“When we launched Warframe nearly 14 years ago, we never dreamed of what it truly could become,” said Rebecca Ford, Creative Director of Warframe. “With community at our side, our little passion project blossomed into something more, something meaningful beyond business metrics, beyond player count, beyond data and numbers. Now, we look beyond the stars at this next chapter, and we reach into our hearts with the deepest bow we could ever give to say ‘thank you’ to our community who have trusted us, respected us, and who have helped us shape this big little game into something more than we could have ever imagined. Warframe is for you, Tau is for you, and we are so excited to experience this journey with you together.”

- Main Quest, Tau: Take a trip to the Sentient ring city of Fornax, where Albrecht Entrati awaits the return of the Tenno. Here, the constant black rain and criminal faction in-fighting fuel the criminal underworld. Challenge The Hunra, voiced by Jonathan Bullock (Dynasty Warriors: Origins), a ruthless crime boss who rules the city through the production of an addicting substance, Bloom, and his deadly network of smugglers and enforcers, to uncover the truth of what has become of Tau.
- New Warframe, Brysko (feat. Matthew Mercer): Brought back to life by Albrecht Entrati, Brysko is a Sentient Warframe. Silent to the world, but alive in inner monologue, his creation was for but one mission: infiltrate The Hunra’s inner circle. Let fists fly with his signature new brass knuckles melee weapon, Rain & Shine, his explosive playing cards, and Exalted revolver magnum, the Corecracker.
- First Card Mini-Game, Portau: Play a risky hand and decide what’s worth betting with Portau, Warframe’s first playing card mini-game. Master the Sentient card game, iterating on the rules of poker with its own suite of Blooms, Cores, Moons, and Suns that is extremely popular in The Hunra’s gambling dens.
- New Enemy Faction / New Environment: Descend into the living Sentient metropolis of Fornax, haunted by its past and black rain, as a new mission environment comprising high-end casinos, grimy shipping docks, and dilapidated slums. Defend against the deadly Sentient faction, the Fornax Drowners, who have evolved differently than the Sentients encountered within the Origin System back home.
- New Original Music: Enter another dimension and somber trance with a new original noir trip-hop track, “View From the Top” sung by Canadian vocalist Jill Harris. This ethereal song of longing was first heard in the Warframe: Tau gameplay demo and will be available on most major music streaming platforms soon.
