Bosses and AgariSoulframe's bosses are Fable bosses, fought in story quests, and Agari, named bosses placed around the open world of Midrath ("previously known as the Subbosses", renamed in Preludes 12). Named ones include the Mendicant King, the Mother Weaver, the Impidh Mockery, the Vadagar Bear, the Rovgot Wyrm, the Sinecure Errant-Gawth and the Mendicant Reinbreaker; Agari drop Runes and the Agaric mushrooms that brew The Cogah hard mode. -
Co-op and MultiplayerSoulframe is played solo or in online co-op parties of up to four players (three until Preludes 14.5 in May 2026), with shared fast travel, other players visible around World Trees and in Enclaves, and player trading and mail since Preludes 15. No PvP and no crossplay have been announced as of Oct 21, 2026. -
CombatSoulframe's combat is third-person fighting with blade, bow and Magick, slower and more deliberate than Warframe's, built on blocking, dodging, parrying, Smite finishers and the Arcanic abilities of your Pact. Preludes 16 (Sep 18, 2026) tightened the parry and reduced attack magnetism. -
PactsA Pact in Soulframe is a bond with an Omen Beast or an Ancestor that gives the Envoy three Arcanic abilities, one for each Virtue (Courage, Spirit, Grace), plus passives. The Pacts so far are Orengall, Bromius, Duelo and three Wyld Pacts; the Vadagar Pact is announced but not out as of Oct 21, 2026.

Tempers and CraftingSince Preludes 15 (Jun 10, 2026), Soulframe's weapons drop fully crafted with Tempers, random buffs that you refine with Ingots at the blacksmith Tuvalkane's forge. Since Preludes 16 (Sep 18, 2026) you can dismantle weapons to reclaim their Tempers and retune eligible Legendary weapons with them.
-
VirtuesSoulframe's three Virtues are Courage, Spirit and Grace. Since Preludes 15 (Jun 10, 2026) you set your Virtue alignment freely for each Loadout; melee weapons scale with Courage, Magick with Spirit and ranged weapons with Grace. Virtue Prisms and Virtue Liths are gone.
-
WeaponsSoulframe's weapon types are Long Blades (rapiers among them), Short Blades, Heavy weapons (greatswords and maces), Polearms, Magick staffs and wrist casters, bows and flyblades, plus a Sidearm slot. Since Preludes 15 (Jun 10, 2026) weapons drop fully crafted with random Tempers. -
Wolf Pup and MountsSoulframe has no rideable mount yet, as of Oct 21, 2026. Preludes 16 (Sep 18, 2026) added a wolf pup companion, chosen at the end of The Shewolf Snared, that you bond with through fetch, walks, fish and combat; Digital Extremes says it will grow into the first mount, promised for 2026, and that wolves will not be the only mounts.
