LONDON, Ontario – Aug. 26, 2025 – Digital Extremes is ready to slice into Summer, debuting its next Prime Warframe, Caliban. In this new form, Caliban brings increased energy, shields, and an extra Attack Polarity to the Arsenal. Caliban’s signature scythe, Venato Prime, will help slice through those foolish enough to get too close, alongside a brand-new weapon, Vadarya Prime, a sniper rifle that can electrify from a great distance.
"Caliban Prime was specifically selected as our next Prime Warframe to be an intentional step toward The Old Peace,” said Megan Everett, Community Director. “Our Primes are a pivotal window into the lore of Warframe’s history pre-dating the player journey in-game, and later this year, The Old Peace will let us experience it firsthand. We want Primes to go beyond fancy cosmetics, expanding on Warframe’s world-building by reimagining familiar playable characters in their ‘original’ form. The community’s response to Caliban Prime’s in-game reveal during our TennoCon demo is encouraging as we continue to find more creative ways to introduce new Primes in addition to the fun Prime trailers we all love.”
Wield the deadly duality of Caliban Prime to:
- Embody Caliban, the heir of two kingdoms and an ancient survivor of The Old War. Forged in a fragile partnership between the Orokin and Sentients, Caliban Prime represents a masterpiece collaboration between the two most powerful tech empires in any known star system.
- Dash forward as a spinning vortex to cut down enemies, slam the ground to create a radial shockwave suspending surviving assailants mid-air, summon Prime Sentient constructs to further damage foes, or buff defenses. Melt down larger enemies in a cone of three Tau energy streams that converge into one brutal beam of destruction.
- Equip the latest in Prime weaponry: Caliban’s signature melee scythe, Venato Prime, and a brand-new long-distance rifle uncovered from the Orokin archives, Vadarya Prime. This electrifying covert weapon turns struck enemies into lightning rods, with a chance for bolts of lightning that can chain jump to nearby targets.
- Expand cosmetic accessory options with:
- The Tauron Prime Regalia outfit for the Operator and Drifter
- The Neurovyre Prime Syandana backpiece
- Exclusive Caliban Prime Glyphs
- 90-Day Affinity and Resource Boosters.
Today, players can also discover stunning community-designed cosmetics as part of the TennoGen Factions collection, all inspired by various Warframe enemy factions. These are available from the in-game Warframe Marketplace, and include:
- The Gauss Profitas Warframe skin
- Xikonos Syandana backpiece
- Whip Jotunheim weapon skin
- Xairaks leg and chest armor pieces
