At its tenth TennoCon fan conference on Saturday, Digital Extremes revealed its plans for the next era of Warframe. Following a major update that'll close out 2025, Warframe will finally chart a course for a destination that's been teased for years: In 2026, the Tenno are headed to Tau.
The Tau system is, to put it lightly, a pretty big deal for Warframe. It's where many of the core conflicts of Warframe's storytelling were first set in motion: A far-off star where, thousands of years before in-game events take place, the synthetic race of Sentients rejected their lot as terraforming serfs for the Orokin empire and returned to the Sol system in violent rebellion.
