Warframe dev talks accessibility, Xbox Series X/S enhancements, and more as new update arrives

Warframe

It's a busy day for Warframe; not only is developer Digital Extremes poised to release the free-to-play sci-fi shooter's latest update, Call of the Tempestarii, on all platforms today, 13th April, it'll be launching its long-awaited Xbox Series X/S update, bringing parity with the recently enhanced PS5 version, at the same time.

Call of the Tempestarii - which comes to consoles in tandem with the Corpus Proxima and the New Railjack update recently seen on PC - introduces a brand-new story quest tied to Warframe Sevagoth and a still relatively mysterious Void Storm mechanic. However, it also aims to build on the groundwork laid in Corpus Proxima and the New Railjack, turning that update's significantly streamlined, more accessible space combat into an experience better integrated with the game's more traditional on-foot action.

Digital Extremes initially introduced Railjacks - essentially pilotable ships for use in deep space combat missions - back in 2019, but as chief operating office Sheldon Carter explains, it became increasingly clear significant portions of players simply weren't engaging with the system. "What we had was the higher the Mastery Rank level you were, which is a way we measure the overall player progression, the more apt you were to have engaged and to be playing with that stuff. And the inverse relationship [was true], so we just felt like that wasn't the goal for the system... it wasn't supposed to be the end-game system, it was supposed to be a system that everybody could engage with."

Apr 13, 2021

Call of Tempestarii Available Now

Warframe - Wintermaker

Board your Railjack and prepare for combat, Tenno! The Corpus Fleet has been spotted orbiting Venus, Neptune and Pluto. Explore the expansive Corpus Proxima regions, push back their fleet in new Railjack Missions and investigate a ghost ship patrolling the periphery in a new Quest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBnAIJOsxI4

ANSWER THE CALL OF THE TEMPESTARII

Call of the Tempestarii soars into the Origin System with a brand-new Quest! Sail into the tumultuous heart of a Void Storm to investigate a mysterious ghost ship patrolling the Corpus Proxima.

There’s more to this seemingly haunted Old War relic than meets the eye though, Tenno. A shadowy figure stands at the helm, beckoning you to uncover its secrets and hear its story. Will you answer the call?

Completing the Call of the Tempestarii Quest will reward you with the Blueprints for a new Warframe, Sevagoth, as well as a unique Prex Card to display aboard your Orbiter.

Make sure you’ve completed The Deadlock Protocol Quest to begin!

NEW WARFRAME: SEVAGOTH

Embody the shadow as Sevagoth, the specter of death. Control the fight from a distance and unleash your Shadow form to gain access to a new set of destructive melee-focused Abilities.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtbYEmIbAc8

SEVAGOTH ABILITIES

REAP
Sevagoth’s Shadow flies outward ravaging enemies in his path. Survivors are damaged by Death’s Harvest over time. The souls of the dead fill the Death Well.
SOW
Plant a death seed in nearby targets to drain their lifeforce. Reap what has been sown to detonate afflicted enemies, dealing a percentage of their health as radial damage. The souls of the dead fill the Death Well.
GLOOM
Summon a radial pulse wave that ensnares and slows enemies, siphoning their lifeforce for the Death Well. Allies within the wave steal health with each attack.
EXALTED SHADOW
When the Death Well fills, Sevagoth’s Shadow form is ready to be released. Tear the enemy asunder with a collection of Melee-focused Abilities
PASSIVE
On death, become Sevagoth’s Shadow and fight to resurrect him by collecting the souls needed to rebuild his tombstone.

SHADOW ABILITIES

EMBRACE
Ghostly hands pull enemies into a flailing mass.
CONSUME
Dash through enemies and rip out their souls to heal Shadow.
DEATH’S HARVEST
Inflict nearby enemies with a harrowing condition.
REUNITE
Sevagoth and his Shadow become one.

Earn the Sevagoth Blueprint by completing the Call of the Tempestarii Quest, or get instant access when you purchase the Sevagoth Collection from the in-game Market!

SEVAGOTH COLLECTION

Put the fear of the Void into your foes with Sevagoth, the reaper of souls. Collection includes Sevagoth, Sevagoth Lucifuge Helmet, Epitaph Sidearm, Vithil Syandana and 3-Day Affinity and Credit Boosters.

SEVAGOTH

The storm-swept, Void-wandering Warframe has returned to harvest living souls. Send forth his Shadow to reap the life of the unwary.

SEVAGOTH LUCIFUGE HELMET

A macabre alternate Helmet for Sevagoth, the Warframe who harbors the Shadow.

EPITAPH SIDEARM

Sevagoth's wrist-mounted sidearm fires a chilling slow-moving slab, guaranteed to slow enemies for easier marksmanship. Charge the shot to fire a punishing high-velocity, high critical chance slab that punches through barriers. Deals additional headshot damage in Sevagoth's hands.

VITHIL SYANDANA

A flowing, contoured Syandana for Sevagoth, the dark Helmsman.

CORPUS PROXIMA AND RAILJACK RETROFIT

Gather your Crew and prepare for takeoff, Tenno. Railjack has undergone a serious retrofit to make it easier than ever to jump into the Corpus Proxima!

The Corpus Proxima, the area of deep space around Venus, Neptune and Pluto, is waiting to be explored. Each new planet’s Proxima offers new Mission nodes, new enemy fighters to dogfight, new enemies to battle aboard Capital Ships and new points of interest.

Two new Railjack Mission types are also available: Orphix and Volatile Missions. Tenno who have played Operation: Orphix Venom will know how best to take on the Sentient threat in Orphix Missions to earn Arcanes. Volatile Missions will challenge Squads to infiltrate a Capital Ship to sabotage it from the inside.

VOID STORMS

The Corpus Proxima is a volatile and dangerous place, and that was before the Corpus fleet arrived! Void Storms run rampant in deep space and wherever the storm goes, chaos is sure to follow.

Void Storms will affect the performance of your Railjack, upping the difficulty substantially, as well as offering new opportunities for Rewards! You’ll also be able to open Relics in Void Storms, giving you new ways to earn Prime gear.

COMMAND YOUR CREW

Your Railjack crew is waiting for you, Tenno!

Recruit, train and customize a crew of NPCs to fill specialized roles aboard your vessel while you play Solo. To hire your crew, level up your Command Intrinsic and pay Ticker a visit in Fortuna. Crewmates will gain Competency Points when you rank up the Command Intrinsic, which you can then spend to improve your crewmate's aptitude.

RAILJACK CAPTAIN's BUNDLE

If you can’t wait to fly headlong into the fight, you’ll find a fully-built Railjack for purchase in the in-game Market, available on its own or through the brand-new Railjack Captain’s Bundle, along with four Crew Slots and the Nautilus Sentinel.

RAILJACK RETROFIT

Introducing the Plexus, your all-in-one Railjack Loadout tool. In this update, we’re changing the way that Avionics, Intrinsics, Ammo and Energy work to feel more in line with the core Warframe experience.

Aboard your own Railjack or in the midst of a deadly Capital Ship stand-off, bring the odds back in your favor with the Plexus. Start customizing your Railjack using the Plexus from your Orbiter, Dry Dock or in one of the new Dry Docks available in Relays.

The Kronia Relay near Saturn and Orcus Relay near Pluto.

8 YEAR ANNIVERSARY MERCH

Get ready to celebrate 8 years of Warframe with brand-new merch! Perfect for any Warframe fan, the 8 Year Anniversary Merch Collection includes a T-Shirt and enamel pin, available now for pre-order!

Gather your Crew, rally your Squad and prepare for takeoff, Tenno.

Forget Destiny, here's how Warframe makes us care about its space stuff

Warframe

Can you believe Warframe came out a whopping eight years ago, in 2013? It was a follow-up to Digital Extremes' Dark Sector, a third person shooter with a knife frisbee gimmick that got a lukewarm reception (though I myself liked it a bunch). Dark Sector was itself a reimagining of a prototype the team had built for a game set not in a fictitious Eastern European setting but in space, and watching it now, you'll be amazed by how much of the DNA of Warframe was established years before the game ever came out.

The Tenno are there, Warframe's space ninjas and guardians of the solar system, in their strange organic armour. And for years, Warframe wasn't a lot more than that to me. A decent enough action title with a lot of grinding, unlocking new "warframes" to fight in. In my mind it's always sat alongside Destiny. Interesting space settings tethered to a treadmill of rote action. But while I've spent the last year or so giving both of these games another go, amused by certain additions (Destiny's bow is a joy to wield and Warframe's Octavia kills enemies with custom music...how could I not) only one of them has managed to grab me.

So if you're interested in playing Warframe, turn back now. I mean it, massive spoilers ahead. If you're remotely interested in playing it already then you'll be served better by experiencing its story for yourself.
