Announced at TennoCon 2022, the fantasy MMO will be heavily inspired by the trio of nature, restoration and exploration themes.

Digital Extremes’ new game is still in the early stages of development. From the creative minds behind Warframe, Soulframe will offer its independent and uniquely immersive experience. The studio revealed more about the game in an interview with The Washington Post.

Warframe director Steve Sinclair explained, “Where ‘Warframe’ is focused on shooting, this one’s focused on melee. Where ‘Warframe’ is super fast and crazy high-speed, this one will be much more slow and heavy. But it still has a lot of similarities to the genre we have experience in.”

Creative director Geoff Crookes added, “The conceit is that the world itself is a little angry about what’s been done to it, and the grounds underneath tend to shift throughout the day, so there’s going to be proceduralism within the cave networks and crevasses and so on underneath the world.” The combat will also be slower than Warframe. Still, Digital Extremes firmly maintains that it is NOT a reaction to Elden Ring and its unbroken success. Sinclair adds that FromSoftware’s game did not influence their initial ideas and concepts.

“I think it certainly isn’t an inspiration for the initial ideas or what we wanted to do. Ironically, other titles that were maybe borrowing from Warframe might have been some reverse influence. But Elden Ring has been a subject of some conversation — maybe to do with the camera and how excellent their combat pacing is. And you know, screw those guys, because damn, Elden Ring was fantastic,” Sinclair said.

Soulframe has no release date yet. Digital Extremes is trying to be transparent with the development progress.
