Digital Extremes Gears Up for Summer Game Fest with Exciting Warframe and Soulframe Updates

Digital Extremes, renowned for its popular free-to-play action-adventure title Warframe and the highly anticipated Soulframe, has unveiled an extensive lineup of activities and reveals for Summer Game Fest 2026. The event, taking place both online and on-site in Los Angeles from June 4th to 8th, will offer a wealth of content for both veteran players and newcomers.

As Warframe marks its 13th anniversary, Digital Extremes is set to deliver fresh experiences. The upcoming showcase will provide a significant new look at Soulframe, a game that promises a distinct departure from Warframe‘s sci-fi aesthetic while retaining its core free-to-play action-adventure gameplay. Soulframe immerses players in a medieval fantasy setting, where they’ll control an Envoy wielding Fey magic, featuring a deep magic system comparable to Warframe‘s abilities.
