After spending the last several years being known for and working exclusively on one single game, Warframe, Digital Extremes has finally announced a new IP. The new game, Soulframe, looks as though it’s inspired by its predecessor, but the setting appears to be completely different. Rather than science-fantasy, this one seems to be going for a more earthy, mystical feeling.

There’s very little info about Soulframe available at the moment, but Digital Extremes has confirmed two things: it takes place in a fantasy setting, and it’ll be an MMO. Well, I suppose that means that Warframe fans’ll be happy at least. Here’s hoping that the grind/ core gameplay loop will be a little less daunting this time around.

It’s always interesting to see one-game studios make the leap to new IP, isn’t it? It’s a very big risk considering that the company’s fans would likely just be happy with more of the same, and it’s not always a guarantee that it’ll work out. CD Projeckt Red and the Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco are a prime example of that. Even so, it’s an exciting thing to see since success means another awesome game to play. Here’s hoping Digital Extremes can pull this off well!
