Soulframe Preludes opens for everyone later this year

Digital Extremes announced during the first-ever Soulframe Devstream at TennoCon 2024 that the game’s early access program, Soulframe Preludes, will be opening up to the public in fall 2024. This means that anybody will be able to sign up on the official Soulframe website, reserve their Envoy name, and almost instantly get into the game.

At the time of writing, anybody can sign up and reserve their Envoy name for Soulframe, but invites are sent out every week on a first-come-first-served basis. This means that there’s sometimes quite a long delay between signing up and getting an invitation. Fall 2024 will see the system completely change, opening the game up to so many more players and allowing the fan base to grow exponentially.

Reserve your Envoy name now just in case

Digital Extremes didn’t confirm the exact date for Soulframe Preludes applications opening up, but it will be within the months of Q3 2024 because Warframe: 1999 is launching in winter 2024. While the game offers a very different experience from the developer’s flagship title, it’s still worth playing for its unique take on the ARPG genre.

In the game’s first devstream, Digital Extremes revealed the latest Ancestor that you’ll be able to rescue in the next update to Soulframe Preludes. Verminia The Rat Witch is just one of the Ancestors that players will bring to their Nighthold, where she’ll mix Elixirs for them and customize their appearance as well.

Each Ancestor is a new progression path for you to follow, meaning each one gives you even more to do in the game once you find and rescue them. TennoCon 2024 also teased a new world boss for Soulframe, a giant, corrupted bear that looks as though it could cause you some real trouble when it finally comes to the game in a future update.

If you’re on the fence about playing Soulframe Preludes, think of it as an early access game. Digital Extremes wants to develop this game with its community. Warframe has been improved upon over the years based on player feedback, and that’s what the developer wants to do with this second game. It knows that it needs its players and their views on what direction the game’s systems should take if it’s going to do as well as its last one, and it’s dedicated to creating the best possible game it can.
