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.
Tenno, the Origin System is in peril. With the Grineer fleet growing and whispers of a Sentient invasion intensifying, the only hope to combat these forces lies in an ancient relic powerful enough to turn the tide: the Railjack. In Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes' newest Warframe Rising Tide update, coming soon to PC, Tenno will embark on an epic quest to ready their personal Railjack battleship for harrowing, cooperative space combat when Empyrean launches later this year.
Work with your clan members -- or as a clan of one -- to build the Dry Dock, an all-in-one workshop and garage for the Railjack. After the Dry Dock is assembled, Tenno will be tasked with recruiting the reluctant help of A.I., Cephalon Cy, to scour the Origin System for lost Railjack technology to construct the ultimate battleship. And once Empyrean launches, the Railjack can be customized in between missions with new weapons, parts and mods.
This update also features the first steps to the Liset that will prepare it for Empyrean. The Rising Tide update will overhaul select visual aspects of your personal landing craft, adding in updated machines, enhanced lighting, and even a new "moonroof", perfect for basking in the majesty of Origin System starlight.
An assortment of new weapons, armor and cosmetics also will be available in the Rising Tide update starting with the Cumulus Collection, an ethereal assortment of weapons, armor and cosmetics. Additionally new Equinox Antonym Collection offers Warframe's master of day and night a new Antonym Skin that transforms when Equinox shifts forms, as well Equinox's signature Circadian Syandana and signature Astreos Sword and Shield Skin.
Building the Dry Dock and Railjack can be accomplished using resources obtained for free in-game. The Cumulus Collection and Equinox Antonym Collection can be obtained through the Warframe Marketplace.
Warframe's Rising Tide update will be available soon on PC. Look for the console versions in the future.
Empyrean expands the premise of Warframe by handing players and their clanmates the keys to the powerful Railjack battleship. Prepare to soar through the Origin System, explore new territory, and fight hostile forces with serious firepower! With an in-ship interface to control speed and direction, shield deployment, offensive missile volleys and gunner fire - including the ability to deploy Archwings and infiltrate enemy ships - players are now armed with an arsenal of tools to fend off and destroy enemy opposition. Player ships can be upgraded, take damage, and be customized, among many other things.
