GRENDEL: Consume in feeding frenzy fashion with our 42nd Warframe! The Leverian reveals all…

MELEE CHANGES PHASE 2: Melee has evolved again with a focus on TECHNIQUE – Stance/Combo reworks, the return of Equipped Melee, and MUCH more.

VAUBAN & EMBER REWORK: Revisited to better accent their themes and offer more ways to play!

KUVA LICHES: Twisted new Kuva spiked foes await – The death of Grineer bathed in crimson fuels an undying thirst for its creator: YOU.
