New visuals revealed for MMO action RPG Soulframe
Soul framethe upcoming free-to-play fantasy action RPG, just received a new preview showcasing combat, quests, and character customization.
Developer Digital Extremes has revealed 30 minutes of footage from the game, showcasing quests, combat, and elements of the game’s character customization systems. The demo culminates in a boss fight, admittedly reminiscent of soulsborne titles like Elder Ring, seems to take a softer approach to melee combat.
Soul frame takes place in a beautiful fantasy universe, visually reminiscent of Final fantasy 16 or Elder Ring. Rather than offering the fast-paced combat of its sci-fi shooter sibling War frame, Soul frame opts for a slower, more conscious experience. We also got a taste of the game’s story, which offers a conflict between the forces, nature and industry, steeped in imaginative drama.
In soul frame, careful planning, dodging and parrying is the order of the day. The preview also showed off character customization, giving us a look at the Virtues system, which allows players to divide their physiques between Courage, Spirit, and Grace – representing the trifecta of strength, magical prowess, and agility.
We also got a glimpse of the Nightfold, the eerie parallel reality where the main character can retreat if you want to do some character management. Soul frame will use specific warrior archetypes known as Pacts. By allying with defeated bosses to acquire new Pacts, players can significantly influence the way their character plays, opening up a wide variety of different possible approaches.
The preview also showed off some of the game’s open-world elements, including an insectoid sleuth that was both cute and well-animated. Soul frame‘s move to the open world marks a departure from War frame in a big way, which tends to use self-contained instances for its environments which, while connected on an overworld map, tend to be very separate. Soul frameThe game’s missions, while procedurally generated, take place as part of a wider world, brought to life by impressive graphics and highly detailed environments.
While it’s still in its infancy, it’s clear that Digital Extremes has high hopes for it Soul frame. Since War frame is rightfully regarded as one of the best free games around, it seems Soul frame will be built on a solid foundation, incorporating a decade of lessons learned from Digital Extremes’ work on its sci-fi cousin.
