For a certain group of space ninja enthusiasts, few things will be as exciting as the upcoming Warframe update. Fortuna - the game's next open world expansion - is due to land on PC pretty shortly. This November, in fact.
For those a little out of the Warframe loop, Fortuna is a Plains of Eidolon-esque update which allows players to explore the planet of Venus in an open world environment. Fortuna itself is an underground city inhabited by the Solaris: body-augmented workers indebted to the Corpus, who are (as usual) up to no good on the planet. Players will also be able to explore the terraformed snowy above-ground environment (the Orb Vallis) by hoverboard on vehicles known as "K-Drives"), and even stop off for a spot of robo-fishing. And let's be honest, it's all about the fishing.
As a new player, when I first encountered the Plains of Eidolon (PoE) update - Fortuna's sister expansion - I found it was somewhat difficult for beginners to understand exactly what was happening, particularly in comparison to the simplicity of Warframe's closed levels. While PoE was a beautiful and exciting place to explore, vast swathes of the plains did sometimes feel a little empty, while some players complained the grind was too extreme, even for a free to play game like Warframe.
