At PAX East over the weekend, Digital Extremes debuted a mysterious new Soulframe trailer and talked a bit about Preludes 10, due out this month.
In Preludes 10, we can expect new weapons (and secondary weapon swapping), new armor types, new enemies, and the customizable Mote system for weapon upgrades. You capture creatures in the different elements and you catch them. No, not like that other creature catching franchise. These motes are involved with weapon upgrades. Build customization is a big part of Preludes 10.
You can see more in the Devstream 188 PAX video, starting around 6:00. This will be the last Devstream until TennoCon in July.
The hostile Mendicant faction is also on the way. With them, and other additions, Soulframe begins to add enemy diversity, which the devs admitted is lacking right now.
There will also be a new limited time festival event, Festival of the Circade. Enter a mysterious crypt in the update, learn why a spirit is still around in the world, and solve a puzzle to earn rewards.
The new gameplay trailer is rooted in mysterious magicks. It also asks some important, chilling questions. “Know who were the bad 'uns before even Ode? Us. That's who.” Digital Extremes is certainly maintaining the mystery for now.
