Warframe: The New War is Here and the Origin System Will Never Be the Same

Warframe’sNew War’s cinematic expansion has finally arrived, and all of the Origin System will remain forever scarred from the coming conflict. The Sentients — a sinister race of relentlessly-evolving machines — have launched an all-out war of extinction. As that battle rages on, you will discover more about the truth behind the conflict, understanding the Lotus’ past and the nature of your mother-and-child relationship.

You’re going to need more than some fancy moves and a happy trigger finger if you hope to survive, though. Harness the power of the Sentients themselves with the first-ever Sentient-Warframe hybrid Caliban or showcase your martial prowess by grafting their twisted, evolving technology directly onto your other Warframes with our bigger and better Sentient-themed ‘The New War’ Supporter Packs.

The New War is here!

Our most ambitious Cinematic Quest yet, The New War goes beyond just being our biggest cinematic quest to date. It’s the dawn of a new epoch in WarframeIt has lasting implications that will allow you to travel more over the next few months. Tenno will find unexpected allies and enemies, and will see radical changes in areas they have explored for years. Contrary to some other countries, Warframe’s previous Quests, once you complete The New War, it won’t be back to business as usual. “We’ve been keeping our lips tightly sealed about everything that’s coming in The New War,” says Live Ops and Community Director Rebecca Ford. “There’s so much more to the story than what we’ve shown so far, and it goes to some pretty unexpected, bizarre, and emotional places. The Quest itself is the longest we’ve ever created, and once you complete it there is even more to discover. I can’t wait to see how our community reacts — the stage has been set for a wild future.”

Once the dust has settled and you’re digging into The New War’s post-quest surprises, you’ll want to turn the Sentients’ own weapons against them. Caliban is a hybrid Warframe that uses the same devastating technology as Sentients. When using Caliban, for example, you and your fellow Tenno automatically gain resistances to whatever types of damage you’re currently taking.

Don’t get the wrong idea, though. Caliban can hold it down just as well. Your Razor Gyre Ability makes Caliban a vicious vortex that can be used to steer you around battlefields and get at targeted enemies. To make enemies more susceptible to damage, cast Sentient Wrath before you do anything else. If matters get tense, Caliban may summon up to three Conculyst Sentients to help him fight or replenish his shields. Or just unleash Caliban’s Fusion Strike, which fires three converging energy beams, triggering an explosion so powerful that any enemy who survives will be stripped of any armor bonuses.

New Supporter Packs

For Tenno who aren’t afraid to welcome our potential new Sentient overlords, we have something special: The New War Supporter Packs featuring Sentient-themed Customizations that evolve into new forms as Tenno complete challenges, like increasing their Sentient kill-count. When your Warframe takes care of the details, you don’t have to bristle about becoming the Sentient king.

Each Supporter Pack’s tier has its own Protovyre Customization. This includes an Ephemera (new Syandana), Armor Set, and Ephemera. The Sentients’ technology will not be unfamiliar to those who have fought them before. However, Tenno may recognize the Ephemera or Syandana as a sign of a new type of Sentient technology during The New War.

“Each of the new Protovyre Customizations comes with its own set of challenges that, when completed, causes the item to transform into a striking new form,” says Weapons Artist Nikita Leshakov. “Because each stage is a separate Customization that you can swap between, though, I put a lot of effort into making each stage feel distinct. Sentients can be unlike any other in the world. Warframe, and we wanted to create something that evolves and changes just like they do.”

The New War Supporter Packs contains all you need for you to show the dramatic changes in your Tenno’s past as they face their present in this exciting new chapter. Warframe’s story. You can get all the Sentient-themed Customizations in The New War Invasion Pack, but The New War Resistance Pack has more. The Deluxe Skin for Volt gives this Warframe an extra Sentient facelift, and there’s even more Platinum to enhance your Warframe fashion. Or you can go all-out with The New War Reckoning Pack — an enormous offering that includes items from all the previous packs plus the addition of a Sentient Deluxe Skin for Mesa, a Protovyre Armor Set, even more Platinum, and more. Platinum is also available in the In-Game Market to buy the Deluxe Skins and Protovyre Customizations.

While Tenno will be able to acquire Caliban just through playing the content coming in The New War expansion, we’re always looking for ways we can provide even more value to players. That’s why The New War Resistance and Reckoning Packs also come with the Caliban Warframe bundle, so you can unlock and wield the might of this Sentient hybrid and his signature weapon, the Venato Scythe, as you take your first steps into The New War.

However you decide to fight the Sentients in The New War, we can’t wait for you to experience this bold new chapter of Warframe’s story.

Warframe’s New War is available now and can be played on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
