The development team provided Warframe players a close look at the upcoming Isleweaver update arriving for free in June, which further develops the game’s narrative after Warframe: 1999 and spins up the spider-inspired 61st Warframe, Oraxia. Players also got a preview of the latest Prime Warframe, Yareli Prime, arriving May 21, and the upcoming Heirloom cosmetic skins for Valkyr and Vauban. High fantasy fans also received a tantalizing look at a brand new Soulframe trailer with a glimpse at one of the game’s thrilling boss fights against the armored three-headed bear, Bromius.

“Delivering on longtime community requests is one of my absolute favorite parts of working on this game,” said Warframe Creative Director Rebecca Ford. “Players have been shouting from the mountaintops for us to create a ‘Spiderframe’ for years, and Oraxia’s officially here! The ways in which we've tied her into the overall story demonstrates our love towards expanding the weird world of Warframe. Isleweaver welcomes players back to Duviri while continuing the adventure hot off the heels of Warframe: 1999's narrative cliffhangers around our villainous Major Rusalka."

“The reception to our Soulframe announcements at PAX East last year was so positive, we wanted to make sure we came back for fans eager for more,” said Soulframe Creative Director, Geoff Crookes. “Since we were on this very stage over a year ago, we've made so much progress alongside our Preludes players thanks to their feedback like: more rewarding combat, new social features, as well as additional Ancestors and enemies to flesh out the world. We're looking forward to seeing reactions when we show more of Bromius at TennoCon in July.”

Major highlights from Digital Extremes’ PAX East main theater panel:
 

• Isleweaver Narrative Chapter launches June: The Warframe epic continues as players return to the realm of Duviri and face off once again against Major Rusalka, who has seized the royal throne and terrorizes its current subjects. Squad up to take on new Murmur enemies and the latest Clan Operation: Eight Claw.
   
• 61st Warframe, Oraxia: A Warframe inspired by the deadly grace of arachnids has been highly-requested by the community and Digital Extremes has delivered. Oraxia has been subjected to years of isolation, trapped within one of Duviri’s islands. This patient web-weaver was driven mad and now unable to tell friend from foe. Seek out weakened prey to siphon them for health and energy, ensnare enemies in webs, summon spiderlings, and climb along walls only like a spider can, offering a fresh form of mobility in Warframe.
   
• Yareli Prime Access Begins May 21: Ride the waves in style as Yareli Prime, along with her Daikyu Prime bow and Kompressa Prime pistol. Trap troublemakers with dazzling bubbles, drift around on Merulina Prime to close the distance, summon swirling aqua blades, and crush foes under the pressure of a riptide maelstrom.
   
• Valkyr and Vauban Heirloom Skins: Valkyr, the tormented experiment, aims to make witnesses go berserk for her new Heirloom cosmetic July 21 in collaboration with community artist Pertti Bahaa. Valkyr will also receive a substantial rework, strongly improving her overall gameplay. Vauban, the methodical tactician, will bring glory to battle with his own Heirloom cosmetic in early 2026 thanks to a collaboration with community artist Lua_Luminary.
   
• New Soulframe Trailer: Alongside a retrospective of Soulframe’s development journey, PAX attendees got a closer look at the latest environment to explore, Neathuns, as well as another glimpse at the Omen Beast Bromius. Tune into TennoCon’s live Soulframe panel for more details and the full reveal of the Bromius boss fight.
