LONDON, ONTARIO – July 19, 2025 | Digital Extremes held its latest Soulframe Devstream live from its 10th annual TennoCon. The development team behind the upcoming free-to-play fantasy action RPG revealed some details about Soulframe.
Additional reveals included a full look at the Bromius Omen Beast boss fight, a new enemy named Wazzard of Wastes, and the hazardous Neath’uns underbelly. The team also highlighted plans for enhanced character customization and a vision for what combat progression will look like in future Preludes updates.
“Over a year now of players going hands-on with Soulframe in our Preludes pre-alpha builds, we’ve learned so many lessons and built a lot of new features for us as a studio,” said Geoff Crookes, Creative Director of Soulframe. “After last TennoCon, we put a huge amount of effort into improving combat fluidity and continued that passionate work into exploring brand new features like player social hubs, asynchronous player messaging with World Trees, among so many other additions. Today, we shared what the latest additions to our next Preludes build would be and beyond. We promise to all existing and future players to keep trying new things outside our comfort zone and work with you to create something we’ve all been looking for.”
- SOULFRAME ACCESS FOR ALL: Digital Extremes invites all players interested in the game to join its growing community. Create an account at Soulframe.com by July 20 at 11:59 p.m. ET to secure an Envoy name and explore all content and adventures Soulframe Preludes currently has to offer. Players can continue to access Soulframe Preludes until the game’s full public launch. Once the open sign-up window has closed, players may still sign up, but will wait in the sign-up queue until additional access is available.
- NEW ENEMY, WAZZARD OF WASTES: Seek out the source of the rot within the heart of the Galvinar swamp, the Wazzard of Wastes. Today’s gameplay demo showcased this magical mini-boss with a fresh look at Magick-focused combat, featuring a fresh parry feature capable of reflecting projectiles back at the tainted thaumaturge.
- BROMIUS BOSS FIGHT / NEATH’UNS ENVIRONMENT: After its initial tease, TennoCon attendees and viewers were treated to the next Omen Beast boss fight: Bromius. Explore the Neath’uns underground full of corrupted Sproutfolk and environmental puzzles hindering the rehabilitation of the mutated three-headed Bromius from sinister whispers within the dark, tainted sap.
- CHARACTER HAIR CUSTOMIZATION: The first set of hairstyles available for players to customize their Envoy was showcased by the development team. Eight different hairstyle cosmetics are in production, with additional customizations for Envoys to emblazon themselves still to come.
- CUSTOMIZED COMBAT PROGRESSION: Inspired by historical medieval martial arts manuals, the Soulframe team shared a stylistic and customizable approach to skill progression and combat techniques to suit individual playstyle preferences. Viable offensive and defensive build options can be mixed and matched from close-range melee focused on creating space with dodges, ranged damage that can close the gap with timed parries, to more supportive roles, and other combinations.
This progression approach allows individuals to tailor their Envoy’s strengths to their preferred playstyle and becomes additive to situational party composition makeups when playing with others cooperatively across a variety of encounters.
