Warframe's Getting a Devilish Update with Romanceable Protoframes? Bloody Hell, Count Me In!
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Warframe is getting a new update called 'The Devil's Triade' with romanceable protoframes, because why not? It's a bonkers but brilliant move from Digital Extremes that keeps the game fresh and engaging.
Right, Tenno, listen up! Digital Extremes just dropped a bombshell at TennoCon 2025: Warframe's getting a new update called 'The Devil's Triade' this fall, and it sounds wilder than a Grineer rave. (Original source: Eurogamer)
So, what's the fuss? Well, it's a side story that's being released alongside the next major update, 'The Old Peace.' 'The Devil's Triade' introduces Uriel, a devil-themed Warframe designed by the late, great Michael “Mynki” James Brennan (legend!), along with a new quest. But the real kicker? Two new *protoframes* are joining the roster: Harrow and Wisp. And yes, you can romance them. I repeat: *Romanceable. Protoframes.* It's like Digital Extremes is actively trying to break the internet. I reckon they've managed it!
Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Protoframes? Aren't those... old?' And you'd be right. They're basically the original designs for Warframes, kinda like seeing your grandparents' awkward teenage photos. But the fact that we're getting *new* ones, even as Warframe dips its toes into the 'Warframe 1999' setting, suggests Digital Extremes isn't running out of ideas any time soon. They have so many more designs ready to be released to the public!
Community manager Megan Everett confirmed in a pre-TennoCon Q&A that romancing these Protoframes in 'The Devil's Triade' won't mess with your existing relationships in 'Warframe 1999.' Why? Because 'Warframe 1999' is the Drifter's story, while this update focuses on the Operator. It's all about perspective, mate. It's all about keeping the lore clean!
Uriel, by the way, sounds particularly interesting. Soulframe's creative director, Geoff Crookes, revealed that this was Mynki's last design before he passed away last year. A fitting tribute to a true legend of the gaming industry.
Honestly, this TennoCon has been bonkers. We had a new Soulframe trailer, they've opened up Soulframe sign-ups to basically anyone who wants in, and now this. Digital Extremes are clearly not resting on their laurels. It’s as if they're deliberately trying to keep us on our toes. I'm not complaining, mind you. This is the kind of chaos I live for!
So, there you have it. Romanceable protoframes, a devil-themed Warframe, and a whole lot of questions about what Digital Extremes is planning next. One thing’s for sure: the future of Warframe looks gloriously, wonderfully weird. And that, my friends, is exactly why we love it. This could be something special. The Devil's Triade, it looks like it could change the game forever! But what does this mean? We'll find out later this year! Keep your eyes peeled!
