AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Digital Extremes revealed that Soulframe Preludes 16 is officially titled 'Of Hook & Hound' during Gamescom 2026, offering new insights into the fantasy RPG's ongoing development.
Digital Extremes is continuing to pull back the curtain on its upcoming fantasy RPG, Soulframe. IGN South Africa reports that the team has officially named the upcoming build Preludes 16 'Of Hook & Hound' during the Gamescom 2026 festivities. As the studio continues to iterate on the core mechanics of its sprawling fantasy universe, these periodic playtests remain the vital feedback loop for the community.
For anyone following the trajectory of Soulframe, these early preludes are much more than typical alpha tests. They give dedicated players an active hand in shaping how the game feels, moves, and plays long before its eventual public release. The shift toward more creature and companion-focused themes in this latest naming update points directly to how the developers are expanding player interaction within the world.
Digital Extremes has built immense trust over the years by treating Warframe as a living, breathing dialogue with its player base. Bringing that same community-first mentality to Soulframe sets a strong precedent for how modern studios should handle long-term development. As Preludes 16 rolls out, all eyes in the streaming and creator spaces will be watching to see how these new mechanics shift the meta of the early test builds.
