WhileWarframeis developer Digital Extremes’ core focus, it’s also steadily working away onSoulframein the background. During TennoCon 2024, fans were shown a brand new slice of gameplay featuring some updates and new features coming to the game’s early access program,SoulframePreludes, later this year. Soulframeis a wonderful title that puts players in the role of an envoy in a world inspired by folk stories and tales of fae.
