Digital Extremes announced a series of updates for the game Warframe, beginning with the ‘Iceblade of Narin’ update. This content was scheduled to introduce the 66th Warframe, Narin, alongside new six-player squad missions and a relay hub.

On September 22, the ‘Iceblade of Narin’ update was released across all major platforms. The update included the debut of Narin, the addition of Citrine Prime, and an ability rework for the Warframe Banshee. While most content launched as planned, the ‘Glacial Defiance’ mode and ‘Riven Ascension’ feature were delayed to facilitate bug fixing and polishing.

Looking ahead, the ‘Epoch Operation: Taubound’ is set to run from October 15 to November 17, acting as a precursor to the ‘Warframe: Tau’ expansion.
