Digital Extremes wrapped up Devshort 88 yesterday, detailing what's coming down the pipe next week in Warframe, and the big takeaway is that February is a major setup to get players ready for March’s Shadowgrapher update without leaving a Tenno lost in the shuffle.
First up: the next Warframe update lands February 11, bringing Vauban’s Heirloom collection and Lunar New Year-themed content. The team also teased a Dev Workshop scheduled for this week, meant to spell out the Vauban changes in plain text and highlight anything that shifted since Devstream 192. If you’re the type who prefers patch notes over vibes, that workshop is the one to watch.
The February 11 build also delivers a quality-of-life win the community has been poking at for a while: The Old Peace quest becomes replayable. That matters because, as a Warframe player, you may have smashed through the game at breakneck speed but now wish you could go back an experience the story again. DE has listened and that options is headed your way next week.
Devshort 88 also called out performance improvements aimed at some recent hotspots, with the team specifically pointing to 1999 Defense missions and the Entrati Labs. The focus here is practical: lighting, shadow costs, and effects that were charging players a performance tax even in places where the “sun doesn’t shine.”
On the mobile side, Digital Extremes confirmed the rollout plan for Android. Warframe launches on Android in Canada on February 11, followed by a global Android release on February 18. Cross-play and cross-save support are part of the plan, meaning this isn’t a “new account, new life” situation.
Finally, Devshort 88 reiterated the studio’s upcoming beat: the next Warframe Devstream is expected February 27, where Digital Extremes plans to dig into Shadowgrapher and introduce the game’s 64th Warframe.
And yes, the monetization note that slipped in at the end is still important: Platinum Packs refresh on February 17, removing long-time mods from packs, increasing Platinum amounts to compensate, adjusting regional pricing in a small number of regions, and pairing it with a Buy One, Get One Free coupon for eligible regions if you log in between February 17 and February 24. The coupon is for Platinum Packs only, not bundles, and is meant as a short, sharp “stock up” window before Shadowgrapher arrives.
