Digital Extremes – the studio behind free-to-play sci-fi shooter Warframe, has announced Soulframe, a new fantasy themed action-MMORPG set in a sister universe to Warframe.
Soulframe will be Digital Extremes’ first new game in over five years, following on from 2017’s short-lived team-based FPS The Amazing Eternals, but details remain slight at this juncture.
Like its predecessor, Soulframe will adopt a free-to-play model when it eventually arrives at some unspecified future point, and Digital Extremes has shared a few additional details in an interview with The Washington Post. Here, it explains Soulframe will be built around “slow and heavy” melee combat, have a focus on exploration, and will feature a hub world similar to Warframe’s open-world planets. That world is said to be “a little angry about what’s been done to it”, causing the ground to shift throughout the day – leading to some proceduralism within the (presumably explorable) cave networks and crevasses beneath its surface.
