Warframe’s latest expansion, with a new cinematic quest, Whispers in the Walls, arrives today, along with cross-save beginning its rollout, and the 55th Warframe, Qorvex.
The new quest returns Tenno to the planet of Deimos to investigate Albrecht Entrati’s laboratory in search of clues and answers that might help to understand the past and the current situation, now that the Kalymos Sequence has been activated. The laboratory will be your hub for the mission as you explore and make some discoveries, including the Man in the Wall, a new faction and more.
That secret ally Syndicate will feature Fibonacci, a giant Norg you’ll find in the lab. He’s voiced by recent The Game Awards winner, Neil Newbon (Baldur’s Gate 3). Also featuring is fellow nominee Ben Starr, who will voice Arthur, a character revealed at TennoCon who will later figure in the next expansion, 1999.
The update adds several mission types: Alchemy, Assassination, and Netracells. Alchemy sees you working to fill Crucibles with the right combinations of elemental energy, and defeating any enemies that appear to defend the Crucibles. Assassination involves hunting down the Fragmented One and the enemies the Man in the Wall may send to supplement. In Netracells, squad up and find Void-touched Netracells in the lab–once you’ve discovered enough Keyglyphs to open the doors.
The 55th Warframe, Qorvex also becomes available with the update. Designed by Entrati, it is designed to contain radiation damage, and you can use it to even manifest a liminal trap and crush enemies. Qorvex will be your guardian, continuing by even constructing fusion pillars that can be triggered into a destructive, devastating unibeam.
Beginning today, some players will see an option to merge their Warframe accounts on different platforms, maintaining most inventory and progress from the main account. This is the first wave of players to get the cross-save option. Over time, more waves of players will begin getting this option as the team continues rolling it out in full. Digital Extremes has a FAQ on how things will work, including what does and doesn’t get transferred with account merges. In another move to help with the big changs, they’ve also published an updated returning player guide.
