Whereas Warframe continues to attract in tens of 1000’s of gamers every day and has a giant growth on the horizon too, there may be palpable pleasure for its fantasy cousin Soulframe. Whereas playtests have been ongoing for months now, the formidable MMORPG was set to open its doorways to all gamers this yr. Nevertheless, regardless of not too long ago being proven off at TennoCon, a brand new livestream from developer Digital Extremes has confirmed that Soulframe is not going to be popping out or opening up its pre-alpha Preludes in 2024 in spite of everything.
It isn’t massively stunning that this Soulframe launch date has been hit with a delay – whereas it has loved some gorgeous gameplay showcases, I by no means received the sense that it was wherever near a full launch, early entry launch, or perhaps a wide-scale open beta. Couple that with the truth that Digital Extremes has Warframe 1999 dropping earlier than the top of this yr too, and a pushback for the fantasy recreation appeared inevitable.
Whereas Digital Extremes had beforehand stated that it was additionally seeking to make its Preludes (that are Soulframe‘s pre-alpha builds which are being playtested and up to date repeatedly) extra open earlier than the top of 2024, that’s now taking a again seat as neighborhood director Megan Everett says that this will probably be a “2025 endeavor”
“We’re not going to open it up for a little bit bit, and the reason being it’s simply not fairly prepared for that when it comes to the long-term development stuff we have now to get to,” explains Digital Extremes CEO Steve Sinclair.
He additionally says that the “large push” on the studio to get Warframe 1999 out the door requires some sources to be moved round – I actually wouldn’t wish to launch a large growth and an open alpha or beta model for an MMO on the identical time, that sounds an excessive amount of like laborious work.
Regardless that DE is spending a little bit extra time on Soulframe, that doesn’t imply that you don’t have any likelihood of enjoying it now. Through the stream, the group reveals that 2,000 keys to Preludes are being given out every week and that very quickly it should begin permitting invited gamers to additionally carry 4 buddies together with them.

The hour-long stream additionally comprises a number of new gameplay and updates on numerous in-game techniques together with pacts, fight and motion, and rather more.
