Warframe Unveils New Expansion ‘Angels Of The Zariman’, Coming In April

Digital Extremes gave Warframe players and fans their first look at the space ninja MMO’s next expansion during yesterday’s dev stream. The expansion, called Angels of the Zariman, is scheduled for release in April and will take players aboard the Zariman ship which was previously featured in the New War Quest.

The expansion will also introduce a new questline and new side objectives along with new Zariman NPCs, a new Zariman Syndicate, and a new social hub called the Chrysalith. The Chrysalith will be the first ever social hub that will allow players to seamlessly access procedural-generated missions without loading screens. New player apartments will also be available on board the ship which they’ll be able to decorate however they wish.

Another key feature of the Angels of the Zariman expansion is the addition of three new mission types: Void Flood, Void Cascade, and Void Armageddon. The team gave players an early glimpse of Void Flood gameplay during the stream. Here’s how it works:

“This is a parkour-focused endless mission where players need to collect Void Orbs to gain Void Energy. This energy will be used to repair Void Fractures that appear in-mission. The longer that these Void Fractures are left open, the more debuffs you open yourself to. You can grab these Orbs from fallen enemies, or in clusters that spawn for those parkour-inclined. Sealing three fractures completes the wave and spawns a miniboss for you to defeat, after which the cycle continues in true endless mission fashion!”

Digital Extremes also offered a preview of an electrifying new Warframe named Gyre. “She will come with electricity-themed abilities -- but will be very different from our current lightning lord Volt,” they teased. The team promises to reveal more information about the new ‘Frame in the coming weeks.
