Warframe's 50th Warframe is here and a fan-favorite character is making a welcomed return
Warframe's highly-anticipated update, Veilbreaker, is set to launch sometime next month, and to celebrate, developer Digital Extremes has confirmed that all players will get the sci-fi shooter's 50th Warframe, Styanax, for free.
Said to be inspired by the ancient Greek warrior Astyanax, Styanax is described as "a mighty and herculean Warframe" with "formidable abilities and immense power for Warframe players to master on the Origin System". Here's a rundown of what, exactly, those "formidable abilities" are:
Digital Extremes revealed the news courtesy of a gorgeous new anime-style trailer:
That's not all that's coming up, though. We'll also see the return of fan-favorite Grineer Kahl-175 as a playable character.
"After a curious signal is picked up by Daughter of the Entrati family, the Tenno are contacted to investigate a Murex ship near Deimos and find its source," DE teases.
"As Kahl, players will utilize new powerful abilities and tech gained along the way to fight their way through a Sentient onslaught and returning Archon boss enemies aboard the Murex while circumventing their intriguing technology to locate and safely release his brothers from imprisonment."
This means we'll get a load of new weekly missions focussed on Kahl-175, as well as Warframe Voidshell Skins, Kahl-175 cosmetics, the release of the Protea Caladrius Collection, and reworks to select systems including Thrown Weapons.
Finally, Digital Extremes also teases that it's made some changes to the Warframe Prime Vault program, although it stopped short of detailing exactly what those changes will be; expect more information in September.
