Warframe Expands Into the Past With The Old Peace Update
Warframe's newest update introduces the cinematic Old Peace Quest, the 63rd Warframe Uriel, and two distinct game modes: The Descendia and The Perita Rebellion. Players can also explore expanded Focus schools, visual updates for Operators and Drifters, and new romanceable Protoframes.
Warframe's most ambitious update yet bridges the gap between modern gameplay and the lore of the ancient Old War. Available now across all platforms, The Old Peace brings new story chapters, fresh gear, and structural additions that lay the groundwork for future updates throughout 2026.
New Quests and Characters
Using Albrecht Entrati's Dark Refractory, players can access The Old Peace Quest to uncover memories of the Old War. Progress requires completing main story milestones up to The Lotus Eaters. Joining the roster is Uriel, the Heretic of Xata, a frame equipped with fire-based abilities and three unique demons: Catenach, Gulphagor, and Vythelas. Additionally, three new NPC figures—Marie Leroux, Lyon Allard, and Roathe Grand Carnus—arrive in La Cathédrale to serve as vendors and romanceable characters.
Fresh Game Modes and Systems
Two new modes join the rotation. The Descendia challenges players to descend through 21 hellish floors of escalating difficulty with weekly modifiers. The Perita Rebellion offers a time-limited 12-minute run on the Tau moon of Perita to complete objectives and earn Tektolyst Artifacts. Beyond these modes, the Focus School system expands with Tauron Strikes, while Operators and Drifters receive visual remasters alongside updated facial and hair customization options.
Armaments and Collections
A suite of new weapons arrives with the patch, highlighted by the Vinquibus, a hybrid bayonet that occupies both primary and melee slots. Players can also acquire the Galariak Prime scythe and the Sagek Prime pistol. Several themed cosmetic bundles, including the Voruna Medeina Collection and multiple Drifter and Operator salon packs, are now available.
Upcoming Events
Operation: Blood of Perita runs from December 16 to January 6, allowing players to exchange Marks of Valiance with Roathe for custom armor and items. Following shortly after, the Prime Vanguard event runs from December 18 to January 15, letting players trade Aya with Varzia Dax for relics tied to six Prime Warframes.
Why this patch matters
The Old Peace delivers a massive volume of content, blending lore-heavy cinematic quests with practical endgame grinds like The Descendia and Perita Rebellion. It establishes a strong gameplay loop for the holidays while setting up future narrative beats.
