This year's TennoLive mainstage presentation took us beyond the limits of the Origin System to Tau, a place that until now has only existed in our collective dreams (and of course, memories via The Old Peace). Community Director Megan Everett guided Tenno through their first foray into Warframe's first ENTIRELY NEW star system, which will include fresh worlds to explore as ongoing cinematic narrative flourishes in a massive new region beyond anything you've ever known.
Coming to all platforms later this year, our next major update will begin to answer the question: "What has become of Tau?" While the future will ultimately offer a wider look at this vast binary star system, the path to get there begins in Fornax — a sprawling Sentient metropolis consisting of Slums, Docks, and seedy gambling dens. The extent of Fornax's corruption is apparent in both the addicts and criminals who populate it, as well as the unending black rain that pours down on them during frequent storms… with horrifying results.
Albrecht Entrati is already here, having enlisted the help of a new, noir-inspired Warframe named Brysko to help him infiltrate the Sentient underworld and reach the Hunra. This fearsome kingpin maintains control of Fornax's many rackets through violence, intimidation and fear, and it will be up to you to reach him in time to avert the breakout of a cataclysmic new conflict.
With the return of old friends, old foes and old wounds gone-but-not-forgotten, Tau will confront you with horrifying consequences from your past, and an incredibly bright new canvas for the evolving future of Warframe.
