NEW CINEMATIC QUEST: THE OLD PEACE

Using Albrecht’s Dark Refractory, delve deep into memories thought lost to time, memories of Tau and the fragile peace brokered between Orokin and Sentient. What happened in the past to make such bitter enemies in the present? With the help of your friend, Adis Truth-bloom, only the Tenno can uncover the real story of Tau.

During The Old Peace Quest, you’ll relive the war-torn memories of the Operator and Excalibur Prime. The latter’s usage is solely tied to the Quest and does not carry over to your Arsenal if you do not own him. It’s important we continue to honor our Founders in this memory with the Prime that breathed life into Warframe. We hope you enjoy this experience!

At certain key pivotal moments, you will come upon Somatic Bearers in the form of a spectral Excalibur Prime kneeling. This is a place to escape the horrors of war and remember that you are not alone in this fight. Tenno who have played the Quest before you may leave behind a memory here for you to call upon for aid and you too can do the same for those who come after.

The Tau levels in the quest feature new volumetric wind, an experimental system that delivers more realistic wind interactions. In the quest, this allows certain abilities and weapons to blow particles and cloth around. We will be slowly rolling this system out in the game in the future.
