Open World Landscapes Coming in Plains of Eidolon Expansion

During today's TennoCon, the annual fan celebration of Warframe, Digital Extremes introduced players to a whole new way to experience the game. A new expansion, Plains of Eidolon, is coming and it will feature a new element called "Landscapes". Landscapes will give players open zones to explore "on their own terms". Outdoor locations, towns, inhabitants with new quests are all featured components of landscapes.

Cetus is home to scavengers called Ostrons and whose inhabitants will send players off on new RPG quests to collect new Warframe, weapons and to take on story elements using mechanical wings called Archwing. According to information released, Archwing will allow players to both fly and fight while using them.

Nightfall will also provide new challenges as the Spectral Sentients emerge to bring a new layer of danger to the inhabitants of the region.

Plains of the Eidolon offers a sense of discovery, variety, and mystery that mixes several different environments and tones to create a deep sense of place. You will experience a bristling new world in which you’ll feel the wind rustling across your syandana and the age and size of giant Sentient structures ominously looming in the background, you’ll see and hear wildlife flying above and scurrying for food, and you’ll experience a diurnal/nocturnal system with rising and setting sun, a weather system, and more. The world will be more alive than ever before.
