A new free-to-play game from the studio behind online sci-fi ARPG Warframe was teased during the TennoCon 2022 livestream today, taking the action MMORPG shenanigans into the realm of fantasy. Called Soulframe, we don’t know a lot about it yet, but developers Digital Extremes showed off some early footage. Replace your space pantaloons with your wizard robe before you watch the very first trailer below.
Digital Extremes has announced during TennoCon 2022 that it's started development on a whole new game. Titled Soulframe, the team led by former Warframe senior staff Jeff Ross and Steve Sinclair, is a fantasy title — drifting away from the sci-fi setting Warframe has established over the past seven years.
In their place, Rebecca Ford is taking over as lead creative director on Warframe. In an interview with us shortly before TennoCon, she took us through the change, as well as how she’s been secretly leading the team over the past six months.
“It's a lot. It's overwhelming, it's exciting. It's fundamentally something I didn't know I wanted to do. But now that I've been doing it for six months, I feel that I can take good care of Warframe. We've been in this really weird situation right now where no one knows, even though it's been happening for six months. The team at Digital Extremes wanted me to know that I wanted to do it. They didn't want to throw me to the wolf-frame, so to speak, and not give me a chance to say ‘whoa, this is not what I expected. That's not for me.'”
More of online sci-fi action RPG Warframe’s upcoming The Duviri Paradox expansion was shown off at today’s TennoCon 2022 event. We got to take a look at some of the roguelite flavour that’s been injected into the expansion’s mostly monochrome open-world. Dress like a mime when you watch the trailer below, so you can silently ooh, ahh and quizzically scratch your head.
