Summary
The Old Peace & New Game Modes
Warframe's final update of 2025, Update 41, centers on 'The Old Peace' cinematic quest, taking players to the battlefields of Tau. Completion unlocks the Dark Refractory, a navigation hub for two new game modes: The Perita Rebellion (Operator-focused combat) and Descendia (a 21-floor weekly challenge tower for the Drifter). A new 'Mission Preview' feature allows players to try these modes before finishing the quest, provided they meet Mastery Rank 10 for matchmaking.
Uriel & Focus Expansion
Uriel, the Heretic of Xata, joins the roster as the 63rd Warframe. The Focus system receives a significant overhaul with Tauron Strikes, powerful abilities unlocked via Tektolyst Artifact weapons. Players can also master the new Vinquibus Bayonet weapon type, which functions as both a Primary and Melee weapon.
Remasters & Social Systems
Operators and Drifters have received a complete visual remaster for improved realism. Players can now visit La Cathédrale in the Sanctum Anatomica to interact with 'The Devil’s Triad' (Marie Leroux, Lyon Allard, and Roathe), featuring the KIM romance system and new specialized vendors for Arcanes and decorations.
