Surprisingly, Digital Extremes has announced a new title called Soulframe. The Warframe developer made the announcement during the TennoCon keynote. The team introduced their new project to the world through a cinematic trailer. For Soulframe, Digital Extremes will move away from the sci-fi that proved to be a big success for them with Warframe and instead explore a fantasy setting.
“With the world-building and thematic elements of Soulframe, we’re really looking to go back to our childhood favorites and take inspiration from the complex fantasy worlds we fell in love with growing up,” said Soulframe Creative Director Jeff Crooks. “Our team is really interested in this idea of nature and humanity colliding, and we’re going to explore a lot of these themes through our own lens as we play with ideas of restoration and exploration.”
In the trailer, we get to see a figure with a prosthetic limb washed up on the beach, then witness the same figure fighting enemies using a seemingly magical sword. They were able to use magic to strike and freeze enemies before eventually freeing a huge wolf that had been chained up. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any gameplay, and the release date is far enough away that the team hasn’t even hinted at when it might be.
This is Digital Extremes’ first new game since Warframe launched in 2013. Many of Warframe’s top executives will be transitioning to the project. In great news for many fans of the game, Rebecca Ford, known to the passionate fanbase as Space Mom, will be stepping into the role of Game Director for Warframe.
