A special shoutout for: A Black Butterfly: A New World For You: Book 2!

After his expedition to the past, Ewan is more powerful and determined than ever before, but navigating trauma in a dangerous world ruled by colonizing gods is never easy. Now he’s fighting for his life in a daunting tournament, fulfilling his promise to the God of Death. The competition is drawing powerful players to the city of sin: an arrogant prince from another land, a band of misfits, an archangel who has never known defeat, the fragments of a god who silenced billions, and a fallen hero whom the gods failed to erase.

He’ll quickly learn that the death tournament is only the beginning of his new troubles. It’s not just his life on the line—the plans of a rebellion hinge on him winning. If he can’t beat the competition, then humanity loses its best shot at reclaiming everything they’ve lost.

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.”

Delve down the hellish depths of a twisted tower in a second new game mode, Descendia.

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.
