At TennoCon 2026 \u2014 Digital Extremes&#8217; annual fan celebration \u2014 the studio pulled the curtain on <strong>Warframe: Tau<\/strong>, the game&#8217;s next major Narrative Chapter, alongside a raft of Soulframe news that gave Digital Extremes&#8217; other free-to-play RPG its biggest reveal yet.

The launch content centres on <strong>Fornax<\/strong>, a colossal Sentient ring city that doubles as one of the most distinct environments in Warframe&#8217;s history: a lawless metropolis drenched in constant black rain, where an addictive substance called Bloom keeps the population docile and a criminal underworld rules the docks, casinos and slums. Think cyberpunk noir, but built from alien biomechanical architecture.<\/p>\n<p>The faction controlling Fornax is headed by <strong>the Hunra<\/strong>, voiced by Jonathan Bullock, a crime boss who becomes the central antagonist of the Tau chapter&#8217;s opening arc. Digital Extremes has confirmed a second, as-yet-undisclosed location will launch alongside Fornax. The entire Tau chapter arrives as a <strong>free update for all platforms<\/strong> later in 2026 \u2014 community director Megan Everett described it as &#8220;one of the biggest updates we&#8217;ve ever done,&#8221; while being careful to note it is not a sequel.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/warframe-tau-fornax-gameplay-tennocon-2026.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Warframe players in the atmospheric corridors of Fornax, the Sentient ring city in Tau\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Digital Extremes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Meet Brysko: The Noir Warframe Voiced by Matthew Mercer<\/h2>\n<p>Headlining the Tau chapter is <strong>Brysko<\/strong>, a new &#8220;Chimera frame&#8221; \u2014 a Sentient-hybrid Warframe rebuilt by the series veteran Albrecht Entrati. Brysko is voiced by <strong>Matthew Mercer<\/strong> (Critical Role, Resident Evil Village, Overwatch), making him a rare non-Protoframe Warframe to receive a named voice actor. His role is equal parts detective and enforcer: his inner monologue narrates his cynical world-view as he infiltrates Fornax&#8217;s criminal underworld on Entrati&#8217;s behalf.<\/p>\n<p>His arsenal leans into the noir aesthetic. His Exalted Pistol, the <strong>Corecracker<\/strong>, is a heavy revolver magnum, while his Exalted Melee \u2014 <strong>Rain &amp; Shine<\/strong> \u2014 are a pair of brutal brass-knuckle fist weapons. He can also deal damage with explosive playing cards, which ties into Tau&#8217;s new mini-game, <strong>Portau<\/strong> \u2014 Warframe&#8217;s first card-based game, playable inside Fornax&#8217;s casinos.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/warframe-tau-gameplay-demo-brysko-tennocon-2026.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Brysko holds playing cards across from an alien enemy at a casino table in the Portau card mini-game\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Digital Extremes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Fall 2026 First: Iceblade of Narin Before Tau Arrives<\/h2>\n<p>Tau will not be the first major update to land before the year is out. Digital Extremes confirmed <strong>Iceblade of Narin<\/strong> \u2014 the studio&#8217;s traditional autumn release \u2014 is also in the pipeline for 2026. It introduces the game&#8217;s 66th Warframe, an ice-themed frame, alongside the long-awaited <strong>Banshee Deluxe Collection and rework<\/strong> (Banshee&#8217;s first Deluxe since 2016) and <strong>Citrine Prime Access<\/strong>.

The studio revealed <strong>Warsongs<\/strong>, the next major Fable quest for Soulframe Preludes, described by the dev team as the darkest content yet. The new Fable introduces <strong>Tempest Bayor<\/strong>, a rare red-armed Envoy aligned with the invading Ode forces, voiced by <strong>Ben Starr<\/strong> \u2014 familiar to Singapore fans from his recent breakout performance in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Alongside Bayor is his faithful raven companion and the soaring Citadel as a new hub location.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/soulframe-warsongs-wolf-mounts-tennocon-2026.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Four Soulframe players riding giant wolf mounts through a forest stream in the Warsongs reveal\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Digital Extremes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The headline feature for many existing Preludes players is the confirmation that <strong>wolf mounts<\/strong> are finally coming to Soulframe this fall.

The update also adds a <strong>fishing mini-game<\/strong> woven into the narrative, and a new corrupted progression path called the <strong>Vadagar Pact<\/strong>, which unlocks dark Virtues \u2014 Wrath, Doom and Death \u2014 for Envoys willing to embrace corruption.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WiGRu3SQ-ZY\" title=\"Soulframe | TennoCon 2026 Official Warsongs Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Soulframe | TennoCon 2026 Official Warsongs Trailer \u2014 via Soulframe on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Singapore Players: How to Get In Right Now<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Warframe<\/strong> is free-to-play with no region restrictions \u2014 download it now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, or Nintendo Switch 2.
