The development team behind the upcoming free-to-play fantasy action RPG revealed that players everywhere can gain permanent access to Soulframe Preludes by <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soulframe.com\/en\/signin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">signing up on the official site<\/a> by July 12 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Growth does not truly occur without a certain level of despair and fear. These are important storytelling mechanics that are incredibly relatable to the human experience and journey in life. These themes aren&#8217;t comfortable to experience, but they&#8217;re essential to our existence as temporary inhabitants of Alca. We hope our community, and players discovering Soulframe for the first time today, find a sense of connection with that.&#8221;<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\tSOULFRAME ACCESS FOR ALL: In celebration of community at TennoCon, Digital Extremes once again invites all players interested in joining its growing community to create an account at <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"http:\/\/soulframe.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Soulframe.com<\/a> by July 12 at 11:59 p.m. ET to secure access to Soulframe Preludes.

Once the open sign-up window has closed, players may still sign up, but will wait for the weekly raffle until additional access is available.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n\tCORRUPTED PLAYER PROGRESSION PATH &amp; NEW FABLE, WARSONGS: Channel corruption to carve a new kind of path for redemption with a darker progression path introduced in Soulframe\u2019s latest Fable quest, Warsongs, coming later this Fall. Wield the power of the corrupting Ichor with the new Vadagar Pact to toss exploding boomerangs, call forth ensnaring tendrils, or summon a stampede of corrosive steeds that leave behind murky pools in their wake.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\tAN ANTAGONIST EMERGES, TEMPEST BAYOR: Unveil the face of one of Soulframe\u2019s main rivals to the player, Tempest Bayor, brought to life by the performance of Ben Starr. As a rare red-armed Envoy, he aligns himself with the invading Ode forces with the support of his faithful raven companion. His motivations are unknown, but the Empress of Eldveil, portrayed by <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm10804818\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jennifer English<\/a> (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33) in her first in-game appearance, seems to know more\u2026<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n\tNEW BOSS, MENDICANT REINBREAKER: Break a bucking rampage of the Ode forces\u2019 latest boss encounter, the Mendicant Reinbreaker, now available in Soulframe Preludes.

Soulframe Preludes players will soon be able to test out the first highly anticipated mount system later this year.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>For a comprehensive rundown on Soulframe announcements made today, visit <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennocon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the official event website<\/a> and <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soulframe.com\/en\/news\/page\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Soulframe news webpage<\/a>, join the community on <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/playsoulframe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Discord<\/a>, or follow Soulframe on <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/soulframe.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bluesky<\/a>, <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlaySoulframe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter\/X<\/a>, <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/playsoulframe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@playsoulframe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/playsoulframe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitch<\/a>, and <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@soulframe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a>.
