Warframe developer Digital Extremes offered a sneak peek at its latest expansion, Angels of the Zariman, to viewers tuning in to Devstream 160 on Friday, March 11, taking players on a trip to the fabled Zariman Ten Zero to show off exciting new content coming to the action game this spring.

Venture to the Fabled Zariman Ten Zero in ‘Angels of the Zariman’ this April
A direct follow up to The New War, Angels of the Zariman follows the player journey returning to the legendary and fabled Zariman Ten Zero and will introduce a new single-player Quest that continues the story from The New War.
Angels of the Zariman brings players a smaller, new chapter in its Cinematic Quest saga – a riveting free-to-play sci-fi spectacular with 30+ hours of narrative-driven single-player cinematic gameplay. In addition to a brand new Quest, Angels of the Zariman, brings a wealth of additional content and features, including a new Warframe, three new playable mission types, a social hubtown, customizable apartments for players aboard the Zariman Ten Zero, and new Customizations alongside quality of life improvements. Void Shell Skins will be introduced for the first time, which will further increase customization in Warframe allowing players to freely change textures on materials and apply a tint to their Warframe. These Skins will be available to earn as well as purchase. Additionally, Evolving Weapons will make their debut in Warframe, which can be procured from a new NPC aboard the Zariman. These weapons will evolve based on challenges completed in-game, and players can unlock various aspects of these weapons as they progress.
Aboard the Zariman, players will discover new missions and can visit a new social hubtown called the Chrysalith. This new social hubtown will let players seamlessly access procedural missions without load screens. NPCs will also be introduced in the Chrysalith, offering a variety of side missions and objectives to pursue.
Players tuning in to Devstream 160 were able to get a first look at the action game’s newest Warframe, Gyre - a formidable Warframe that hones the power of electricity with grace, elegance, and supreme power. More information on Gyre, including her Abilities and signature Weapons and Customizations, will be announced soon.
Three new mission types will be introduced for players completing the Angels of the Zariman Quest that players will be able to select from the Star Chart or from a Bounty NPC in the Chrysalith: Void Flood, Void Cascade, and Void Armageddon. Players who tuned in to Devstream 160 were given a first look at in-progress gameplay from a Void Flood mission - an endless mission type with focus on parkour as players work to collect floating Void Orbs to gain Void Energy used to seal Void Fractures that appear in-mission. Void Orbs can be picked up from fallen enemies, or found in clusters that spawn mid-air for the parkour-inclined.
Angels of the Zariman will also bring some welcomed changes to Eximus enemies and Focus. For complete details and a deeper understanding of Warframe’s upcoming Eximus and Focus rework, please visit the Dev Workshop Preview in the Warframe Forums.
Finally, players who complete the Angels of the Zariman Quest will gain access to a personal apartment aboard the lost ship, complete with customizable options to create a one-of-a-kind home in space they can decorate as they wish.
Kick Off Spring with Nora Night this Week
Nightwave: Nora’s Mix Vol. 1 will be launching this week on all platforms, bringing a mix of unique rewards spanning the old and new with a fresh selection of Acts that allplayers can experience. For more information on Nightwave: Nora’s Mix Vol. 1, including details on upcoming Acts and awesome rewards, visit the Warframe Forums.
The bloodthirsty Warframe Garuda is set to receive some Ability tweaks this week to improve the overall flow and feel of her playstyle with select Abilities receiving invulnerability states while casting. Previously, Garuda would receive a damage buff the lower her health was. This has changed and is now directly tied to how many enemies she takes down. The more players rip and tear their way through and slaughter enemies, the more they’re rewarded for it.
Tweaks to some of Warframe’s lesser-used Augments are also set to debut this week on all platforms, rolling out slight adjustments to more than a dozen Augments with more on the way for a future release.
Celebrate Warframe’s 9 Year Anniversary with Free Content and Garuda Prime Access
Warframe is celebrating its 9th birthday this month with a slew of new content, some free gear, and a brand new entry in its Prime Access program with Garuda Prime. Players who missed out on previous Dex content will be treated to its return, along with a new Dex Skin earnable through weekly alerts. Players can log in during Warframe’s anniversary celebration for a free Wisp Dex Skin. Warframe’s anniversary celebration and Garuda Prime Access kicks off on March 28. More details on Warframe’s anniversary celebrations, along with additional information on Garuda Prime and her Prime gear will be announced soon.
