Warframe Sets Course for Tau: The TennoCon 2026 Trailer
New solar system, old problems
Warframe intends to push further than ever before: at TennoCon 2026, developer Digital Extremes revealed that for the first time, the game's setting will leave its origin system to head towards Tau. This planet, likely inspired by Tau Ceti (a rather popular location in the video game landscape), hosts Fornax, described as a sentient, ring-shaped metropolis.
Built by the Sentients, Fornax was once a true paradise, but is now reduced to decay, overpopulated by all kinds of degenerates and constantly bathed in a black rain that induces madness. Players will need to explore the underbelly of this metropolis with Brysko, a new Warframe inspired by the noir genre. Complicating matters will be an entire faction of henchmen and lackeys, in the employ of crime boss Hunra. The Warframe: Tau update will be released in 2026.
