Digital Extremes is gearing up to drop the next big Soulframe Preludes update later this month, and it’s a chunky one. Fresh off the TennoCon gameplay demo, Devstream 9 pulled back the curtain on what’s coming next in the closed Pre-Alpha playtest—and it’s looking very beastly indeed.
Enter Bromius’ Fable
At the heart of Update 11 is the Waste Bear Fable, where players will dive into the Neath’uns underbelly to tackle corruption at its root. You’ll face off against the Omen Beast, Bromius, and his twisted Sproutfolk pals. Defeat the bear, and you’ll unlock a brand-new Pact inspired by Bromius’ earthy lifestyle—think claws, cleavers, and a rather adorable honey pot shield. Fuzzy yet frightening.
New Toys and Shiny Armour
The update isn’t just about battling corruption. Here’s what else Devstream 9 teased:
- A full armour set themed around Bromius’ struggles.
- Eight new rank-up perks, including long-awaited armour transmog and colour customisation.
- Exclusive starter armour sets for the three beginning factions: Alca’s Children, Kith of Kings, and Silent Rose.
Music for Your Misadventures
Two new tracks are also on the way: Song of Waste (already live on YouTube) and Song of Growth, set to arrive with Update 11. Both will later join the wider soundtrack release across streaming platforms this year.
How to Get In
Soulframe Preludes is still in closed Pre-Alpha, but you can jump into the sign-up queue via the official website. Players are drawn weekly, so patience (and a bit of luck) is key.
Digital Extremes is clear: Soulframe is about redemption, restoration, and slowly shaping a world together with its players. Update 11 just so happens to shape that world with a massive bear fight.
