To open the 10th annual TennoCon. Digital Extremes had Soulframe open the event with an exciting new Devstream. Devstream 8 revealed in length the next Fable quest for the game. As well as exciting changes to the game’s “weapon arts” skill system for all weapons. Here is everything we learned from the Devstream, including when the Motes weapon customization system goes live!
Everything from Devstream 8 for Soulframe
For starters, there will be new player armor in the works. In Preludes 10 for Soulframe, all pieces of armor now have set stats for resistance coherency. The latest set from the Mendicant King was jaw-dropping, and the new one shown during the Devstream was no slouch. On top of all of this, there will be a new Fey pact-inspired sword, an Envoy-themed bow, and a new Avakot machete.
The mote system was shown in depth as well, with tiered joineries for reforging weapons and armor to allow for improvement on your favorite items. Digital Extremes has also mentioned that the Motes system will be launching in the fall, alongside a rework for the weapon arts system. Currently, in Soulframe, there are dedicated skill trees for every class of weapon. The rework will offer more coherence for the skills you choose in a chosen class. The visual aids look like an old school manual; it’s a great touch.
Finally, before we talk about the new quest they showed with breathtaking gameplay, Digital Extremes has announced that everyone who signs up for Soulframe will get an instant invite today or tomorrow.
An Emotional Look at the Bromius Bear Fable
The quest started with a creepy cutscene of the Envoy hanging upside down in a mysterious lair. It is from here that Verminia offers guidance to Bromius with the help of a flying rat that takes the place of your sparrow. The quest will be set in an entirely new area of Midrath Island named Wevetwood. Wevetwood is home to new corrupted Avakot enemies, both big and small.
Along the way, you are lured into a duel with a corrupted wizard from the Medicant Faction, aptly named the Wazzard of Wastes. Mysterious knights attack along the path, disappearing into the sludge to confuse the player. The fight with the Wazzard is also very cool, since he summons spiders and throws numerous projectiles.
Following this fight, the Envoy ventures into what seems like another new procedurally generated dungeon. This dungeon is filled with the Avakot enemies, and the journey into it ended with a 2 phase boss fight with the Corrupted Bromius. What really made this quest stand out in the presentation was the emotionally charged music accompanying the scenes after the fight.
When is the Bromius Fable Arriving in Soulframe?
Currently, there is no release date for this new story quest in Soulframe. But, there is reason to believe the Motes modular system will not be arriving with this quest. This is due to how intricate the Motes system is in terms of customization. One can only hope that the Motes system gets added sooner rather than later.
However, this is all that was shown during Devstream 8 today at TennoCon 2025. If you would like to watch the full VOD, you can find a direct link here.
