[h2]Yareli Prime - Coming May 21![/h2]
In a crashing of the waves comes Yareli Prime, releasing May 21st with our Interim Cert Build!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3]Yareli Prime[/h3]
The Waverider arises, reborn from the ocean foam. In her original Orokin-era splendour she embodies the undying vigor of youth.

Merulina Prime
Yareli Prime’s living board is the epitome of elegance and style

Daikyu Prime
Long believed lost, the mighty Daikyu Prime was the pride of many a Tenno dojo. The strength demanded to draw it is repaid in added range and power.

Kompressa Prime
Glinting like a golden dawn, Yareli Prime’s signature pistol engulfs foes in a cascade of virulent, explosive, water globules. None can escape the sea.

[h3]Yareli Prime Accessories[/h3]

Merulina Prime Syandana
Yareli Prime’s faithful water-glider is happy to adorn her body as an additional ornament.

Thalassa Prime Ephemera
Creatures of the deep circle and play in your wake. Yareli Prime’s signature ephemera.

Merulina Prime Domestik Drone
Merulina’s tiny spawn are used to foraging on the sea bed, and adapt easily to nibbling up dirt from an Orbiter floor.


[hr][/hr]
[h2]Kullervo Apostate Deluxe Skin[/h2]
Joining Yareli Prime will be the Kullervo Apostate Deluxe skin, releasing in the Interim Cert Update on May 21st!

Kullervo Apostate Skin
The eternal outcast has nothing left to fear. Kullervo embodies rebellion and the will to endure whatever the oppressor can dish out.

Kullervo Apostate Baneful Blades
Kullervo Apostate’s signature adornment. These blades can be equipped/unequipped via the Auxiliary option. They can also be equipped on other Kullervo skins. You can also use the default Baneful Blades on the Kullervo Apostate Skin.

[h2]Isleweaver - Coming June 2025[/h2]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Let’s talk about our upcoming June update—Isleweaver!. To play Isleweaver, the player must have completed The Hex Quest. Isleweaver has the Tenno return to Duviri to tackle a new permanent node!

A certain “she-devil” has returned. Major Rusalka has turned up in Duviri alongside a Murmur armada, claiming a stake to the ethereal realm. The Drifter caused havoc in her world, now she’s looking to settle the score.

Rusalka’s invasion into Duviri has left Dominus Thrax himself retreating into the Undercroft and our Dormizone, and revealed long-standing secrets lurking in this emotionally-torn dimension.

With Isleweaver, a new permanent node opens up in Duviri, where your Warframe will face off against the Murmur and engage in classic Duviri gameplay—that’s right, Drifter, time to take a backseat. Rebecca Ford gives us the rundown here!

Our Principal Writer, Kat Kingsley, spoke more about Rusalka's return and what their presence means for the fate of Duviri and the Indifference.

[h3]Oraxia[/h3]
Our 61st Warframe—ORAXIA! Seek out weakened prey to siphon them for Health and Energy, ensnare your enemies in webs, summon spiderlings, and climb along walls only like a spider can, offering a fresh form of mobility in Warframe. Yes, Spiderframe is finally confirmed.


Oraxia has been subjected to years of isolation, trapped within one of Duviri’s islands. This patient web-weaver was driven mad and now unable to tell friend from foe. Rusalka’s invasion reveals this new mini-boss to us, a Warframe we must take down.

As well, Oraxia will bring with her an Alternate Helmet, new Armor, a Melee Whip and a Secondary Throwing Weapon!

More details to come with Oraxia’s abilities!

[h3]Clan Event: Operation: Eight Claw[/h3]
Operation: Eight Claw expands on the previously-mentioned new permanent node to the Star Chart. Similar to Jade Shadows with Operation: Belly of the Beast, this Operation will launch alongside the release of Isleweaver.

Some of the rewards included with Operation: Eight Claw include a new evolving Signa and a new Incarnon Heavy Scythe!

[h3]Citrine Deluxe[/h3]
Additionally, we showed off Citrine’s Deluxe skin in-game, which will be coming with Isleweaver!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Heirloom Skins[/h2]
We also revealed our incoming Heirloom skins: Valkyr and Vauban Heirlooms!

[h3]Valkyr Heirloom[/h3]
First on the docket is our Valkyr Heirloom, releasing on July 21st!


Designed by community artist Pertti Bahaa, we’ve worked together to bring this goddess of war to the next level. Here’s a quick look at her in-game!

[h3]Vauban Heirloom[/h3]
While not arriving alongside Valkyr Heirloom, we wanted to reveal our next male Heirloom skin with Vauban Heirloom! Thank you to community artist Lua_Luminary for crafting the original concept that we’re excited to work on!


Vauban Heirloom will enter the Market in the early months of 2026, not unlike how Rhino Heirloom launched early this year!

Thanks for reading, Tenno!

Warframe's next major update gives the monster sickos what they've been begging for: a Spider warframe at long last

The next big Warframe update has been revealed at Pax East, and is bringing the playerbase a long-speculated warframe concept. Oraxia, a spider-themed warframe, will be a major part of the Isleweaver update set to go live in June. A specific date has yet to be announced.

Warframe is being massively overhauled to help welcome in new players

Warframe, like any long-running MMO or live service game, is overwhelming. What started as a third-person action game where you take control of bio-mechanical suits has grown into something much, much bigger. Digital Extremes has spent the last 12 years throwing everything but the kitchen sink into Warframe, with fishing, dating, hoverboards, and just about anything else you can imagine already in the game. That's why, throughout 2025, the team is going to make Warframe much easier to understand for new players.

Isleweaver Coming in June

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
No need to adjust your television sets, Tenno. You're not in a Spiral yet, but you'll see the floating islands of Duviri in a whole new way when Isleweaver launches this June!

That's right, announced live in the Main Theatre at PAX East, Isleweaver will be turning Duviri on its head very soon.

Along with the return of Major Neci Rusalka, Isleweaver brings the 61st Warframe: Oraxia, and the opportunity to unleash your Warframes in Duviri with a unique twist on Duviri gameplay.

Join together with your Clan to take on Operation: Eight Claw and earn Arcanes, Customizations, and more!

[h2]Isleweaver[/h2]


Dominus Thrax is outwardly repulsed but inwardly terrified of the Major's and the Murmur’s recent incursion into his territory.

To expedite her swift removal from the Kingdom of Duviri, Thrax is allowing the Tenno to use their Warframes in Duviri for the first time outside of the Circuit!

Embark on a new journey across Duviri to put a stop to the Murmur invasion before the Indifference can claim the mind-bending floating islands for itself.

[h2]Oraxia: Ensnaring Hunter[/h2]


The patient hunter Oraxia has made the Scholar's Landing her lair. There she lurks, driven too mad to tell friend from foe, awaiting those foolish enough to wander into her trap.

Slip the spider's snare and defeat Oraxia to earn Scuttler's Husks, which you can trade for Oraxia Warframe Component Blueprints as well as Blueprints for her signature Weapons.

Oraxia's Abilities center around isolating and executing weakened enemies, using her wall-crawling mobility to outmaneuver the enemy, and encasing her prey in immobilizing webs.

Seek out weakened prey to siphon them for health and energy!

[h2] Valkyr Rework [/h2]

In Isleweaver, the ferocious and furious Warframe Valkyr will be receiving some changes to dial in her wild berserker playstyle.

Channel her Rage in an all-new way as you rip and tear your way through enemies!

Learn more about the changes in our full Dev Workshop.

Are you ready to return to Duviri next month, Tenno? Stay tuned for more details on when you can play Isleweaver very soon!
