Heir to the twin kingdoms of Tau and Sol, Caliban debuted during The New War as the very first Sentient-Warframe hybrid. True to his origins, he's recently undergone a number of dramatic adaptations for improved playability that every Tenno should know about:
Caliban Rework
Sweeping changes have been made to Caliban's Abilities — not only to increase his overall strength but also to enhance the fantasy of wielding Sentient powers. To that end, this Rework officially formalizes Tau Damage, which Caliban now deals out extensively.
Razor Gyre has become a Status-inflicting "traversal tool," while Sentient Wrath is now more in line with the Crowd Control Abilities found among other Warframes. Casting Lethal Progeny will summon new types of Sentient allies, and Fusion Strike has seen a variety of Quality of Life improvements for a more satisfying experience.
Inspired by the fierce devotion of his mythological namesake, Caliban Orfeo channels both the Old War and the Otherworld with an impressive (but ghastly) new Deluxe Skin. Venture forth boldly in the face of death with Caliban Orfeo, or get the complete Caliban Orfeo Collection to instantly add the Seighe Scythe Skin, Heurodis Ephemera and Heurodis Decoration to your Arsenal, as well. All are available now on the in-game Market.
Free Caliban Giveaway
To celebrate both Caliban's highly-anticipated Rework and his new Orfeo Collection, we're also offering every Tenno a FREE Caliban Warframe (including an accompanying Warframe Slot and pre-installed Orokin Reactor). To earn yours, simply log into Warframe between 11:30 a.m. ET on October 2 and October 16 at 11:59 p.m. ET to claim him from your Inbox!
Get ready to be whisked away to 1999, Tenno! Starting on October 16, you'll have a chance to enter Höllvania and experience a short preview of Warframe: 1999 in our playable demo!
In this taste of the new update, you'll play as Arthur and explore the streets of Höllvania, ride your Atomicycle, fire off the AX-52 and take down the militant Scaldra patrolling the streets in a special Exterminate Mission to get a feel for the 20th century city where Warframe: 1999 takes place.
Completing the demo will also award you with the Protokol Longsword Skin, letting you borrow the look of Arthur's signature melee Weapon to slice and dice your way through the rest of your Warframe Missions!

WHAT IS TENNOGEN?
For newer Tenno who might not be familiar, TennoGen refers to Warframe content created by Tenno, for Tenno. Talented artists from the Warframe community are able to submit their own unique designs for Weapon Skins, Armor, Warframe Skins and more.
HOW DOES THE SUBMISSION PROCESS WORK?
Check out our TennoGen FAQ for all the information you need to get started.
Design submissions are reviewed by Digital Extremes’ internal art department and, if selected, are implemented directly into Warframe! The TennoGen artist involved then receives a 30% revenue share on the Steam sale of their creation(s). So, by adding TennoGen items to your Arsenal, you’re helping to directly support community artists!
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
If you play Warframe on PC, you can discover stunning TennoGen content directly through Steam! If you play on console, you’ll be able to find TennoGen content through the in-game Market, available for Platinum.
