Digital Extremes To Give Away More Soulframe Pre-Alpha Access Keys at Summer Game Fest

[Cpt.Jank]

Soulframe is the next big project from Digital Extremes, and the game studio has been quietly testing a pre-alpha version of the game since 2023. Since then, it has been steadily growing its player base, expanding its pre-alpha test pool in small batches every so often. The last time the pre-alpha test was expanded, Digital Extremes gave away guaranteed Preludes access codes to anyone who signed up and linked their Twitch and Soulframe accounts for a very short time. In a recent announcement, though Digital Extremes revealed that it would be expanding its Soulframe test yet again, although this time players have to put in some leg-work to get it done.

According to the announcement, Digital Extremes will be giving away Soulframe Preludes access keys as Twitch Drops during a June 6 Summer Game Fest stream, which is slated to happen at 6 PM Eastern Time (10 PM UTC). To gain access to the pre-alpha test version of the game, prospective players will need to watch the Twitch stream for at least 30 minutes. In order to claim the Drop, players will also need to create a Soulframe account and link it to their Twitch account ahead of the stream. Anyone who watches The Game Awards's stream at that time for the required 30 minutes from a linked account will be able to claim a Soulframe Preludes access key. Soulframe is a fantasy action RPG set in a mythical world that seems to borrow elements from many places, but from Norse mythology more than anything. It is set in an open world with procedurally generated dungeons, and it asks for a slower, more methodical approach to gameplay than Digital Extremes's hit free-to-play game, Warframe. When Soulframe eventually launches in earnest, it will also be free-to-play, but a launch date has seemingly not been set, despite early talks of a January 2025 launch.

Social Media mining crap ( so no it's not free ), no thank you. Well i don't have any so it's a no anyways.

And its actually not Unreal, its their own engine called "Evolution" that stems from WAY BACK WHEN by now.

"Social Media mining crap" never heard this phrase before, but very apt.

too many hopes? No different than any other twitch drop. Still would need to link accounts to get the drops.
*shakes head*
Have already been test since prelude 7 and slowly coming along. Still enjoying what all is coming and trying.

If youre scared of creating a fake account for Twitch then just show up on one of the Soulframe communities and ask for a key, there are people that have multiple extra keys.

You're missing something very important Mr Sunshine.

If anyone is interested, I still have 3 out of 4 keys I got with the prelude invitation. Just PM me.

It's their own engine alright, well known for a warframe's great performance/visuals. But this (early alpha) game runs quite poorly for the visuals given, the last time I've checked.
Might be fixed before the release I guess, but I wouldn't have high hopes for it. They aimed at the slower paced, huge open world experience with this one, so those sweet high (war)frames might've lost their soul.
