Thousands of Tenno eagerly awaited Digital Extremes’ staff to take the stage of the Dragonfly Theater at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center online and IRL. After a few weeks of teasing with vague images, cryptic comments, and even placeholder red herrings hidden with the the game files, players eagerly awaited the culmination of years waiting for promised content such as the Kela De Thaym rework, Star Chart 3.0, Nef Anyo rework, and a variety of other improvements to the game such as Adjustable UI, Fusion Rework, and replayable quests.



DE opened the event in grand fashion. Their spirits were high on the energy of the crowd gathered before them. Prior to the event, DE’s Steve and Rebecca had a Twitter jaunt of sorts over teasing some new content. The “battle” was continued immediately following the staff introductions on the stage.

Steve: “Rebecca is so mad at me now.” Rebecca: “No, mad doesn’t even begin to describe what I am with you right now. I’m furious! You said I could show that one!”

The panel got back on track as the other developers stepped in to share some more news regarding the next major patch. Some details were shared in regards to the upcoming player-owned Kavat system, the upcoming Kela De Thaym rework, as well as an update on the initial concepts shared in regards to the Fusion Rework. Concrete information was not available at the time, but the developers eagerly shared their concepts with an equally eager crowd. The crowd roared with excitement when the full reveal of the teaser image for Vauban Prime was displayed on the main screen.

The panel was a series of back-to-back teasers for upcoming content. Eager Tenno clutched on to the edge of their seats as the Dragonfly Theater grew to a thunderous roar. Our field reporters in attendance spoke to a few attendants after the panel had ended.

“It’s always so exciting to hear what DE is working on.” said Garyt Joves, 20, still high on energy after the panel. “We knew what her new model looked like over a year ago but now we know what weapon she uses!”

“When they showed the Kavat idling animation I died.” commented Quinn Stephens, 23. “I literally died. Did you see it? O-M-G it was so cute. I can’t wait to have one. I’m literally dying to get one.”

“I just couldn’t believe they said they were thinking about changing the way Vauban parts are acquired.” said Barry Dylan, 36. “Just the idea that it might end up being a Clan Research item is crazy. It’s crazy, right?”

A recap of some of the teaser images shared by DE can be viewed in the gallery below:

With a constant stream of new plans, revised plans, and with a dash of abandoning plans, there’s always something exciting to expect in the future of Warframe. New features and updates might not arrive tomorrow, next week, or even next year, but they’re always on the way. With a rigorous schedule and commitment to releasing high quality the Tenno have all the reason to stay on the hype train. At press time, none of the revealed upcoming content was confirmed to have a release date and was still in a “concept” stage.
