Soulframe is getting Founders packs, offering gear and an opportunity to make a "permanent mark" on the game for eager fans

Digital Extremes has announced that its upcoming action MMORPG Soulframe will be receiving a founders pack that eager fans can purchase for exclusive items, gear, and a way to make a “permanent mark” on the game.

Announced during the recent Soulframe Devstream 11, the team dove into the latest updates for the nature-themed fantasy game in detail for its keen audience. What these rewards are remains largely a mystery, though we know they’ll be themed around the first Envoys (names for play characters): Galene, Pothia, and Josalfar. More information is set to come in the future, but for now the price point and what these items will look like remain a mystery. Though, the illustration on the Soulframe website could be a pretty good clue.

Digital Extremes also announced that Founders Pack owners would be able to invite a number of their friends to Soulframe: Preludes (Digital Extreme’s version of an pre-alpha version of the game). Earlier this year, the company opened the floodgates to any pending or new applications to join these preludes as part of its annual event: Tennocon.

Let’s break down the Founders pack. So the “permanent mark” is the initial eyebrow raiser, and could be a callback to the Warframe Founders pack and a particularly cool perk it had. Warframe, Digital Extreme’s first MMO, had Founders in-game names attached to specific missions, so players could hover over and see a list of Founders when they were looking around the star map (A sort of mission select). These days, the Founders names are found across the various Relays (player hubs), but nonetheless it’s a permanent mark that went down well.
