Digital Extremes closed out TennoCon 2026 in London, Ontario this weekend with the reveal of Warframe: Tau, an update taking players beyond the Origin System for the primary time in the sport’s history. The brand new region of space orbits a binary star and arrives later this yr, headlining a show that also named Warframe’s fall update, opened Soulframe to everyone for a weekend, and confirmed a Fortnite crossover.
Warframe: Tau
Your first steps into Tau begin in Fornax, a lawless Sentient ring city drenched in waves of madness-inducing black rain. The TennoCon gameplay demo had players sneaking into the center of the town, past the addicts in its slums and the thugs working its docks, to achieve the casino at its center. Digital Extremes says this is just the start, with one other still-unrevealed location launching alongside the total update later in 2026.
Leading the best way is Brysko, a noir-inspired Warframe working with Albrecht Entrati to infiltrate the Sentient criminal underworld. He’s silent to the world but narrates every part through an inner monologue, and he comes with two signature weapons: the Corecracker, an Exalted Pistol, and Rain & Shine, a pair of fist weapons. Standing between him and answers are the Fornax Drowners, a brand new faction of Sentient enemies that has evolved well beyond the familiar foes of the Origin System, all working under the Hunra, the kingpin who controls the town’s rackets through violence, fear, and Bloom.
Tau also introduces Portau, Warframe’s first original card game, built on suits of Blooms, Cores, Moons, and Suns and played on the tables of the Fornax casino. The demo’s musical number, “View From The Top,” sung by the Sentient crooner Larynde, now has a visualizer available on the official Warframe YouTube channel.
Your Own Personal Vessel
Players who entered this yr’s in-game TennoLive Relay got the primary take a look at the Vessel, a brand new personal ship joining the Tenno fleet. The Relay stays open until July 13 at 7:00 AM Pacific (10:00 AM Eastern), and starting that very same day, anyone who has accomplished Vor’s Prize will find a way to view and personalize their Vessel from any Dry Dock on the Star Chart. Digital Extremes also teased two characters, Arturos and Zioa, who will answer their calling later this yr.
Iceblade of Narin Arrives This Fall
Before Tau opens, Warframe has a fall update on the best way, now officially named Iceblade of Narin. The update introduces the sport’s 66th Warframe, two recent Deluxe Collections, a rework, and the following Prime Access release, with more details coming through the next Devstream on September 4.
Banshee is getting her first Deluxe Collection since 2016, a nightmare and nocturnal-themed set designed by community artist Mischka, together with a rework geared toward improving her sound-based abilities and overall playability. Qorvex is receiving a Deluxe skin of his own inspired by gargoyles and gothic architecture, while Citrine will headline the following Prime Access later this yr alongside upgraded Prime weapons and accessories.
Soulframe Opens to Everyone This Weekend
Digital Extremes can be using TennoCon to open Soulframe’s gates, running an Open Preludes Weekend through Sunday, July 12 at 8:59 PM Pacific (11:59 PM Eastern). Anyone who creates an account and downloads the sport through the window keeps everlasting access through every future Preludes update.
The Soulframe portion of the show also premiered Warsongs: A Soulframe Fable, introducing Bayor, an Envoy sworn to Synod and the Ode, together with childhood memories explored alongside Doyen, wolf-back riding, and a brand new progression path built around embracing the corruption of the Vadagar. The complete event recap covers a brand new Pact, the upcoming addition of fishing, mounts, and the Mendicant Reinbreaker, a boss you’ll be able to challenge in-game immediately.
All the things Else From TennoCon 2026
August is shaping as much as be a busy month for Warframe, starting with the return of the Dog Days summer event on August 4, which brings 4 recent Glyphs designed by community artist SpaceWaifu. Amir of the Hex follows with Amir’s Shockwave, a double dose of 1999-themed content that features his own remixed edition of Nightwave with recent rewards and a KIM narrative adventure called Fables & Frontiers: Running Late.
Outside the sport, Warframe is crossing into Fortnite for the primary time with an Excalibur Outfit, letting players drop onto the Island because the franchise’s original swordsman. Digital Extremes can be taking TennoVIP on tour with developer stops planned for South Korea, China, London, and Glasgow, and the Mesa Heirloom Collection is accessible now, adding her signature brimmed Signa and travel-worn Duster attachments. Warframe: Tau still doesn’t have a firm date beyond its later-this-year window, though Digital Extremes has confirmed there’s more of the Tau System left to indicate before launch.
