Developer Digital Extremes has announced a major update for its online game Warframe, introducing a new Tau system. The update is scheduled for release by the end of 2026.

Digital Extremes, the developer behind the popular online action game Warframe, has announced a significant update that will introduce a new Tau system to the game. This expansion is slated for release by the end of 2026.
The upcoming update will feature the new Tau system, drawing inspiration from titles such as Blade Runner and Boardwalk Empire. Initially, this new area will include two distinct regions and new quests. Players will also have the option to engage with a higher difficulty mode.
