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.

Digital Extremes revealed further details for Warframe’s next Narrative Chapter, The Old Peace, arriving in December, during a haunted Halloween Devstream. Dark details were unearthed around The Devil’s Triad, a side story launching alongside Digital Extremes’ pinnacle Warframe update of the year. Featuring a complete narrative to discover, The Devil’s Triad introduces three new Protoframes and Gemini Skins, an expanded relationship and romance system, and a devilish new game mode: The Descendia. The studio also summoned a first look at Gyre Prime, game-changing Focus School Expansion enhancements, the Warframe on Android closed beta test for November, and teased the return of TennoCon (July 10-11, 2026).

“Much like our first set of Protoframes, we are taking a big swing with these new characters,” said Megan Everett, Community Director. “Everyone was expecting us to do something more ‘80s or 2000s themed designs and lore next for new humanoid Warframes, so naturally, we went gothic horror to keep you all on your toes. It gives us such a thrill now to see people’s reactions when they meet a new Protoframe for the first time, or when they discover who voices them, or are already planning how they want to customize their Gemini skin. We are so grateful for the community’s trust when we try something weird like this. I just hope the players are ready to make a deal with the devil to get to the bottom of what’s up with these three…” 

Highlights from the October Devstream include:

Encounter The Devil’s Triad – three Protoframes bound by the dark legacy of Albrecht Entrati in The Devil’s Triad side story:
