It\u2019s set in a lush, pastoral world with some concerning rot at its heart, as players saw in an extended gameplay preview from the TennoCon main stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The live demo showed a quest called the Fable of Bromius, the mildly devastating story of a magical bear who becomes corrupted by dark powers. The roughly 30-minute gameplay chunk showcased a ranged\/caster build for the player character, the Envoy. They were able to fling magic from their staff and switch ably to bow or short knife during combat. They also had some interesting additional magical powers, like the ability to transform into a cloud of butterflies for stealth, or create what looked like a big-headed exploding decoy Envoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I won\u2019t spoil the end of the demo, but there were portions that hint that this game isn\u2019t your typical Souls-like fantasy RPG. There are some story turns that hint at big swings similar to what Digital Extremes\u2019 narrative team has done in <em>Warframe<\/em>, that made me quite curious about where the game is going. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Digital Extremes continues to expand the world of <em>Soulframe<\/em>. Earlier this year, it launched in-game factions and, more importantly, puppies. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalextremes.com\/news\/warframe-devstream-184-soulframe-devstream-4\">A January 2025 update<\/a> featured a questline called \u201cThe Shewolf Snared,\u201d in which players can rescue a wolf pup that becomes a loyal companion. Although <em>Soulframe<\/em> remains in an alpha state, the team confirmed that their goal is to move forward without doing any more account resets \u2014 so when you get your puppy, it\u2019s here to stay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/gaming\/614126\/soulframe-alpha-tennocon-2025-free\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever wanted to kill someone with a leaf and adopt a wolf puppy, now is your chance: Soulframe\u2019s pre-alpha build is open to the public for a limited time.
