Warframe’s Fall Is All About Ice, Six‑Player Squads, and the Road to Tau

Digital Extremes just laid out its fall roadmap live from TennoVIP in Seoul… and it’s a packed season for both Warframe and Soulframe.

Iceblade of Narin lands September 23

Warframe’s 66th frame, Narin, arrives free on all platforms September 23 as the first female ice‑themed Warframe. She’s built around crowd control and “sword and ice” play, wielding the Nunchasa bow and dual ice pistols Aksondol.

The update also brings:

• Narin’s Crest, a new relay hub on Yuvan Peak that reveals a hidden side of Earth when selected.
• Glacial Defiance, a new six‑player squad mode played on existing mission levels with new twists, funnelling squads into Melica’s Labroom for rewards.
• Entropic Eximus enemies that spawn across Zariman after opening the Labroom, dropping Entropic Kuva to trade with Cephalon Melica.
• Citrine Prime Access with Prime trim, Steflos Prime shotgun, Corufell Prime scythe, and cosmetics… plus the option to craft her for free.
• Banshee’s rework, plus a free login reward (a base Banshee and a Forma) for logging in between September 23 and October 7.
• New Deluxe Collections for Banshee (Threnodia) and Qorvex (Basilica), and five new TennoGen cosmetics.
• Warframe is releasing on the Samsung Galaxy Store on September 23, with a limited login event granting the Valentine Colour Picker and Manegarmr Ephemera.

Epoch Operation: Taubound is the once‑in‑a‑lifetime push to Tau

October 15 kicks off Epoch Operation: Taubound, a global, time‑limited community event designed to unite players to “build the path to Tau” ahead of Warframe: Tau later this year.

• Veterans who complete The Hex and The Old Peace can start the Prologue to Tau mini‑quest, continuing Lotus‑centric story beats.
• Newer Tenno can join after Vor’s Prize by collecting Moonflesh on Eris to fuel Praghasa’s journey to the Tau system.
• The event is once‑in‑a‑lifetime… once it ends, you won’t be able to revisit Praghasa for the event dialogue or rewards again.

Soulframe Preludes 16: Of Hook & Hound arrives mid‑September

Soulframe’s next free Alpha update lands mid‑September with a focus on immersion and progression.

• A fishing minigame with multiple lures and fish types
• Wolf cub bonding that begins after The Shewolf Snared Fable… your cub grows through exploration and activities, eventually assisting in combat and becoming a mount later this year.
• A dynamic weather system to vary atmosphere and gameplay.
• New gear: a two‑handed mace, caster staff, sidearm rapier, and a witch cosmetic.
• Tempers adjustments that let you dismantle weapons to reclaim Tempers and retune eligible Legendary weapons with Tuvalkane.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to jump back in, this is it… New frame, new squad size, and a community event that literally moves the story toward Tau.
