The game will be set in a medieval-like Setting but maintain the third-person action gameplay from Warframe and Dark Sector. As well as being an MMO, similar to Warframe. In-depth story and gameplay details have yet to be revealed as well. But in a recent interview with Steve Sinclair, former Creative Director of Warframe, we did get a peek behind the curtain:
The game will share “Warframe’s” focus on cooperative player-vs-environment combat and procedurally generated environments, but it will be “the mirror universe version of ‘Warframe.’ ”This applies to setting: “Warframe” is a unique, flesh-mech-powered spin on the sci-fi genre; “Soulframe” will be a suitably strange take on fantasy. It’ll also apply to gameplay. “Where ‘Warframe’ is focused on shooting, this one’s focused on melee,” Sinclair said. “Where ‘Warframe’ is super fast and crazy high-speed, this one’s going to be a lot more slow and heavy. But it still has a lot of similarities to the genre that we have experience in.” -The Washington Post
The game’s setting is said to take inspiration from “Princess Mononoke” and “The Neverending Story”. The full interview can be found here if you’d like to read more.
