Digital Extremes is getting people all worked up about their next game in the line – Soulframe. They revealed the game through a devstream at the recent TennoCon’24.
We love the game. The game seems to have even breathtaking graphics and detailed mechanics similar to Elden Ring. But is the game trying to do something new at all or revving up elements of already existing games?
Soulframe Feels Too Familiar, and That’s Not a Bad Thing
The excitement started with the devstream of Soulframe during TennoCon 2024. This game seems to combine Warframe’s live-action mechanics with Elden Ring-like world creation that evokes a dynamic atmosphere. For this reason, fans have been pretty thrilled about this hybrid setup, which they feel may create a remarkable gameplay experience by borrowing from both titles.

Warsong Prologue was presented to gamers to show the various customizations possible in this game. The possibility of changing the player’s lineage including hair type, skin color, and eye color creates an intimate tone for this game.
This story lays a foundation for what will happen next i.e., into space where players take up the role of an Envoy thereby deepening knowledge about the past and also providing an original point for their character development. And the best part is, that Soulframe is completely free to play.
Soulframe’s combat is a blend of both strategy and fun. The player can use abilities like going invisible so that they can hit foes, which can be enormous monsters who have the power to use lightning. The trailer also showed a glimpse of “Verminia the Rat Witch” – an NPC who enhances players’ character looks and helps them with potions among others, thereby making gameplay more interesting for the players.
Despite the impressive showcase, it’s important to note that the gameplay footage presented was from a base build of the game, with many animations still in progress.
To be fair this was from the Tennocon stream and they did say that the animations were still in progress. This was a base build of the game but they are improving lots of it. It’s a story based souls game with warframe aesthetic from what I can assume

The devs emphasized that they are continuously improving the game’s visuals and mechanics, taking player feedback into account to refine the overall experience. This transparency about the game’s development process reassures fans that the final product will be polished and engaging.
Anticipation For The Fall Release
The game is all set to release soon. Meanwhile, the devs are taking in feedback from the community to improve the overall game. The community manager Sarah Asselin and creative director Geoff Crookes have highlighted the impact of player feedback on the game’s evolution.
It seems like the fans are particularly excited regarding the game’s release this fall. Warframe is already doing great. The Soulframe Preludes phase will open the game to more players, allowing for extensive feedback to further polish the final product. With games like Phantom Blade taking a dig at Elden Ring for their notorious difficulty, we have to wait and see what Soulframe offers.
The anticipation for the game is at an all-time high right now before the release date. Tweeters hit the spot right when they say that Soulframe is precisely a blend of Warframe and Elden Ring.
