Warframe to Start Cross-Save Rollout with December’s Whispers in the Walls Update

wccftech.com:

Today, during the 175th monthly developer stream aired via Twitch, Digital Extremes unveiled new gameplay and details for the upcoming Warframe cinematic quest Whispers in the Walls.

The eponymous update will go live in December (the exact date will be revealed at The Game Awards), adding a new enemy faction, a Grimoire book weapon class, a player hub, environment tilesets, an ally syndicate, a revamped heavy attack system, and of course the new cinematic quest.

The narrative premise is that players will finally obtain answers they've longed for ever since the dawn of Warframe. They'll have to step in the crossfire between the Entrati and a mysterious entity only known as 'the Man in the Wall'. In the quest, players will also encounter a brand new enemy type, the Murmur.

With the newly added Grimoire (a secondary weapon), Tennos will wield the power of the Void, blasting foes left and right with eldritch spells. The Grimoire will get progressively more powerful as players uncover new pages over the course of the Whispers in the Walls storyline. Content-wise, two mission types (Alchemy and Netracells) have been added, while the Assassination mission type has been refreshed with new mechanics. The new environmental tileset comes with significant visual improvements.

The new hub zone called Sanctum will feature new friendly faces like Loid, who has long been trapped in cryosleep for untold ages. After the completion of the cinematic quest, a new Tennokai power will be available: a free random Melee Heavy Attack that does not reset the Combo counter.

Players can unlock the 55th Warframe, Qorvex. This newly discovered Entrati void project is equipped with collapsing wall traps and fusion reactor pillars.
