Untangle the 65th Warframe’s eternal rivalry between Sirius and Orion, two Warframes controlled as one. Seamlessly swap between each version of the 65th Warframe during combat. As Sirius, hurl his signature scythe across the battlefield to reap and sow while expanding a healing sanctuary to protect allies. As Orion, carve through foes with a devastating slash and summon a roaming black hole that draws enemies into its crushing center. Escalate their conflict through a shared ultimate ability, sending both rivals hurtling into a destructive aerial clash, annihilating anything caught in their path.
Styanax Prime Access enters the arena alongside this update. Forged in glory, Styanax, the indomitable peltast, joins the refined Prime ranks with increased energy and shields, as well as an extra Naramon polarity slot. Take up a new arsenal worthy of a seasoned warrior: the Afentis Prime Speargun and Athodai Prime Pistol, and adorn this champion with the latest Prime Syandana backpiece and Prime Armor attachments. Unlock any of these new Primes instantly in the Warframe Marketplace or earn them for free via gameplay.
Write a new page in the world of Warframe with new cosmetics, weapons, and ability retouches. Unleash a mythic new look to the scholar turned warrior, Dante, and his new Tytonis skin. Wield the infestation of Nidus, the adaptive scourge, once more to experiment with a fresh ability retouch, giving him more survivability and viability in combat. Step beyond familiar realities with the newest scythe melee weapon from either side, Pride, or Wrath, depending on what timeline it came from, Ryoku’s and Vena’s Protoframe hairstyles for the Operator/Drifter, four fresh Atragraph Mod designs to discover, and five new Incarnon weapons to master.
