What to study
The same HUD, now under load: the vitals dial and ability orbs hold their corners while the player draws a bow, and the additions are exactly the combat reads, nothing more. The player nameplate Kris.Xie with its red health bar appears above the dial, the three orbs are now unlocked with wing, figure and wave icons, and the enemy carries a red level 6 badge while a red lantern marks the objective on the rocks. Soulframe does not swap chrome for combat; it annotates the exploration frame with target and objective markers, so the read stays identical and the world stays the focus. Frame at about 98.7s in the Preludes Alpha Gameplay Trailer II (Steam). Alpha footage, so the HUD may change before the Nov 6, 2026 Open Preludes opening.
