Warframe’s Jade Shadows Update Adds New Warframe And Cinematic Quest In June

Today, Warframe’s devstream revealed details on Jade Shadows, the game’s next cinematic update. Jade Shadows adds the 57th Warframe, Jade–known as the “song of devastation”–as well as the Ascension mission type, a new Clan Operation, quality-of-life changes, and more.

The Jade Shadows quest involves the return of the Stalker and will have players confront him again with all-new lore, details, and additional secrets to unveil. Jade is an angelic Warframe who thematically opposes the Stalker’s corruption, despair, and brutality, with her love, hope, and wonder instilled with her signature weapons. She is also the first Warframe in a long time to have three signature weapons. “Mechanically she is more support and debuffing. Assisting your allies and debuffing the enemies,” said Digital Extremes during the devstream.

Jade Shadows launches the new mission type Ascension, more TennoGen items, and a new Clan Operation: Belly of the Beast. Further details of Ascension and Belly of the Beast will be revealed closer to the update.

Quality-of-life changes such as new Warframe Augments and Arcanes, brand-new Duviri decrees, increased drop rates for Debt Bonds, and Whispers in the Walls replayability all debut in the Jade Shadows update.

The Jade Shadows update releases this June. Be sure to check out our interview with creative director Rebecca Ford on another upcoming Warframe story update later this year with Warframe 1999 and our Warframe tips for beginners, so you can start your journey as a Tenno.
