During TennoCon 2022, Digital Extremes showcased the first trailer of Soulframe, its upcoming action hybrid MMORPG that will be available for free. While TennoCon 2023 primarily focused on Warframe, the developers didn't skimp on sharing an extensive glimpse of Soulframe gameplay.
For Warframe enthusiasts, the event brought forth an array of exciting announcements. Digital Extremes introduced a fresh heirloom collection featuring Frost and Mag, divulged details about the Abyss of Dagath update set for October (which includes the introduction of Warframe #54 Dagath), provided a sneak peek into the gameplay of the Whispers in the Walls cinematic quest, confirmed the arrival of Cross-Save before the year concludes, and unveiled plans for 2024 such as Warframe Mobile and Warframe: 1999.
Soulframe's gameplay demonstration delves into three key aspects: combat, lore, and various mechanics. It becomes instantly evident that the combat holds a slightly greater emphasis compared to Warframe, resulting in a more intense and immersive experience that harmonizes with the overall atmosphere of the isle of Midrath, where Soulframe takes place. The developers also provided insights into the Ode'n, the significance of ancestors, and other related elements, highlighting how it intertwines as a complementary counterpart to Warframe.

The dungeon, language usage, combat mechanics, and more effectively highlight the core themes encapsulated in Soulframe. Notably, there is mention of a mysterious entity called the "Collector," yet its role and impact in the game remain unclear. Similarly, another significant character or entity referred to as the Empress is briefly mentioned but not elaborated upon.
While the general combat exhibited straightforwardness, it concluded with a glimpse of an exhilarating boss battle. The player character seemingly purifies the corrupted Omen Beast, which takes the form of a deer, resulting in the acquisition of power as the gameplay reaches its conclusion.
