Soulframe Opens Its Preludes Alpha to Everyone This Week

Soulframe, the new project from the developers behind Warframe, is opening its Preludes phase to the general public this week. Preludes is the studio's version of an alpha test, and until now it has been limited to players who were invited in. Anyone who wants to can now download the game and start playing without waiting for an invite.

The open window is timed to lead into the Verse of the Veilands update. That gives the team a much larger group of players to test the game against ahead of the new content, and it gives curious players a straightforward way to see what the project looks like today.

The announcement also carries a headline comparison to WoW: Forever, pitting the two games against each other in the same news cycle. The source material does not explain how the developers see that comparison, so readers should treat it as a framing point rather than a stated competitive move.

Players interested in the game can expect a test build, so progress, systems and content may change as feedback comes in.
