Warframe’s Next Expansion Takes Players to the Mysterious Tau System

Get Ready for Warframe’s Next Epic Adventure: The Old Peace

Digital Extremes has officially pulled back the curtain on Warframe’s next major chapter, and it’s a cosmic leap forward. Revealed at this year’s TennoCon, the upcoming expansion titled The Old Peace promises to take players far beyond familiar territory and into the long-teased Tau system, a location deeply rooted in Warframe’s lore.

Tau isn’t just another star syste, it’s legendary among fans. Long considered the ultimate destination in Warframe’s sprawling sci-fi saga, a failed mission to Tau serves as the narrative bedrock of the game’s universe. Now, players will finally get the chance to explore it firsthand. While Digital Extremes kept the timeline of events deliberately vague, the mystery only adds to the hype.

A Glimpse into the Past, or the Future?

The cinematic trailer shown at TennoCon offers tantalizing clues. It features the Operator, alongside iconic characters Loid and the Lotus, engaged in a cryptic memory experiment. One scene stands out: the Operator interacting with a young Sentient named Adis in what seems to be a peaceful childhood memory. But as expected in the Warframe universe, peace doesn’t last. A rebellion erupts on one of Tau’s moons, shattering the moment and setting the stage for deeper conflict.

New Content, New Ways to Play

If you’re new to Warframe or thinking of returning, now’s a great time to jump in. The Old Peace expansion is set to launch in late 2025, but before that, players can look forward to a new quest called “The Teacher,” arriving in the fall. Developed in collaboration with Sumo Digital, this mission is designed to help players master one of Warframe’s most essential and often misunderstood mechanics — modding.

Meet Uriel and the Devil’s Triad

Alongside the expansion, a brand-new Warframe named Uriel will make their debut. Players will also dive into a standalone quest focused on the “Devil’s Triad”, exploring the interconnected fates of Uriel and new Protoframes for Harrow and Wisp. While details remain under wraps, the storyline hints at dark alliances and powerful new abilities.

More to Come

If all of this sounds like just the beginning, that’s because it is. Digital Extremes has promised to share more insights and reveals during their October devstream, where fans can expect further details on Warframe’s evolving universe and the road to Tau.

Final Thoughts

Warframe’s storytelling has always been ambitious, and with The Old Peace, it’s pushing into truly interstellar territory. Whether you’re a long-time Tenno or a curious newcomer, the stars are aligning for something big.
