Wake up, Envoy, lest you miss the most exciting news in all of Alca: The cover of Game Informer Issue 377 will feature Soulframe, the fantasy MMO from Warframe developer Digital Extremes. What’s more is that, in a first for Game Informer, all subscribers will receive a code to hop into Soulframe as part of the Founders program, which gives players the opportunity to play early and help guide the game’s development as it nears closer to the 1.0 launch.
Game Informer senior video editor Alex Van Aken and I traveled to London, Ontario, in the Great White North to visit Digital Extremes, play Soulframe, interview the team about the exciting lead-up to the game’s 1.0 launch and all of the work that goes into creating a new MMO. My 14-page cover story features all-new information about Soulframe, including details about mounts and an upcoming class, behind-the-scenes insight into creating this team’s first new game in nearly a decade, the “war wounds” of Digital Extremes’ past, the passionate focus on community management at the studio, and so much more. There’s a solid chance you didn’t know about Soulframe before today – after this story, alongside the opportunity to jump into the game early, I’m betting it’s a game you’ll continue to keep your eyes on. Subscribe today to ensure you get this issue (and the exclusive Soulframe code that comes with it) – you have until April 22 to subscribe for this issue!
Our Soulframe cover speaks to one of Soulframe’s primary inspirations: Studio Ghibli’s seminal 1997 animated feature, Princess Mononoke. The Envoy, which is the customizable player-controlled character, stands calm and confident alongside Orengall, the Omen Shewolf. Throughout your Soulframe journey, you will collect various Pacts, which are equippable arms that change how your Envoy plays, and though the Envoy on our cover is wearing the default arm, as it were, there are hours of adventure (and various additional Pacts) awaiting them. The Envoy and Orengall are ready to defeat the Ode, the extraterrestrial enemy faction stripping the world of Alca of its precious resources. Throughout Soulframe Preludes and in the 1.0 launch of Soulframe, players will utilize Pacts, all manner of weapons and armor, and more to restore this once-peaceful land back to prosperity and natural harmony.
Now, if you’re still waiting for your Invincible VS. issue of Game Informer to arrive, don’t sweat – those magazines are shipping to mailboxes as we speak! And this Soulframe issue doesn’t even go live (digitally) until next month, on April 7. We found ourselves in the unique position to announce this cover during a Digital Extremes DevStream for Soulframe today – it just aired – and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to announce this news to the developers’ most hardcore community. So trust that this cover reveal is early and you shouldn’t stress about the Invincible VS. issue arriving as it’s on its way!
When the physical edition of this Soulframe issue arrives in your mailbox, you will find a pack-in postcard with your unique Soulframe Founders Edition code alongside instructions on how to redeem it and hop into the game. If you’re a digital subscriber, around the same time those magazines start arriving in mailboxes, we’ll send an email to each of you with your unique Soulframe Founders Edition code and instructions on how to use it. We’re very excited about the opportunity for our subscribers to read our Soulframe cover story and then jump into the game to see it in action!
The digital edition of Game Informer Issue 377 will launch on April 7, with physical editions heading to mailboxes in the coming weeks. We’ll be revealing more details about what’s in the issue, including features, reviews, previews, and more, closer to that launch.
