Warframe remains arguably the greatest success story in the history of the free-to-play genre, showing that a great game can remain popular for well over a decade by focusing on what players want. Very few other releases can claim to have a community as engaged, and it's iterating on their feedback that has given it that evergreen momentum that it has become known for.
That success has also thrust developer Digital Extremes into the very upper echelons of the industry, and they have been working away on a new game that has looked fascinating from the outset. Titled Soulframe, it's a very different proposition from its sci-fi looter shooter cousin, and it's about to take a huge next step that will allow players to get involved en masse for the first time.
In case you are yet to be introduced to it, Soulframe is an upcoming free-to-play, open-world fantasy action RPG that really doesn't look like much else out there right now. Though it shares some DNA with Warframe, it leans heavily into fantasy, and the game has a slower pace that accommodates the combat focus of melee and magic.
It's a really fascinating...
