Digital Extremes captivated millions of fans at its 10th annual TennoCon, revealing a massive roadmap for Warframe. The free-to-play action RPG is charging full steam ahead with a new narrative chapter, an exciting side story, and a tease of its 2026 expansion.
Warframe’s “The Old Peace” is the next major narrative chapter that takes players back to a tense era of peace between the Sentients and Orokin. This update unveils a new narrative update that delves into the forgotten history of Tau, a Sentient childhood friend named Adis, and the war-scarring conflict between the Orokin, their creations, and the Dax Anarch Warriors on the Perita moon.

The Old Peace Key Features
- Main Quest, The Old Peace: Think far back and remember the long-forgotten tale of Tau, a childhood Sentient friend named Adis, as well as the war-scarring conflict between the Orokin, their creations, and a coalition of Dax Anarch Warriors upon the Perita moon.
- Side Story, The Devil’s Triad: Welcome a new trio of characters – Father Lyon Allard (Protoframe of Harrow), Marie Leroux (Protoframe of Wisp), and Uriel (the new devil-themed Warframe) – in cinematic style within a Side Story, arriving alongside The Old Peace.
- New Enemy Faction: Walk a fragile line during a tumultuous moment of harmony and discover who is friend and foe. What starts as a rebellion of Dax Anarchs could cause alliances to cascade and put into question how deep this Old Peace really went.
- Operator Remaster: Gaze upon the Operator’s graphically remastered character models and cosmetic assets to improve their visual fidelity, including new facial animations, and aligning with Warframe’s latest assets. TennoCon attendees caught the first glimpse of this remaster in the Old Peace gameplay reveal.
- Tauron Focus Expansion: Study up for the upcoming Focus expansion, introducing a new ultimate ability for the Operator. More details to come around this feature expansion in future Devstreams.
- Original Song Released Today: Remember the sorrow of our forgotten Sentient childhood friend, Adis, with his heartfelt song, ‘Lullaby of the Manifold,’ now on YouTube. This somber, hauntingly beautiful track was first heard in The Old Peace gameplay reveal and will be available on most major music streaming platforms on July 21.
Still, the TennoCon live presentation didn’t stop with “The Old Peace.” To close out the show, the Warframe team introduced the audience to the next big step for the game: TAU. “The Old Peace” sets the stage for the monumental Tau Narrative Chapter, arriving in 2026, propelling Warframe’s “Void War” story arc forward.
“Ten years of TennoCon is such a mind-boggling thing to say out loud,” said Rebecca Ford, Creative Director of Warframe in a release to press. “When we first started this celebration event back in 2016, we had no idea it would grow to what it is today. Our community is everything to us; we wouldn’t be here without them.”
She continued, “To be able to continue TennoCon and bring together more players in person from around the world and treat them to the latest announcements, hijinks, and simply celebrate the world of Warframe is a privilege we don’t take for granted. The 10th TennoCon has been a deeply special, unforgettable journey. We want to thank our community to Tau and back for joining us on this monumental milestone. See you all next year!”
