What announcements to expect at TennoCon 2026?
At TennoCon 2026, expect Digital Extremes to reveal and provide an in-depth look at the cinematic quest in Warframe, which will most likely launch in December. At last year’s showcase, the team revealed Warframe: The Old Cinematic, the next big story update, which arrived on December 10, 2025.
Likewise, at TennoCon 2024, we got our first in-depth look at Warframe 1999, the cinematic quest kicked off a new era for Warframe and changed the trajectory of its overarching narrative.
In addition to Warframe, expect more updates on Soulframe, the fantasy counterpart of Warframe. Soulframe is currently in the pre-alpha stage, and we might get an update on its launch or early access launch. At the very least, expect more of what’s coming to Soulframe Preludes this year.
