## Summary

Soulframe, Digital Extremes’ fantasy action MMORPG, will open its Preludes testing to everyone on 6 November, ending three years of invite-only access. The launch puts it in a busy week for MMO players, arriving two days after World of Warcraft: Forever and alongside Old School RuneScape’s Hardcore worlds.

The accompanying Verse of the Veilands update reshapes how players progress across the map: after an early quest, they will purify a corrupted region to unlock resources and activities such as fishing. Players can also train a wolf companion into a mount, and try the new Ode Shrike Pact, which uses traps and explosives. The Veillands system is still being developed, with further updates planned.
