Warframe developer Digital Extremes has run its first devstream of the year, showcasing a bevy of new content on the way to one of our favourite ninja games ever. The big news is that the next major update, Call of the Tempestarii, is currently on track for a release date some time in March, but there's plenty more to dig into as well.
Call of the Tempestarii is the name for Update 30, and it will introduce "new wrinkles" to Railjack gameplay, as well as a new warframe called Sevagoth. There are all-new Corpus Railjack missions that Digital Extremes says will "incorporate more core Warframe" into the Railjack space combat, plus a return of void storms and command intrinsics.
"This is so metal, it's out of control," says Digital Extremes studio general manager Sheldon Carter. "The idea is to start meshing Railjack more with the core of the game," adds Scott McGregor, Warframe's design director, during devstream 151. With Call of the Tempestarii, Digital Extremes is looking to have Railjack work as connective tissue between eight existing and two new Warframe game modes, where you'll move from a 5-10 minute Railjack sequence, board a ship, play a core mode, then extract back into Railjack.
