Operation: Orphix Venom, and earn the new ‘Lavos’ Warframe, on PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Nintendo™ Switch today.
In this first-of-its-kind survival event, Tenno will stomp into 1-4 player action, accessing
mechs for free, while battling against Sentient forces with only Mechs and Operators. Tenno will earn the 45th Warframe by playing
Operation: Orphix Venom, harnessing Lavos’ experimental power to transmute the physical realm and combine Elements with Abilities to thwart the hordes.
Two extra rewards should make joining the event even easier. When players ‘gift’ Lavos to a friend, they will receive a free Lavos Orbiter decoration for their efforts. For players who join in the first three weeks, they’ll earn double Affinity!
Warframe dev will remain “creatively independent” following Tencent buyout
Earlier this month, Tencent revealed that it’s purchasing Leyou Technologies, which you may recognise as the parent company of Warframe developer Digital Extremes among other studios such as Splash Damage, King Maker, and Radiance. Now, in a message to players, Digital Extremes has moved to assure fans that the developer’s creative independence will remain intact despite the change of parent company.
“We will continue to create great content for Warframe, and we will remain creatively independent,” the studio says. “Our focus will remain on listening to you, our community, upgrading Warframe based on your feedback, and developing the kind of great stories, gameplay, and incredible new space ninja action you’ve come to expect from us. Tencent is well known for respecting the creative decisions and integrity of its studios, and for giving them the autonomy and independence to experiment, innova
Warframe’s next Operation swaps warframes for chonky mech battles
Warframe, Digital Extremes’ free-to-play action-RPG game, is in for a brand-new Operation soon. Called Orphix Venom, the upcoming limited-time op will put a bit of a different twist on Warframe’s previous offerings, dropping the, er, warframes in favour of a full-on battle between the shooter’s chonky mechs.
As announced by Digital Extremes as part of a big dev update livestream, Operation Orphix Venom is “coming soon to PC”, and is essentially an all-mech co-op event you can tackle either solo or in teams of two to four players. The eponymous Orphix are essentially sentient AI baddies that can disable your Tenno’s warframes’ power, making them useless. That means you’re left to battle them by buckling into the hefty, undead, armoured war machines, Necramechs.
