Yet most of this world remains untamed. Vast wildlands and uninhabited territories stretching toward the horizon still await exploration. Every step forward is shadowed by threats — whether remnants of the past or dangers never before seen.

Expansion and exploration, as well as continuity and progression, are the eternal themes throughout the evolution of civilization, and the ultimate pursuit of every life that constitutes it.

As the Endministrator of Endfield Industries, you will lead your operators to defend and expand the frontiers of humanity. Your Originium engines rumble in the wildlands while production machinery works around the clock to deploy new AIC Factory production lines. Explore the world of Talos-II and gather various resources. Use the AIC Factory to overcome dangers and work with the operators to build a better homeland for humanity.

A new era of change has dawned upon this ancient world. Time to make your choice, Endministrator.

Warframe Switch 2 launch date

Digital Extremes has announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Warframe will launch on March 25 alongside the new “The Shadowgrapher” update. The new update calls players to to the ruins of the Vesper Relay and discover “the stained story of a lost Archimedean.” In addition, the update introduces the new Follie Warframe, the “Follie’s Hunt” 4v1 co-op game mode, quality of life improvements, and the ability to replay The Old Peace quest. 

Follie’s Hunt is Warframe’s take on the 4v1 asymmetric multiplayer survival horror match type, which was popularized by Dead by Daylight and Identity V. Four players are up against Follie, who stalks players with inky abilities. Players must complete unfinished paintings across the ruins of Vesper Relay by seeking out pools of colored ink and transferring it to the canvases. 

In combat, players can use Follie to disappear into an inky canvas and reappear, inflicting the Inkblot debuff on nearby enemies. Players can customize an entire book of drawings in the Sketchbook before battle and bring one to life mid-mission for a tactical advantage, and Follie is also able to summon a self-portrait ink doppelganger that redirect damage from the player to itself and applies Inkblot onto nearby enemies.

Releasing alongside the new update, the Switch 2 version of Warframe features mouse controls for menu navigation and combat. The game will run at a locked 60 FPS at 1080p across handheld and docked modes with improved load times, textures, and shader quality. To celebrate the release on Switch 2, all players who log in to Warframe on the console from March 25 to April 15 will earn  the exclusive Ambimanus Pack, featuring the Vericres Warfan weapon, the Akomeogi Warfan weapon skin, Slicing Feathers Stance Mod, Affinity/Credit boosters, and more.

Additional announcements include a glimpse into a new cosmetic for Mods, various revamped Clan features, and upcoming in-game events. More details can be found in Warframe’s latest VOD. Moreover, TennoCon, the annual celebration of all things Warframe and Soulframe, will return to Digital Extremes’ hometown of London, Ontario on July 10-11. TennoCon 2026 tickets are available now on Eventbrite.

Warframe is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
