A new Warframe content update is live, and it brings with it a new mission type for high-level players, some new weapons, the new daily tribute rewards system, and a slew of other tweaks and changes. The highlight feature of the update, titled Chimera, is the new Arbitration mission type, which becomes available for players after they’ve completed the entire Solar Map. These missions task players with fighting their way through challenging level 60+ enemies to earn “new rewards and bigger payouts than normal alerts,” but the catch is that players have only one life, and if they die, that’s game over.
Warframe is many things to many players (whom we call Tenno).
Clad in armor of untold power, they cycle between war and grace in a solar system paralyzed by conflict. Always adapting, evolving, becoming more.
Enemies abound here, from footsoldiers to sprawling leviathans. They will fight you on land, through the skies and in the stars above. Even beyond in the great unknown.
But with your Arsenal, your Abilities, and your potential, there's nothing that can stop you.
"Digital Extremes revealed further details for Warframe’s next Narrative Chapter, The Old Peace, including a Dec. 10 launch date for free on all platforms." - Digital Extremes.
Digital Extremes has been teasing Warframe's Switch 2 version for a few weeks now, and in a recent devstream, the studio revealed that we shouldn't have long to wait before we can get our hands on it.
Accompanied by yet more footage of the game in action, Digital Extremes announced that the Switch 2 native build of Warframe will arrive at some point in 2026. There are no specifics outside of that initial window, we should add, though the team stated that they'll be releasing it "as early as we possibly can in the new year".
The fresh footage showed the game running in handheld on Switch 2 with DLSS enabled, and we have to say, it looks pretty solid. This is still a dev build, but it gives a good indication of load times and how things will fare in close-combat.
Outstanding update. I have been playing Warframe ever since I beat Destiny's CoO. Have not looked back.
I quit after the 1000 day reward. I might go back if they change Sorties as well.
I plan to get into this when it comes to the Switch, can't wait to try it. I've heard so many good things.
Way more in this update than I was expecting. And this is just in preparation for Fortuna. DE doesn't get nearly as much credit as they deserve as a studio.
