Soulframe Preludes 16 ‘Of Hook & Hound’ Available Now

Digital Extremes has announced that the Preludes 16 update for Soulframe, titled “Of Hook and Hound,” is available now. It features new mechanics and long-requested features. 

The press release outlines the features of Preludes 16:

• • After completing The Shewolf Snared Fable and selecting a wolf pup companion, set out into the world of Alca together and participate in bonding activities like playing fetch, going on walks, feeding on fish, supporting each other in combat, and taking time for snuggly cuddles in between the action. Look forward to future updates as this feature continues to develop and eventually becomes the highly anticipated player mount.

  • Take refuge among new serene spots for a new fishing mechanic introducing six different lures and six unique fish to catch, like the Emerald Prickleback or Boilhead Wumper. Cleanse the Ode corruption from their scales and decide to either release them back into the pond or keep them for a wolf companion, with various rewards for either path.

  • Admire the clouds and chart their movements to witness a new dynamic weather system that offers immersive environmental combinations like rainy nights, foggy mornings, or scenic sunsets, paired with seamless gameplay-altering effects like increased lightning damage or reduced enemy perception ranges.

  • Forge finer weapons with a revamped Tempers system allowing players to adjust weapon modifiers with more agency when customizing loadouts. Dismantle weapons of old to reclaim their Tempers and retune them with the blacksmith Tuvalkane alongside new gear options like the two-handed mace Wreath, caster staff Gystalt, sidearm rapier Grimana, and the Suit of The Sleeve armour set.

Lastly, Soulframe Preludes is available now on PC. Digital Extremes distributes codes for the pre-alpha every week, which you can sign up for via the game’s official website. In addition, check out our preview of Soulframe that focuses on the upcoming Warsongs Fable narrative quest.
