Soulframe Mount Feature Arrives Fall 2026, New Boss Fight Available Now

Digital Extremes announced at TennoCon 2026 that the fantasy RPG Soulframe will add a mount system in fall 2026. The mounts, which include giant wolves and horses, can be used in four-player squads and feature a bonding system where players can pet, feed, and play fetch with their animals. A new boss, Mendicant Rainbreaker, is available to fight as of the event. She rides a horse and wields a giant sword, driven by hatred for humanity's mistreatment of horses. The studio also revealed a new story quest, War Song, arriving in fall 2026, which explores darker themes through a new vow called Vatagar. This vow allows players to draw on corrupting powers like Wrath, Death, and Doom. The quest introduces the Empress of Eldbell, voiced by Jennifer English, and the enemy Tempest Vayol, voiced by Ben Starr. A fishing mini-game was also shown. The closed alpha test Preludes was opened to all registrants during the TennoCon weekend, granting permanent access.

The mount system in Soulframe allows players to bond with animals by throwing objects for them to fetch and feeding them to increase intimacy. The mounts are usable in solo play and four-player squads, and the demo showed a giant wolf and a horse previously ridden by a boss. The new boss Mendicant Rainbreaker appears with a horse and a large sword, and her backstory involves resentment over humanity's historical abuse of horses. The War Song quest introduces the Vatagar vow, which lets players embrace corrupting forces at the cost of their character's body becoming contaminated. The quest also features the Empress of Eldbell, a pregnant warrior performing character creation at the game's start, voiced by Jennifer English, and Tempest Vayol, a raven-accompanied Ode-aligned enemy voiced by Ben Starr. A fishing mini-game was shown as a new gathering activity. The closed alpha Preludes was opened to all who registered during TennoCon 2026, providing permanent access to the pre-alpha build.
