SOUL FRAME

After nearly a decade, the Warframe devs have a new game

- Samantha Greer 

It’s not the most original name is it? But it is a clear declaration of intent. One part Warframe, one part Dark Souls. Though like both those influences, it’ll be far from simple. Pitched as an online RPG, this action game looks to task players with protecting nature.

Warframe slowly crept into heavy narrative territory over its decade of existence, and Soulframe seems set to pick up the torch it carried, already emphasising the personal journey of the player character in its reveal trailer. This hero is vanquished from a zealous order and cast out into the wilderness where they’re rescued by nature itself. By the end of the trailer they’re ready to return the favour, drawing a mystical blade from the earth and turning their foes to stone.
