War is Hell in Latest Narrative Chapter of Warframe, The Old Peace, Arriving for All Platforms for Free Today from Digital Extremes

  

The Old Peace, Digital Extremes’ pinnacle update of the year and the next major narrative chapter of Warframe's decade-plus expansive story, is available now for free on all platforms. Recall memories of a long-since-passed conflict from the distant star system Tau, including new enemies, two new game modes, The Perita Rebellion and The Descendia, the 63rd playable Warframe, Uriel, expansions and remasters to Warframe's extensive arsenal of abilities and graphical prowess, among other new features.

Warframe’s community has long anticipated the journey to Tau, and exploring its past builds the foundations for the future of the Origin System and beyond. Returning players who have completed The Lotus Eaters can discover a new Quest, The Old Peace, in their Codex, continuing Warframe’s acclaimed Void War narrative. New players starting their journey for the first time can engage with the latest content by completing The Teacher Quest and opting in to unlock two new game modes: Descendia and The Perita Rebellion – matchmaking restrictions and light narrative spoilers apply, check the patch notes for more details. For the full list of Quest prerequisites, please see the Warframe Quest guide here.

“‘What is Warframe?’ is a question we are determined to definitively answer with The Old Peace,” said Rebecca Ford, Creative Director. “We are not only exploring what the ‘war’ in Warframe represents, but also finally diving into a story that the Warframe community has been patiently waiting ages for. Players have heard tales and lore hunted for years around what happened within the Tau system’s mysterious past. Our Operator graphical art remaster gives us new opportunities to convey the heavier emotional weight the stories in Warframe deserve as we continue to build out this surreal yet very human world. I am immensely privileged to work with such a passionately talented team who can create something so monumental for players.”

Additional details on new content arriving in The Old Peace:

Delve deep into memories thought lost to time in The Old Peace story Quest. Recall the Tau moon of Perita and the fragile peace brokered between Orokin and Sentients. Relive the war-torn memories of the Operator and enlist the help of childhood friend, Adis, to uncover the terrors and tragedies of Tau.

Survive for 12 minutes and race to complete objectives in a new game mode, The Perita Rebellion. Choose one of three different missions and encounter a new enemy faction, The Anarchs, made up of Dax, Grineer, and commandeered Prime Warframes. Once the timer is up, tackle a climactic fight against one of three powerful new bosses. Accomplish as many objectives in the 12 minutes and discover hidden collectables to earn temporary buffs, prevail against these challenging foes, and earn honorable rewards.

Delve down the hellish depths of a twisted tower in a second new game mode, Descendia. Enter into a harrowing, layered arena composed of 21 floors to face a wide array of challenges, modified by various Penances. Take respite on occasional checkpoint floors and feel the burden of the descent alleviated with easy returns to floor seven or fourteen to meet with a member of The Devil’s Triad and obtain a temporary Blessing. Return to the tower before its labyrinthian layout resets each week, regularly offering rotating challenges to overcome and treasures to claim.

Meet the latest batch of Protoframes, cursed members of The Devil’s Triad. Last year’s marquee update, Warframe: 1999, introduced Protoframes – humans in a partial Warframe transformation stage. Three new Protoframes compose a new group sent to the past by Dr. Entrati to redeem the sins of a demonic traitor. Converse with Lyon (Harrow), Marie (Wisp), and Roathe (Uriel) in the expanded romance & relationship system and discover their tales. Play the cards right and unlock Captura Dates.

Hold tight the leash of the 63rd Warframe, Uriel, the demon commander, and wield the latest weapon type, the Bayonet. Put the “devil” in The Devil’s Triad with hellish fury commanding three different lesser demons to provide support on the battlefield while taking to the sky as a meteor and setting foes ablaze. Grip the first-ever hybrid weapon class, the Bayonet, taking both Primary and Melee slots. Uriel and the first Bayonet, Vinquibus, can be unlocked instantly with a Platinum purchase or earned in-game by collecting blueprints and required resources within Descendia.

Recall the long-forgotten Focus School ultimate abilities, Tauron Strikes. Each of the five Focus Schools will now receive its own larger-than-life Ultimate ability to turn the tides of war. Rediscover Vexoric, the incisive blade, Cogron, the mighty hammer, Thara, the unwavering bow, Nidri, the righteous staff, and Lorak, the overpowering grimoire. 

Return to the Operator’s chair and create next-gen looks with the Operator/Drifter Graphical Remaster, featuring fully resculpted and brand new customization features. Curate the look for both characters utilizing expanded options for makeup, skin complexion, eyebrows, beards, hair, and more, as well as the ability to select body type separately from the face.

Unlock the newest Prime Warframe and weaponry to reclaim the might of the Orokin Empire. Gyre, the dancing spark, is the next to become Prime, sporting increased health, shield, and sprint speed, alongside two new Prime weapons: the Alternox Prime rifle and the Kestrel Prime throwing glaive. Wield more new Prime weapons long forgotten from the golden age of the Grineer: the Galariak Prime scythe and the Sagek Prime pistol. Any of these new Primes are available to unlock instantly in the Warframe Marketplace with a Platinum purchase or earned for free via gameplay.
