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.

Since Warframe first launched in open beta, Warframe players, better known as Tenno, have mastered a wide variety of Warframe armor, tirelessly battled enemies, and pushed the limits of space and underwater combat. With Lunaro, Tenno may look forward to a reprieve from battle with the introduction of this time honored sport.

This new, fast-paced, competitive team sport challenges players to use skill, mobility, teamwork, and creativity for victory and honor. Accessed in-game through the Conclave, Lunaro invites Tenno to join team Sun or team Moon with up to four players per team. Teams must defend their goal while doing their best to score by shooting the ball (or Lunaro) through the opponents' goal. Tenno may defend their zone by smashing the Lunaro out of the opponent's possession or by knocking them down with a crushing hit.

Lunaro is the first of three significant updates planned for Warframe in June and July, culminating with the next incredible cinematic quest experience, The War Within.  Expect more exciting announcements in the coming weeks regarding a complete rework of Warframe's Star Chart, the introduction of new companions, including the cat-like Kavats, and big additions to Warframe's Archwing space combat systems as the Dev team lays the path to The War Within.

Lunaro is set to launch on PC later this week with consoles to follow at a later date.
