The next big step for Soulframe is not only its Founders Program, but of course, its next major update, with Preludes 12. Preludes 12 is going to be a big touch-up to many systems in the game, while also adding a new weapon class and brand new challenge difficulty to take on for the hardcore in the community. Here is everything you need to know about the update, including the recently launched Founders Program!
What to Expect from Preludes 12 in Soulframe
Preludes 12 is bringing with it a few very notable changes. Such as the bosses in the open worlds now randomly appearing in the dungeons on Midrath Island. This will allow players to not just rely on farming the open world if they plan to seek out more of the highly coveted Runes, amongst other items. Going alongside this are new acquirable Runes and Totems to the game.
Fast travel is now available in the game for those who have finished the Bromius Fable quest. Players can also grind to earn a new weapon class, the Greatsword. The Greatsword class will come with two variants, but notably the Mendicant King’s Greatsword (which will be my primary target, personally). Finally, the game will now introduce a new ancestor to your Nightfold, Zenith, or the “Capitalism Camel”. Zenith will be how players can access future purchasable items, and of course, purchase the new Founders Packs in-game.
Details on the Founders Packs
To offer a quick recap on what will be available with the Founders Packs, this is what you can expect from them from our FAQ Video Breakdown Article:
- Wyld (Prime) Pacts, the first to come to the game.
- Armor Sets.
- A “Paragon” Heavy Blade at the highest tier.
- Sparrow Skins.
- Premium Currency.
- Transmog Consumables.
- A “Motif” or in-game profile emblem.
- Codes to give people access to the game before it is made public.
- A Flower to Plant in a location within Soulframe. Your in-game name will be featured on it.
- The ability to craft schematics for the heavy blade in the highest-tier founders’ pack to trade with players at a later date. The crafted schematic will have your in-game name on it.
- A Sword Skin to use in Warframe’s The Old Peace expansion.
There will be 4 different versions of the Founders’ Packs to buy. One for each Virtue (Spirit, Courage, Grace) that can be bought separately if you only want one set of the offerings. There will be one mega bundle, so to speak, that includes all 3 and includes the Paragon Greatsword. The Paragon Greatsword is going to be exclusive to this bundle, but Founders will be able to craft a schematic for the Paragon to gift to other players at a later date. This version will also have the in-game name of the Founder in the name of the Greatsword.
Finally, they confirmed there will be Founders’ exclusive merchandise. The merchandise offerings are, of course, shirts, pins, and art cards. Pricing on the Founders Packs is $30 USD for each of the standard packs. Or $100 USD for the highest tier that also includes the Paragon Greatsword. More details can be found on the official webpage here.
Be aware that at this time there are issues with receiving items being received that Digital Extremes is looking into.
