Digital Extreme’s new game, the developer will turn publisher in a newly announced partnership with Airship Syndicate. Their upcoming third-person action MMO will be published by DE’s new publishing arm, continuing a collaboration with Airship Syndicate and co-founder Joe Madureira, who helped design the upcoming werewolf Warframe.
Elsewhere at TennoCon, Warframe's upcoming Veilbreaker update was previewed in a trailer that revealed a fan-favorite character will return from The New War expansion. The Duviri Paradox was also showcased in both a new trailer and a live event in Warframe. Players can access the Duviri Amphitheater to receive an introduction to the Firmament, a strangely feudal kingdom located in the Void.
