Digital Extremes reveals Soulframe secrets and Warframe links

Soulframe, the new over-the-shoulder fantasy MMO from Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe, is generating buzz with its nature-centric, methodical gameplay approach. Offering an expansive starting island, twice as large as Warframe's first open-world area, and featuring a Mastery Rank system akin to Warframe’s, Soulframe promises deep lore and engaging combat. The developers emphasize a more community-driven approach to development, reflecting lessons learned from Warframe’s extensive player interactions. The game's combat is slower-paced compared to Warframe, drawing inspiration from titles like Ghost of Tsushima and Breath of the Wild. Although there’s no official confirmation of crossover content with Warframe, potential ties between the two universes haven't been entirely ruled out.

Soulframe focuses on slower, more methodical combat with a strong emphasis on nature and ancestry, contrasting with Warframe’s fast-paced, industrial-themed gameplay. Additionally, Soulframe aims for deeper community-driven development and simpler, yet rich gameplay systems.

Warframe, released in 2013, has been celebrated for its cooperative gameplay and complex progression systems, supported by a strong player community. Soulframe looks to carve its own niche within the fantasy MMO genre by integrating themes of nature and restoration, appealing to fans of both Digital Extremes' existing and new audiences.
