Warframe's "Jade Shadows" Update: Illuminating the Darkness
Warframe's next cinematic update, "Jade Shadows," is set to lift the veil of mystery surrounding a beloved character in a brand new single-player quest on June 18, available for free across all current platforms. In the latest Devstream, Digital Extremes delved deep into this highly anticipated update, revealing exciting details about the 57th Warframe, Jade, a new mission type, a clan operation, and much more.
“This marks our last Devstream until TennoCon, so we tried to pack it with as many goodies as we could to chew on until then," said Megan Everett, Community Director. "The team has been looking forward to finally telling the Stalker’s story. We’ve also never made a Warframe like Jade before, we’re all stoked! So stay hungry Tenno, we are cooking some really tasty treats for everyone with Jade Shadows and beyond. Sometimes it's a detour from the main story, sometimes it's all connected, we intend to keep everyone on their toes for the rest of the year."
Shedding Light on the Stalker
"Jade Shadows" will explore the enigmatic story of the Stalker, one of Warframe’s most cryptic characters, in a compelling new narrative quest. Players will gain new insights and knowledge, eventually embodying the 57th Warframe, Jade. Inspired by angelic choirs, Jade acts as a support-type character, singing buffing solos that offer extra damage, shield regeneration, enemy slowdowns, and healing light. Her ultimate ability allows her to take to the skies, delivering divine intervention to her foes.
New Mission: Ascension
The Devstream also showcased footage of the new vertical mission type, Ascension. Players must escape the bottom layer of an enemy base by hijacking a colossal elevator, fighting off waves of enemies, and stealing power cells to keep the lift rising. Acting as an epilogue to the quest, the new Clan Operation: Belly of the Beast sends players back into the enemy base’s depths. Gather your clanmates to accomplish objectives and thwart the Corpus faction’s latest experiments, unlocking stylish new energy aura Ephemeras once community goals are met.
