Set in the far reaches of outer space during a new Dark Age, WarFrame introduces the Tenno, a race on the brink of extinction after being enslaved by the Grineer for centuries. Players enter WarFrame on the cusp of the Grineer's victory over the Tenno until they begin to arm themselves with WarFrames - an ancient exo-skeletal technology only they can operate. Hidden within the Orokin Derelicts of a lost civilization, new WarFrames lie dormant and undiscovered. These artifacts are the Tenno's only hope for survival.

WarFrame is a free-to-play fast-action PvE shooter set in an evolving sci-fi world. Some would call it MMO-Lite as squads of four players band together to advance their characters and battle the oppression of the genocidal Grineer. Throughout their combat missions, players will continually increase the power and abilities of their WarFrame and weapons. Players will raid new areas of space searching for exotic and powerful weapons and WarFrame augmentations to customize their arsenal. With WarFrame's Automatic Mission Generator, the game will offer endless replay as levels are procedurally configured for a unique raid -- every time.

The Glast Gambit, which releases today, features the Infested powers of the newest Warframe, Nidus, along with a new Quest, Weapons, Customizations, Mods, and more.

The Glast Gambit is free and ready to dive into for all players who have completed this year's biggest cinematic quest, The War Within, released in November. Summoned by Ergo Glast of the Perrin Sequence to the outpost known as the Mycona Colony, players will uncover a colony engaged in questionable practices and a mysterious figure key to its success. Profit-driven Corpus aristocrat Nef Anyo has stolen the children of the Mycona and it's up to the Tenno to bring them back. Confront Nef in The Index and beat him at his own game, but beware Tenno, not all is as it seems.

Primary highlights of The Glast Gambit update include:

• NEW WARFRAME: Plague your enemies with the Infested powers of Lotus' newest warrior, Nidus. Spread the Infestation by spawning maggots that seek nearby enemies, manifest plagued tendrils that will immobilize foes, and redistribute the damage you take to infected victims.
• NEW QUEST: Nef Anyo has stolen the children of the Mycona Colony, and the Tenno must challenge Nef in The Index and beat him at his own game.
• NEW WEAPONS: Handle new Weapons and Customizations with care as they have been corrupted by the Infestation.
  • HEMA – Wield this symbiotic burst-rifle designed to leech health to forge its ammo, and then restore health with each headshot.
  • HIRUDO – Rip into the enemy with fists of razor sharp cartilage. Steals health with each critical hit.
  • RIVEN MODS: Expand your strength by wielding new Riven Mods for Secondary Weapons -- but know that you must prove yourself before their powers are revealed.
  • THORAC SYANDANA: Drape yourself with the new sinuous spine of Infested anatomy.
