Winter's chill approaches, and shivering Sproutfolk know all too well whose return it heralds. With harvest imminent, Crone Cucurbita's power reaches its peak, walking the world of Midrath once more.
This year the resurrection of the sinister, animated Wintersquash is accompanied by three masks: last year's offering, and two new pieces to craft and collect.
To participate in this autumnal festival, patrol the lands in search of suspicious patches of Wintersquash, minded by a scarecrow keeper.
The scarecrow holds the Fragments of the Crone's wicked visages, but you will need to smash the Wintersquash to collect its Seeds and craft them.
Tuvulkane will know how to turn Fragment to form, so visit her in the Nightfold once you've assembled the requirements.
Enjoy this harvest-time treat for a limited time, Envoys!
Draw near, Envoy. Preludes 11 is here, and with it came Devstream 10: filled with reveals, gameplay, and a peek at what’s sprouting next.
Where can I listen?
You can listen to the Waste Bear Fable Official Soundtrack on your favorite streaming platforms, including:
The newest Preludes update has arrived in Alca, and with it a host of new opportunities for adventure, Envoys.
Follow the Floppet's flappings and Verminia's visions to Wevetwood and the Waste Bear Fable, delve to the deepest warrens in the Neath'uns, there's lots to experience in Preludes 11.
Highlights:
New Fable: The Waste Bear
Follow the sap-smoke into The Fable of the Arbearer Bromius. A poppet pulls you into Verminia’s cauldron... and a sap-dream of a three-headed bear, dying trees, and a seed that won’t grow.
New Pact: Bromius
Bear the burly pact of the Arbearer Bromius. Be ward of the Wevetwood, regent of the Neath’uns’ roots. Mighty, you must be. Of heft and heart alike.
New tileset: The Neath’uns
Descend into the Neath’uns, vast root-caves choked with ichor. Purge ichor seepage to set the waters running clean, raise living root bridges to forge a path, and push through pockets of Corrupted Sproutfolk, puzzles, and spiders.
Bestitching, Dyes, and Armour Customization
At last, Envoys can Bestitch their armor — imparting the visual style of one piece while keeping the stats of another. Verminia now also offers dyes and color customization to better match your look to your legend.
Bestiching incurs a cost of Arcs, a premium Currency. All Envoys have been given a small amount of Arcs while we work on these systems in Preludes.
New Armour sets
Bromius Armour: Ward of the Wevetwood, heavy with bark and iron.
Mockery Armour: Twisted relics of fallen foes.
Starter Armour Sets: New kits for Grace, Courage, and Spirit.
New Weapons: From the fanged cleaver Marrow’s Bane to ancient Fey blades like Dewelion and Witan, fresh steel (and wood) awaits Tuvalkane’s forge.
New Foes: New threats prowl Midrath’s wilds. Face unique mini-boss encounters such as the Mother Weaver and the Impidh Mockery!
Totems: Equip Totems for a passive boon to your Weapons. Charm the beasts of Midrath to borrow their strength in your fight against the Ode.
Runes: Defeat new named sub-bosses to earn Runes and harness the power of nature. Unleash Runes as an active ability to turn the tide of battle! The three Runes (Everflame, Archstorm, and Alca's Breath) can be equipped depending on your Weapon type.

Soulframe Preludes 9 arrives, inviting new and returning Envoys to choose their Pact. Align with one of three revealed Factions, each offering new unique Pacts and gear. Wield the crackling force of Odiac, cleanse corrupted trees to reveal hidden corners of the land, and uncover focused paths through Faction Tales. As Midrath expands, so too does the path ahead.
Soulframe Preludes 8, after being moved out of the end of the year, is coming this week, and Digital Extremes has a new Soulshorts with more details.
The team continues to work on the game and they do have some very important updates here. You will be able to pet your wolf puppy. You’ll get that pup after helping its mom, Orengall, which will come with a little quest. Do the quest with her and earn the Orengall Pact and she'll trust you with the care of one of her puppies. Pick the pup you want, name it, and pet it. That’s Soulframe, everyone.
The wolf inspiration runs deep in what comes from the Pact, as they note in the video on development of the skill tree and aspects, “It's shaping up really fun. It's very very very very wolf inspired…here's a lot of wolf. Lot of wolf!” If you've been waiting for more since they revealed Orengall and the pup you can raise, there’s a little longer to wait before you can jump in and see more. One of the powers in the Pact will give you slightly faster travel, but not exactly fast travel. Fast travel is one of the questions that came up in the community Q&A.
There’s an environmental hazard they hint at, saying you could run into it while doing the Orengall quest. This is part of what they have been working on to get ready for the release of Preludes 8, as the community Q&A reveals. Environmental hazards are part of the process, and there are even new enemy types they’re working on balance and placement for. We also get some info on the Silent Rose Enclave, the previously-revealed social hub, and some plans like eventual direct access to the Nightfold from this location, which could help parties to coordinate better.
When Preludes 8 comes out, with wider access, the team is hoping to avoid resets or wipes, though active development will continue, so they can’t guarantee anything. They do acknowledge that people spend time and effort so they're hoping to respect that by minimizing the chances of resets.
The full discussion covers a few other topics, from the social hub, quests, and more about Soulframe Preludes 8.
Envoys!
A new year has begun, and Alca welcomes you back!
Join the Developers as we kick off 2025 with a Soulframe Preludes 8 showcase and look towards what’s next for Envoys.
We’ll feature a live Q/A segment during the stream - please propose your questions in this thread!

Soulframe Devstream 4: 11am ET - 12pm ET
Warframe Devstream 184: 2pm ET - 3pm ET
Join us, won’t you?
As the team continues to work away on our next Update, we’ve made the decision to delay Soulframe Preludes 8 until after the holidays in January 2025.
Preludes 8 will bring an Update worthy of the hunt complete with an early version of Warsongs, Orengall’s very own Fable, and the first social hub - the hidden Silent Rose Enclave, where the Drippin’ Flagon tavern waits to welcome you.
We appreciate your patience and, in the meantime, 10,000 Preludes invites have been sent out as we prepare for this release.
Envoys!
As the chill of Dolaig settles throughout Alca, we bid farewell to a year of growth, learnings, and humble progress. This year brought much: the opportunity to open our Pre-Alpha wider to the world, deliver 7 major Updates to Soulframe Preludes, launch our community forums and Devstreams, and welcome the ever-growing community of Envoys (all of you!).
Through your adventures - facing Fables, standing against Ode’n forces, braving Alca’s untamed lands, and even mastering Regatta alongside Avakot - you’ve shown us the soul of this world. Your continued feedback, reports, and passion have helped shape these early days of Soulframe.
As the team continues work on the next Update, we’ve made the decision to push Preludes 8 until after the holidays (in the meantime, 10,000 Preludes invites have been sent out as we prepare for this release!). Arriving in January, this Update will bring an early version of Warsongs, Orengall’s Fable, and our first social hub - the hidden Silent Rose Enclave.
As we look toward 2025, the echoes of Alca’s past grow louder. We look forward to expanding Soulframe Preludes to the world, welcoming more Envoys into the ‘fold alongside new tales, lands, systems and souls. Watch a glimpse of what lies ahead in our 2025 preview here:
Thank you for being part of these early days. Our studio will soon take a short respite over the holidays (though you’ll still spot some of us around) before returning, refreshed and ready, to continue shaping the world of Alca. We’re excited for all that’s to come in the new year - for now, keep exploring, playing, and venturing forth!

Hark, another Soulframe Devstream has been added to our history! We are ceaselessly grateful for your joining our second excursion, Envoys.
This time from the familiar Digital Extremes studio, we aimed to give you a sparrow's-eye view of Alca in Preludes.
Envoys new and old,
Welcome to Soulframe! Our first Devstream is complete and we are now back to building the game in the pre-Alpha: Preludes release.
What you can expect in the coming months is: refined combat, a focus on fun, and dramatic gameplay experiments.
If this is your first time reviewing a Digital Extremes game - this is how we develop. Jump in. Many of you may be familiar with Warframe, we didn't add Bullet Jumping to Warframe until 3 years into development! Expect the same risks, changes, and pace as Soulframe. We love and read all the feedback.
See you at Alca! We have re-uploaded the TennoCon 2024 gameplay footage due to coding and visual fidelity issues. The original video (now Unlisted) can be found here: https://youtu.be/u80ZFBIv8X0
‘Tis with deepest gratitude that we thank you for joining us, Envoy, in Alca’s earliest days. As with every journey, we shall fare better in good company.
