Frictional Games has announced that its upcoming horror title, SOMA, has entered its pre-beta phase. As the team claimed, the game’s current state is a ‘milestone in preparation for the proper Beta, basically the full game without the final polish, which will happen a few months into next year.’
Moreover, the pre-beta phase will let Frictional Game evaluate a number of crucial elements in the game, and decide whether it should give them or discard them.
As Frictional Games’ Thomas wrote on the company’s official blog:
“Now that we’re in pre-Beta all of these changes are in and tested. This means the game’s final form is basically set. From now on we are not allowed to do any major changes and if something turns out not to work, we need to use smaller tweaks to fix it or just skip it entirely.”
Last but not least, Frictional Games shared a new screenshot from SOMA that can be viewed below.
Enjoy!

Unreal Engine 3 maybe!!! and there are lots of poor texture everywhere…….
Even todays Smart phone can handle more rich graphic.. like my Oneplus one but I am more concerned about the gameplay…
Yeah it looks like a F*CKN joke!
A smartphone is almost as good as those frikking this gen PS4/Xbone LOL!
yea right you pathetic graphic whore. Just enjoy the game for what it is.
slow down bro, we pc gamers want the best and whats wrong wanting more. we got the power so why no fully use it and make a better game? tell me
Because lately it seems that people who scream “downgrade” or “____ has better graphics than this” tend to dismiss a game completely on just that. The freaking graphics. I’m a PC gamer too but damn some of you got to enjoy games for what they are, AND THEN apply whatever graphic mod you want.
easy man,a game with better graphics is well deserved. it will be more effective and atmospheric.
Aehooooooooo….I love these guys! 2015 will an epic year: Witcher 3, Dying light, GTA, Batman, Soma….DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Steam dayONE 4k FTW for sure!
pre-beta means alpha and pre-alpha means you aren’t working on a game yet. from the description, the game is just in beta.
Pre-beta means Alpha and Alpha means you roughly have the features you want but nothing is polished.
Hopefully this game will be special like Amnesia…
