Warframe is preparing to launch its next big expansion, the Heart of Deimos, and with it comes the spacefaring MMO's third big open world zone. Deimos, Mars' second moon, is completely choked with Infested growth, and a new questline takes you there to discover what's brought Deimos back into the solar system and prevent an interdimensional catastrophe.
Developer Digital Extremes announced the Heart of Deimos release date at TennoCon 2020 today, and it's coming soon: the expansion will launch on all platforms - a first for Warframe - August 25. When it arrives, we'll be able to look forward to exploring one of the most interesting, as well as most disgusting, environments that Digital Extremes has created to date.
The Deimos open world zone is called the Cambion Drift. It's a combination of a hand-crafted surface layer that's noticeably more vertical than the Plains of Eidolon and the Orb Vallis areas introduced in years past, and a semi procedurally generated network of tunnels underground. Everywhere you look, the Infested's biological rot can be seen in the form of brown connective tissue and glowing orange boils.
