Digital Extremes has released the pre-alpha version of its new free-to-play game, Soulframe: Preludes. This means that during TennoCon 2025, everyone can try out this early version of the action MMORPG and see what it’s like. So, if you’re interested, you should download it now.
Soulframe: Preludes is an early test version of Soulframe, which has been in development for some time. The devs are using player feedback to help shape the game during this testing phase. There’s no release date yet for when the full version will come out. However, the team is adding new content to it on a regular basis, making the world and gameplay better over time.
Combat in Soulframe is all about swords and magic instead of fast guns. It’s slower than games like Warframe, and it focuses on good timing. You’ll need to dodge, block, and hit at just the right moment. Players can also make deals with spirits to unlock magic powers. You can change your weapons and armor, and choose different factions to play in your own way. There are even big animals like giant wolves you can ride while exploring the world.
The game is set in a beautiful world called Alca. You play as an Envoy, someone who brings balance between nature and machines. The story and world are inspired by movies like Princess Mononoke and The NeverEnding Story. The game has a big open world you can explore, with some parts made by hand and others randomly created. Unlike many dark and scary fantasy games, this one feels brighter and more hopeful. It’s all about fixing the world and discovering new places.
You can go ahead and download the game from its official website. To play it, you’ll need to create a game account. And that’s it. Do note that you’ll have to create an account by July 20 at 11:59PM ET to secure an Envoy name and explore all the 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.
Have fun!
