Free for All PC Players! Soulframe Transitions to PC Open Alpha on November 7

Digital Extremes will open its early Alpha playtest for Soulframe to PC players worldwide on November 7 KST. Alongside Soulframe Open Preludes, which transitions the game from closed alpha to open alpha, a new update for November will also be showcased.

In its monthly Devstream, the development team introduced the upcoming update, 'Verse of the Veilands.' The update includes an environmental-change-based world progression system, an 'Omen Wolf' mount, and new fishing content.

The new world progression system, 'Veilands,' becomes accessible after completing 'The Tormented Stag' Fable. Exploring the overworld of 'Alca,' players encounter new corruption spread by the invading 'Ode' forces. To earn a mount, players must complete a wolf pup's training and purify two Veilands regions. Feeding the wolf a 'Bairnday Biscuit' made from crafted ingredients then allows it to grow into an 'Omen Wolf' mount. The developers plan to further expand mount features in future updates.

The new character Pact, 'Ode Shrike,' utilizes the trapping technologies of the invading forces. It allows players to deploy spike traps, launch balloon darts that lift enemies into the air, cast bola chains that link damage, and throw evasive bombs for mobility.

The seasonal event 'Bita’s Eve' is also returning. Players can search for patches of 'Wintersquash' and challenge a newly appearing headless rider mini-boss, 'Veltruska.' The event offers limited-time rewards and a special fish, the 'Sunken Terror.'

Soulframe is an open-world fantasy adventure game currently in development by Digital Extremes, with Open Preludes playable on Windows PC. Players explore the open world, forge Pacts with 'Omen Beasts' to channel the abilities of ancient Ancestors, and heal the corrupted land. Completing story-driven quests called 'Fables,' discovering World Trees, and releasing captive animals sequentially unlock features such as co-op multiplayer, crafting, customization, weapon progression, and social mechanics.

Creative Director Geoff Crookes stated, "Soulframe has been a community-driven game from day one. We have shaped the game alongside the tight-knit player community that joined us for the closed alpha, and now we are ready to welcome even more players." The development team plans to continuously add new features while incorporating community feedback.

Digital Extremes is developing Soulframe alongside Warframe, which is celebrating its 12th anniversary of service. According to the company, Warframe has over 85 million registered players across all major gaming platforms. Detailed information regarding Soulframe Open Preludes and the update can be found on the official website and patch notes.
