Press release:

LONDON, Ontario – March 2, 2026 – Digital Extremes blended two major announcements with careful brush strokes on Devstream 193: Warframe will be available for Nintendo Switch 2 (and all platforms) alongside its next major update, The Shadowgrapher, for free on Wednesday, March 25.

To celebrate the free sci-fi epic’s 13th anniversary next month, the dev team showcased its 64th Warframe, Follie, her abilities, and a look inside a new co-op game mode inspired by online multiplayer survival horror: Follie’s Hunt. Additional announcements stalking the stream include a look at a new cosmetic for Mods, revamped Clan features, upcoming in-game events, and the kick-off of TennoCon 2026 ticket sales.

“The Old Peace was the most successful update we’ve ever released, and we’ve had such a blast watching our community create some iconic moments together these past few months,” said Megan Everett, Community Director.

“That comes with a lot of feedback, which has always been our north star. The Shadowgrapher introduces some eerily excellent new content, but it’s also full of some essential overhauls to continue refining Warframe’s overall quality of life. Clans have a smorgasbord of new features, an early Quest had a graphical facelift, and we will officially be on the Nintendo Switch 2 soon! Thank you to all our players for sticking with us. We have a stellar year in store for you.”

Highlights from the February Devstream include:

Enter the next frontier of Warframe’s gaming platform availability as the iconic fast-paced co-op gameplay natively bullet jumps onto Nintendo Switch 2 on March 25:

Grip the right Switch Joy-Con 2 and use Mouse Mode to navigate menus with ease or aim down weapon sights for precise marksmanship across Warframe’s diverse arsenal of ranged weaponry.

Dive into an optimized Warframe experience with 60FPS and 1080p resolution in both handheld and docked modes with improved load times, textures, and shader quality.

Log in to Warframe on a Nintendo Switch 2 console from March 25 to April 15 to earn the exclusive Ambimanus Pack, which includes the Vericres Warfan weapon, the Akomeogi Warfan weapon skin, Slicing Feathers Stance Mod, among other cosmetics, and Affinity/Credit boosters.

Survive against a slow and sinister incarnation of the latest Warframe in a new game mode, Follie’s Hunt:

Band together in a squad of four and avoid the inky grasp of Follie in Warframe’s interpretation of the 4v1 asymmetric multiplayer survival horror match type. This iteration pits four players against Follie, who stalks players and reacts to the allied team’s actions.

Complete the unfinished paintings scattered around the ruins of the Vesper Relay by seeking out pools of colored ink, coating players in the liquid abyss, and transferring it to scattered canvases.

Adapt to each iteration of the Hunt, with every run offering a varied experience due to modifiers that randomize mission hazards and enemy effects.

Remain vigilant and level-headed as the enemy Follie gains shorter ability cooldowns, becoming more aggressive with the completion of each canvas.

Channel the might of the brush to spread darkness itself as the 64th Warframe, Follie:

Disappear into an inky canvas and reemerge from the selected location to become doused in ink and inflict the new Inkblot debuff on nearby enemies.

Customize an entire book of drawings in the Sketchbook before battle and bring one to life mid-mission for a tactical advantage.

Summon a self-portrait ink doppelganger that will redirect damage from the player onto itself and apply the Inkblot debuff on nearby enemies.

Spread whimsy by force and attach inky balloons to all enemies within range, lifting them into the air with the Inkblot debuff and primed for target practice.

Continue to explore Warframe’s countless customization options with the latest additions, including the Atragraphs, the next wave of TennoGen cosmetics, and more:

Collect a new cosmetic for Mods, Atragraphs, that exhibit alternate art and an animated frame, in the same vein as a traditional foil trading card. The Shadowgrapher will introduce 10 different Atragraphs to earn, with more on the way in future updates.

Experiment with new styles using the latest wave of TennoGen, Digital Extremes’ player cosmetic design program, with five total new additions comprised of Warframe skins, Signa headpieces, and a weapon skin.

Ramp up the aesthetic chemistry between the dynamic duo of Gauss, the Saint of Altra, and Grendel, the insatiable devourer, with the latest deluxe cosmetic skins and new emotes.

Join one of the most welcoming communities in gaming during the latest limited-time community Operation event and take advantage of our newest Clan features:

Take up arms alongside fellow players in Operation: Atramentum, a limited-time event (April 2 – April 23) offering opportunities to earn new cosmetic rewards as well as previous rewards from past Operations.

Deepen the bonds between Clan members with several new social features, including Clan and Friend List specific UI mission markers, resource bonus rewards after missions with Clanmates, Clan-only matchmaking, weekly Clan missions, Clan merging, and Clan-specific cosmetics like a group emote and Clan Glyph.
