Official reveal
In a surprise reveal during TennoLive 2022 through a beautifully captured cinematic trailer invoking themes of romanticism and fantasy, Digital Extremes showcased game lovers a cryptic teaser for the upcoming free-to-play action hybrid-MMORPG in early development at the studio.[3]
There is no determined release date yet, and at this time, there are no plans to launch the game with a founder's pack.[4]
The official website provides a form that allows one to register their email to sign up for game development updates and reserve their preferred in-game name (called an "Envoy Title") while also being given instant access to the Alca's Eye item once the game launches.
In order to access the contents of the website, one is first required to solve a cryptex style cipher puzzle featuring unique glyphs. The phrase "Envoys of Ode Sky" is shown, with glyphs displayed above certain letters. The puzzle is unlocked by matching the correct glyphs to complete the phrase, revealing a link that displays the rest of the page. Doing so also changes the initial image on the page from an arm encased in armor inset with keyholes to a bare arm with the appearance of engraved stone, also featuring a keyhole motif.
In addition to the registration form, the website initially displays three still images of scenes from the cinematic trailer with captions shown using the game's glyphs, as well as a link to the Soulframe YouTube channel where the trailer can be watched in full. Extra hidden content can be revealed by clicking certain objects within the page. A fourth image of the moose is displayed after clicking the bird above the "S" in the Soulframe logo. By clicking one of the eyes drawn on the moose's antlers, a poem, also encoded in glyphs, is displayed.
Source files have been discovered that reveal the translation key for the glyphs, and using that key, the text of the poem is translated as follows:
