Warframe’s next big update was apparently designed for me personally, as it includes a David Bowie-themed frame, a tonne of great QOL improvements, and a horribly mutated boy band

The Warframe dev studio Digital Extremes is well-known for its lengthy, fun, and informative devstreams at this point — indeed, you could argue that they’re a big part of the game’s success, as it’s pleasing to see a group of devs who really care about their game gather to openly discuss its future, address thoughts and concerns from players, and tease cool new stuff.

Well, we’ve just had the first devstream of 2025, and oh boy, it was a doozy. I’m usually watching intently during these live-streamed events, but this one had me actually grinning at my screen; hell, I’d go so far as to say that Warframe’s game director Rebecca Ford somehow gazed directly into my brain to assemble the script for the team’s 184th devstream, because this one felt rather specifically curated to me and the things I love most.

First up? David Bowie, obviously. Yes, the next warframe to be added to the game — the 60th unique playable frame — is Temple (not ‘Tempo’ as some people apparently misheard during the stream), an extremely funky glam-rock-styled character who was directly inspired by David Bowie and appropriately uses a guitar as their signature weapon. Oh, and they’re canonically non-binary too, which made me (a queer mess of a human being) rather happy.

Digital Extremes is partnering up with Grammy-nominated American prog-metal band Periphery for some appropriate audio deliciousness for Temple, presumably trying to capture that elusive genre of ‘songs to kill monsters with a guitar to’. Dope. Did I mention the new frame is Bowie-inspired? Sorry, I’ve got Rock 'n' Roll Suicide playing at maximum volume right now, I can’t hear you.

Alright, I’ll chill. I’ve switched over to Soul Love now. What else did we get in Devstream 184? A whole heap of stuff, actually: Hot on the heels of the game’s excellent 1999 update, the reveal of alchemical frame Lavos’ primed variant, TennoCon 2025 tickets going on sale, and a couple of returning events — Star Days and Belly of the Beast — were among my
