Warframe The Old Peace revisits the Old War

Digital Extremes released Warframe: The Old Peace on December 10, 2025. Update 41 sends the Operator or Drifter into memories connected to the Old War and the fragile peace between the Orokin and Sentients.

Warframe The Old Peace: what changed

The release added a cinematic quest, the demonic Warframe Uriel, the Devil’s Triad Protoframes and a bayonet weapon class. Descendia provides a twenty-one-floor escalating challenge, while The Perita Rebellion revisits large battles through the Dark Refractory. Tauron Strikes expanded the Focus system, and the Operator and Drifter received a visual remaster.

How it affects the game

Warframe has described the Old War for years through ruins, fragments and testimony. The Old Peace changes the perspective by making those memories playable and by introducing Sentient characters as people within the conflict. Its repeatable modes then translate the historical setting into build testing and progression after the quest ends.

What players should know

The update requires players to reach the necessary point in Warframe’s main questline before starting its cinematic story. The Old Peace also sets up later travel beyond the Origin System, but it is not itself the complete future Tau expansion. Hotfixes following update 41 corrected mission, Uriel and Descendia issues.
