Chinese media conglomerate Tencent have bought Leyou, a name which might not mean much to you but you’ll know some of their subsidiaries: Warframe developers Digital Extremes, and Dirty Bomb devs Splash Damage. Both those studios have issued statements saying hey, don’t sweat it, this will be fine.

Ultrawide gaming monitors are the kind of hardware that might seem too excessive, maybe even a bit too gamer> to bother with for playing games on PC, especially when their demanding resolutions often require powerful graphics cards to make the most of them. Once you try one, though, there’s no going back. I’ve been a big fan of ultrawide gaming monitors for years now, mostly because supported PC games just look fantastic on them. And that’s why I’ve put together this list of the best ultrawide games on PC – to show you exactly what they look like in the flesh, complete with GIFs and photos of them running on an ultrawide monitor so you can see them in motion with your own peepers.

If you’re finding your PC has become overloaded with gigantic game files, the Warframe devs have a nice plan in store for you to free up some space on your hard drives. Next week, Digital Extremes are kicking off a series of updates for the spacefaring shoot-em-up that will eventually reduce the size of Warframe by a very polite 15GB.

Ah, I don’t even need to say it, do I? We’re all thinking it. If only Call Of Duty: Warzone and its monstrous drive space demands would follow suit.

Digital Extremes’ MMO shoot-em-up Warframe gets a meaty and, well, pretty gross-looking expansion today. It’s called The Heart Of Deimos, and it plops you Tennos onto the titular Martian moon to kill some Infested aliens and figure out what they’re up to (you know, aside from making everything look plague-ridden).

This expansion is introducing a big new open world area, as well as Warframe power customisation, new K-Drives (which you’ll be able to shoot from!), new story missions, and loads more good stuff.

You could accuse Digital Extremes of being a bit on the nose with their latest Warframe expansion. The world is in the grip of a pandemic and up they pop at their annual TennoCon convention (now streamed, for full social distancing) with Heart Of Deimos: a gooey, pulsating update revolving around a trip to a moon in the grip of a parasitic infestation. But unlike real life, on Deimos you can distract yourself from lockdown woes by riding a giant dragonfly. Imagine steering one of those bad boys to Durham Castle.

‘s gone and infested an entire moon with creepy crawlies for its Heart Of Deimos expansion. Shown properly for the first time during today’s Waframe fan event livestream, the expansion also includes other cool stuff, like customisable Warframe powers and a huge new open world area. But I’m more interested in the pair of gigantic worms endlessly warring to take control of the moon. At least, that’s what I think they’re doing. Guess we’ll find out when the expansion releases on August 25th.

Digital Extremes’ fifth annual Warframe event, TennoCon, kicks off next week on August 1st (albeit digitally this year thanks to that pandemic). They’ll be revealing the details of the game’s next expansion, Heart Of Deimos, and to pique players’ interest, they’ve released a tidbit of info and a cheeky teaser for said expansion already. It’ll all revolve around the Infested – an alien faction taken over by techno-organic parasites (sounds painful). And, actually that’s about it for now.

Here’s the teaser trailer – complete with dramatic choral music, freaky alien beasts, and a peek at some shiny new items.

Well, as pretty much every event has gone online and been delayed at least once this year, this comes as no surprise. Warframe‘s TennoCon fan event already went online-only for this year, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, and has now moved back its date. Previously planned for July 11th, TennoCon 2020 is now coming on August 1st.

When Warframe set up shop in 2012, it was a simple thing. A few rooms, a few baddies, and a good helping of backflips. But with each update bringing increasingly fanciful new designs, the free-to-play slasher’s oldest hallways are starting to look rather dusty. That’s why the devs are unpacking their toolkits for a little bit of D.I.Y – re-imagining the game’s ancient Corpus environments to meet modern Warframe’s lavish expectations.

A new threat is preparing to take on Warframe‘s interstellar ninjas. Operation Scarlet Spear kicks off next month, pushing the sci-fi stakes higher as The Sentient begin their system-wide invasion. Wait, we’re having visitors? Oh gosh, but the place is a mess. Before the next battle can begin in earnest, developers Digital Extremes have decided to put together a doozy of a housekeeping update, bringing dozens of quality-of-life changes to Warframe early next week.
