Wisp Prime

Our interdimensional beauty is officially becoming Primed! We’ve showcased her in previous Devstreams, but we’re ready to show her off in top form, featuring official Art and a teaser from her Prime Trailer.

As a reminder, she is coming with the Fulmin Prime and Gunsen Prime, in addition to a Prime Syandana and Operator/Drifter suit.

Jackal in the Circuit

We are adding more diversity to the Circuit stage rotation by adding two new Arenas for the Jackal in the Undercroft.

New Incarnon Geneses

Look out for 5 new Incarnons in the Steel Path Circuit schedule:
- Boar
- Gorgon
- Anku
- Angstrum
- Gammacor

These will be added to the Circuit reward rotation, but for those who want instant access to them, we are discussing making these 5 Incarnon Geneses also purchasable from Cavalero for Platinum. Our goal is to simply offer this as an alternative option to players should they wish to skip the wait -- not to make the grind so prohibitive that purchasing is the only option. Only these 5 Incarnons would be available from Cavalero directly, should we take this direction for the Echoes of Duviri update. To be determined!

Argo & Vel - New Warframe / Drifter Melee

Teshin’s Cave has a new Drifter Melee available to take into Duviri. This Mace and Shield weapon mirrors the aesthetic of the Dax Malleus enemies, and will allow for successful Parries to lower the cooldown on your Power Strike.

New Dojo Room - Duviri

Share the world of Duviri with your clan members with the new Dojo Rooms, featuring a customizable skybox that allows you to use the aesthetic of your Spiral of choice!

Kullervo - Retrospective and Community Feedback

Kullervo Survivability


After a week of gathering community feedback, the largest piece of constructive criticism we have seen is in regards to Kullervo’s Survivability. We are aware of the concerns about Kullervo’s ability to be one-shot at higher level content, and are currently testing the following change:
- 0.25s Invulnerability window if Overguard is consumed
- Added Ability Strength scaling for Overguard Cap

This is a Code change, requiring a Cert build, so it will not come in a hotfix. With that said, ability kits are an ongoing process, so we will keep an eye out on community sentiment if further changes or tweaks need to be made.

Kullervo’s Hold Node Retrospective

If you’ve played our latest update, The Seven Crimes of Kullervo, you may be familiar with the new Island where Kullervo can be conquered and acquired. In this release, we experimented with a special node that gave permanent access to this Island regardless of the current Mood Spiral.

While our original intention was to never lock content behind Mood Spirals, performance issues are a reality we need to deal with, and as a result we cannot have all Duviri Islands available in every Spiral.

Once the Kullervo’s Hold special-timed node expires, we will keep an eye on how Kullervo’s acquisition feels with its Spiral-restricted access. If we need to bring back the special Node again in the future, it is an option we are willing to explore.

Other Events this Summer

Recall: Ten-Zero - Starting July 19

We’re continuing our Anniversary celebration with a series of Tactical Alerts featuring some beloved Boss Fights. Participate to earn a variety of awards, including Noggles, the Kydryn Gunblade Skin, and more!

Full details can be found in the official event post.

Dog Days Returns!

Cool off with Dog Days later this year, featuring a Beachcomber Domestik Drone:

Other Tidbits

- Extra Operator Appearance Configs may be coming with Echoes of Duviri, but no promises!
- Pablo mentioned we are looking into allowing players to customize the appearance of their Drifter Melee in Teshin’s cave. No news on whether this is coming with Echoes of Duviri, however!
- Companion Rework is in the works for sometime this year.

Official Art Book

An official Art Book is finally here! Let’s take a look at some of the pages:

The Second Warframe OST is also in production, featuring music from the Sacrifice and onwards -- on 3 Records, nonetheless!
