Soulframe's New Update Adds Fishing, Weapon Epithets, and Wolf Pups

Ever wondered what a dark fantasy world would look like with a fishing minigame? Soulframe just answered that question, and the answer is: surprisingly delightful.

The latest Preludes build for Digital Extremes' fantasy MMO has arrived, and it's packed with new features that give you more to do between all that solemn soul-searching. The headline addition? Fishing. Yes, the great evil that long existed in the margins has finally arrived, and there's no more space for ambiguity about it. Soulframe players now must contend with the horrifying reality of a game in which they are expected to... fish.

But that's not all that's swimming into the game. Weapon epithets are also part of this update, giving your arsenal more personality and customization options. If you've been looking for ways to make your favorite weapon feel more uniquely yours, epithets should scratch that itch nicely.

And then there are the wolf puppies. That's right, wolf puppy training is now a thing in Soulframe. Because nothing says "gritty fantasy adventure" quite like raising a tiny, adorable wolf companion. It's a feature that's sure to melt even the coldest warrior's heart.

For those who haven't been following along, Soulframe is the upcoming free-to-play fantasy MMO from Digital Extremes, the studio behind Warframe. It's been in development for a while now, and these Preludes builds serve as early access windows for players to test out new systems and features before the full launch.

The fishing addition is particularly notable because it's become something of a running joke in the community. The game's dark, atmospheric tone made the idea of a fishing minigame seem almost absurd, but here we are. The developers have fully embraced it, and honestly? It fits better than you might expect.

Between fishing, weapon epithets, and training your very own wolf pup, there's a lot to sink your teeth into with this update. Whether you're a longtime follower of Soulframe's development or just curious about what Digital Extremes is cooking up, now seems like a pretty good time to dive in and see what all the fuss is about.
