After countless years biding their time since the collapse of the Orokin Empire, the Sentients have mustered a full-scale invasion force and are prepared to conquer a shattered and divided Origin System. Discover your power within and take control of new characters, Weapons and a brand-new Warframe as you wage war across the stars.
Rally your Squad and get ready for the biggest narrative expansion to Warframe so far. The Origin System will never be the same.
Prime Resurgence
To prepare, you must make sure your Arsenal is ready for the task ahead. Reawaken the Prime Vanguard with the help of Varzia, a former Dax soldier, in our new Prime Resurgence event beginning November 16.
Familiar with Orokin tech, Varzia has the ability to summon Prime Warframes and Weapons through the power of Aya and Regal Aya. Build your Arsenal with an array of Primes and you’ll be able to take on any threat the Sentients throw at you.
You’ll have to act quickly though, Tenno. Varzia’s abilities are limited, and the availability of Prime Weapons and Warframes will change from week to week.
Play Missions to earn a mysterious new Resource called Aya, and exchange for Relics containing Prime Blueprints from Varzia in Maroo’s Bazaar, or exchange Regal Aya and instantly add Prime Gear to your Arsenal.
Learn more about Prime Resurgence and see the full schedule for the event here. Prime Resurgence will only be available for a limited time.
Plus, mark your calendars for a very special Devstream at 10 a.m. ET on November 30! Be the first to see the full reveal of our new cinematic trailer. Tune in on Twitch with a linked account.
Devstream #158 is coming to your screens on Tuesday, November 30th at 10 a.m ET.
This Devstream occurs on a special date and time to bring you the debut cinematic trailer for The New War, including details on its release.
There’s no more to say - The New War is coming. We invite you to join us for this very special day.
There will be Drops - watch to earn yourself a Riven Mod from our Riven Mod Grab bag! Will you get a Shotgun, Pistol, Melee, or Rifle Riven? Let us know what you get!
Prime Warframes were the pinnacle of Orokin design, forming an elite Vanguard of warriors.
Now, with a looming Sentient threat and all-out war imminent, Varzia Dax will grant you access to some of the Orokin Empire’s most coveted Prime Warframes, Weapons and Gear to prepare your Arsenal for the conflict ahead. Summon a new Vanguard with Prime Resurgence starting November 16.
Varzia Dax is a veteran of the Old War, and one of the few surviving Dax: soldiers of the ancient Orokin Empire. Peerless in combat, the Dax were bodyguards and sworn blades of Orokin nobility. After a run-in with Erra and the Sentients, Varzia has had enough of combat, and instead has chosen to use her familiarity with Orokin tech to reinforce your Arsenal!
Get Rhino Prime and Nyx Prime, plus their Signature Prime Weapons and exclusive Customizations instantly for a limited time, or earn them by opening Relics in-game. With Nyx Prime already available to earn through Void Storm Missions, there are now even more opportunities to obtain this deadly psychic Warframe and her Prime Accessories.
Update 30.9.0 is coming on November 11th to All Platforms.
This video walks you through what to expect, and this written post provides an Update breakdown! Get comfy Dreamers!
Without question, The New War is our biggest priority for 2021 and is in full development swing. But just before The New War comes Update 30.9.0! This Update will be a Mainline for all platforms. It is largely Quality of Life and Bug fixes, with a groundwork for a Prime Vault style event that we alluded to in a prior Devstream. This will be the last Update before The New War (Emergency Hotfixes notwithstanding). It also closes off the year with one of many QOL focused Updates this year. Between completely reworking Railjack at the beginning of the year, tying more lore into the Proxima Regions, and finally connecting all things Adversaries (Liches/Sisters) together with Railjack, we’re seeing things really come together with our ‘rework and reconnect’ mindset. We also spent time this year working on ‘The Arsenal Divide’ among many other QOL driven updates.
This year likely felt a little weird - and not just because we’re still working from home for our 19th month straight. We (finally) released a lot of things that were perhaps revealed too early in hindsight. For us, overcoming our backlog of announcements and turning them into releases has been a priority this year, in addition to a larger ratio of reviews and Quality of Life content in the game. This has likely been particularly challenging for veteran players who may appreciate the motivations behind the changes, but are itching for something new or challenging to do (or in the case of content creators, cover). In many cases, veterans are yearning for that ‘something’ to release as ‘The New War’, which we will discuss in the coming weeks. It is indeed the most exciting story quest in Warframe history, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
But first! Update 30.9.0
In this update you can expect the following:
The much-requested Forma Quality of Life changes!
This included everything covered in our original Dev Workshop, as well as the addition of opening up Sorties and other Level 30 Warframe restricted content to Mastery Rank 30+ players who have Forma installed!
New Warframe Augments!
Xaku, Lavos, and Trinity receive Augments on November 11! You can read about them in our DevStream recap here!
There’s more - too much to cover in this post, so we’ve written additional Workshops:
Early Player Changes. Adding a ‘Tenno Guide’ and an effort toward reducing the early-game time and resource demands. Necramech and Railjack acquisition improvements!
Dojo & Decoration Changes Adding a Spawn item feature, Basic/Advanced Decorating Modes, and much more!
And if you’re looking for ‘What to do in November’ while you wait for The New War:
See here! Alerts and ‘The Story so Far’ abound all month long!
And of course, if you’re wondering how to prepare for The New War?
- Ensure your Codex is in the 'To be Continued' state for 'The New War' Codex Quest entry! - Own a Necramech and a Railjack! We’re making it easier to do this soon, and you’ve got time. Spread the word, Tenno! The New War means battle is on - gear up!
As we continue with our heads down and working steadily on The New War, we want to provide opportunities to make sure you are ready for our upcoming Quest. During the month of November, to help everyone get ready we are doing the following initiatives:

We are amazed by the support and generosity shown by every Tenno, creator, and streamer who, for the second year in a row, lifted together in the 2021 Quest to Conquer Cancer!
As a community, you reached all of our fundraising goals, raising over $115,000 CAD in Donor Drive donations alone! But that’s not all, Tenno: the net proceeds from the sale of all Conquera charity merchandise items including Floofs, pins and t-shirts generated $29,771.90 CAD which Digital Extremes donated directly through Donor Drive on purchasers’ behalf. On top of this, to say thank you for all of your kindness, Digital Extremes has made its own separate donation of $30,000 CAD to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.

TennoGen will return with Round 21! Twenty-one original pieces are coming to the Origin System in the near future!
Because our teams are working diligently to complete and release The New War content update for you before the end of this year, we have made the decision to move the release of Round 21 to early 2022. In the interim, our team will be working towards transferring these items to all platforms for our console Tenno as well!
For artists, please note that this later release of Round 21 will not affect our TennoGen review cadence. We tentatively have our Round 22 deadline scheduled for early 2022, but we will post more details as we approach the end of the year!
With that all said, here’s a look at what’s coming in TennoGen Round 21:
If you have a favourite item that didn’t make it in, don’t be afraid! We’ll be working with several creators throughout the end of the year to get their items across the finish line in time for the Round 22 submission deadline in 2022. Typically, technical or stylistic issues are the primary cause for an item not being included, but we do our best to help pieces with a lot of promise make it into the game.
Artists can expect the feedback mentioned above to be sent out within the next few weeks. As always, if you’re an artist and you’d like some feedback on your submitted pieces, please feel free to reach out and we’ll do our very best to prepare & send a quick writeup for you!
