Long-Awaited The New War Update For Warframe Coming This December

Free-to-play sci-fi shooter-slasher Warframe is finally getting its long-awaited continuation to its cinematic questline. The last cinematic questline, The Sacrifice, was released in 2018.

Now with a release date in sight, the devs at Digital Extremes are celebrating the upcoming major update with the release of CG trailer done by Blur Studios, setting up the events that are going to unfold in The New War.

It’s also filled with spoilers, but if you never touched the game yet it’s all presented without any context, and should make you intrigued by what is it all about.

As previously teased in the last TennoCon, The New War will see you controlling different characters throughout the quest, including Kahl-175 the Grineer, Veso the Corpus Tech, and the Dax: Teshin, all fighting at different fronts of this sci-fi war.

While this is happening, you will also be unravelling the mysterious past of the Lotus.

New players to Warframe will need to complete the previous quests first before attempting on The New War. A new UI system called the Tenno Guide will help point you through the questline and will be auto-enabled upon login ( but you can turn it off in the options menu).

Also, players need to complete the following in order to access The New War:

  • Build an Archwing (complete The Archwing Quest)
  • Build or Purchase a Railjack (complete Rising Tide Quest)
  • Build or Purchase Necramech (complete The War Within and Heart Of Deimos Quest)
  • Unlock Operator (complete The Second Dream Quest)

The New War will also be adding new customisations, new weapons and accessories, as well as the arrival of Caliban, the 48th playable Warframe.

The New War update for Warframe will arrive on December 15 for the PS4, PS5, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
