Digital Extremes is actively developing both Warframe and Soulframe, with the 'Iceblade of Narin' update for Warframe announced for autumn 2026 and the Soulframe closed alpha 'Preludes' opened to all registrants at TennoCon 2026.
Digital Extremes spent the first half of 2026 advancing both of its live-service titles. Warframe received the 'Jade Shadows: Constellations' update on June 18, introducing the 65th Warframe Sirius & Orion, a dual-form frame that switches between support and offense, along with Styanax Prime as the 50th Prime Warframe and new Railjack missions. The studio then used TennoCon 2026 on July 10-11 to announce the next major Warframe update, 'Iceblade of Narin', arriving in autumn 2026. That update brings the first ice-themed female Warframe since Frost, a new star system called TAU, a detective-like Warframe named Brysko, and a story episode about Lotus moving Lua into the Void.
Soulframe, Digital Extremes' fantasy action RPG, also made significant progress. A gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest 2026 revealed Jennifer English as the voice of Eldvel queen Alora and confirmed a closed alpha update, Prelude 15: Gods & Ghosts, within June. That update added equipment trading, in-game mail, new enemies like Ord Caerum and Mendicant Rainbreaker, and a revamped crafting system. At TennoCon 2026, the studio showed the first live gameplay demo, confirmed a mount system for fall 2026, and opened the closed alpha 'Preludes' to all who register by July 13. A new oath system called Vadagal, a fishing mechanic, and a story episode titled 'Warsongs' were also revealed.
The two games share the spotlight at Digital Extremes' annual fan event. TennoCon 2026 included panels for both Warframe and Soulframe, a concert, a cosplay contest, and the TennoLive demo. Exclusive Twitch and Steam drops offered a new primary weapon and Mesa Prime Warframe, and an in-game relay experience opened July 12. The studio's output shows a steady cadence of updates for its established hit while pushing its next project toward a more playable state.
