New game from Digital Extremes: Soulframe

[farias]

A few hours ago during the Tennocon, Steve passed his role as the Creative Director of Warframe to Rebecca Ford and they presented a trailer for the upcoming game that he will be developing.
The name is Soulframe:

It seems the game is in the early stages of development and release date is still TBD, but there's already a website to sign up for updates and reserve a username:

https://www.soulframe.com/

Also hidden in the website is a small ARG, in which we found the first piece of the lore:

When day wrought night they did arrive​

Not sea nor hoof but from the sky​

Knight-maidens strong rode to face them​

Yet not a sword was drawn​

​

For within that night songs were cast​

And we who heard them lost our past​

Our virtues, love, and spirit fled​

So hollow was the dawn​

​

Now mothers send their children there​

To ode'n castles crowning air​

Returning spies to peel our thoughts​

With souls so twisted wrong​

​

New industry demands the Earth​

Our verdant fields bled grey of worth​

The beasts of feast now lost to famine​

Great Alca's flesh stripped raw​

​

While hope in us has come to rust​

Strange kin remain with the Alca's trust​

Cross distance shores old souls arise​

Relic wolf and bear, and faun​

​

Those we plundered now we seek​

For ancient ties that withered weak​

To cast a bargain entwining fate​

And reforging honored bonds...​

​

To the world.​

My first impression there is more of a fantasy feel that is nice but unfortunately wasn't too impressed by the trailer. However good thing the helpful moose arrived to help on time

When playing warframe now just pop over for the daily rewards sometimes, or check in for the new story quest and everything else is more or less the usual.


With Soulframe why couldn't they just make a game about a moose that would of been more different. Who would connect to the soul of the other creatures and play as various types such as birds, wolf, bear, etc etc

To find ways to create types of totems with unique combination not only for the ceremonies also to connect to the mythical forms, even become them.

Some are more stronger at night and others better in the day i like the idea of technology and fantasy mixed. Since some technology could be effective in situations while the fantasy of say magic could work just as effectively in a different way.

What if you wanted to look futuristic and have the ancient powers of mystics and vice versa.

Hopefully the gameplay demo is more appealing when that comes out?

I'm really enjoying the art and visual style being created for the game

I just caught wind of Soulframe, Digital Extremes' latest project, and I'm pretty excited to see what they have in store. I've always been a fan of Digital Extremes' work, especially their ability to craft engaging and innovative gameplay experiences. As someone who appreciates a good game of solitaire, I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting games to try out. Soulframe's concept seems quite intriguing, and I'm curious to see how they blend the elements of solitaire with their unique twist. It's always refreshing to see developers thinking outside the box and trying something new. I'm looking forward to giving Soulframe a go and seeing how it stacks up against other games in the genre.

There is something that i admire with DE and that the community are recognized and vital to progress development of the game.

This also goes for Em8er, Respark and others with potential to be great with the right support.
There could be people still playing warframe for sometime as long as the updates & interest continue.

Space ninja's is a nice concept and so is Space defenders from Oversized Kaiju doom etc
