At its TennoCon 2024 fan event earlier today, Digital Extremes brought us a new look at Soulframe, its upcoming medieval fantasy "sister game" to Warframe. Like Warframe, it's an "action-RPG, MMO-lite" free-to-play game, albeit with a slower, more deliberate pace to its melee-heavy combat compared to Warframe's space ninja acrobatics. Oh, and you can make your mom in it.
In an advanced press preview of this year's TennoCon demo, DE showed off the introductory section of the game's opening story quest, during which you'll create your character. A cutscene follows a bird flying in a rainstorm over a sprawling fantasy battle at night, where an army is besieging a castle with catapults and battle magic. A narrator recites the tale of the battle in skaldic verse, and as the bird flits in through the castle window to show a woman cradling a baby in her arms, the game enters the first phase of character customization: momcrafting.
