Overview
- Digital Extremes revealed Saturday that Warframe: Tau will arrive later in 2026 and open a new Tau star chart whose launch build centers on Fornax, a rain‑soaked Sentient ring city with a crime economy driven by the addictive substance Bloom.
- The Tau reveal introduced Brysko, a new Chimera Warframe voiced by Matthew Mercer with signature tools including the Rain & Shine brass knuckles, explosive playing cards and the Corecracker revolver.
- Tau adds Portau, Warframe’s first in‑game card mini‑game built on poker‑like mechanics, new Sentient enemy types called the Fornax Drowners, and a mid/late‑2026 roadmap that includes the Iceblade of Narin update, Citrine Prime and a Banshee rework.
- Soulframe reopened Preludes sign‑ups through Sunday, July 12 at 11:59 p.m. EDT to grant access to the current build and previewed the Warsongs Fable arriving this fall that brings the corrupted Vadagar Pact plus a new boss, mounts and fishing tests later this year.
- The announcements set a clear live‑service cadence for both games with seasonal Nightwave events, devstreams and TennoCon 2027 dates that promise staged rollouts and further details in coming months.
