Today marks a major moment for Overframe.gg, as we launch our brand-new content beat, doubling down on Warframe coverage with fresh build spotlights, quick-hit guides, community insights, and sharp opinions. This all comes hot on the heels of Warframe's penultimate update of the year, Update 41, The Old Peace, which has officially launched across all platforms, closing out 2025 with an ambitious narrative and a robust shift in how focus schools work. Whether you’re just starting out with Warframe or you’re a veteran player and The Old Peace has pulled you back into the Origin System, we’ll be here every step of the way, so buckle up for a list of what you can expect from The Old Peace.
At the heart of this monumental update is a brand new cinematic quest titled The Old Peace, taking players to Tau through long-buried memories of the Old War under the lens of the Operator. The new quest unlocks the Dark Refractory, a new navigation hub that grants access to two new endgame modes: Descendia and The Perita Rebellion.
For the first time, players can jump straight into this content using an experimental Mission Preview feature, allowing newer and returning Tenno to experience the new modes even if they are not fully caught up on the main questline. This will be the first time that brand new content from a mainline quest will be available for fresh players, outside of the Duviri Paradox, which lives parallel to mainline quests.
The headline Warframe addition is Uriel, the Heretic of Xata, Warframe’s 63rd playable frame. Uriel is built around commanding and sacrificing demonic summons to fuel hellfire damage loops. His kit blends sustained heat AOE pressure with burst windows through abilities like Infernalis, Demonium, and his ultimate, Brimstone. If you’d like to earn him rather than buy him through the Market, completing The Old Peace quest awards Uriel’s main blueprint, with components dropping from Descendia and vendor sources tied to the new Devil’s Triad characters.
Uriel arrives alongside one of the most unique weapon additions the game has seen in years: the Vinquibus Bayonet. This is not only a new weapon, but the addition of a new weapon type that occupies both the Primary and Melee slots at once, sharing Forma, Catalysts, rank progression, and visuals while still using separate mods and arcanes for each function. Headshots buff melee damage, while melee kills feed rifle ammo efficiency, creating a constant flow between gunplay and close combat. It also introduces its own stance mod, Harrowing Spire, found within Descendia.
The Devil’s Triad themselves are central to The Old Peace update. Marie Leroux, Lyon Allard, and Roathe serve as new protoframe characters housed within the Sanctum Anatomica’s La Cathédrale location. Beyond their narrative roles and Kinematic Messaging System interactions, they act as vendors similar to the Hex, carrying the new Focus School items such as, blueprints, arcanes, decorations, and Honoria titles. The new KIM expansion also allows players to build chemistry, unlock romances, and even be privy to a few cinematics.
On the gameplay side, The Old Peace delivers two brand new major endgame loops. Descendia is a weekly, floor-based gauntlet that drops players into Roathe’s fractured memoryscape with escalating modifiers, blessings, and rewards. Each run features rotating Penances, randomized challenge conditions, and a layered reward structure that includes new arcanes, Uriel and Vinquibus blueprints, Steel Path-exclusive drops, and more. The Perita Rebellion shifts the experience into an exciting timed battlefield rampage on Tau, featuring large-scale engagements, new Anarch enemy factions, and a dramatic 12-minute push-style mission that culminates in boss encounters tied to the new Focus School progression.
Focus Schools are front and center with the new Focus system that introduces Tauron Strikes and Tektolyst Artifacts. Each Focus School now has a unique summoned weapon that unleashes powerful activation effects and persistent buffs. These artifacts feature their own mod and arcane equipment layers, feeding directly into both endgame builds and Operator gameplay. It is one of the most sweeping overhauls the Focus system has seen since its original introduction.
Beyond combat and systems, Operators and Drifters receive a full visual remaster with new face models, hair systems, lighting, makeup, complexions, and customization UI upgrades. It is a generational leap forward in character presentation that longtime players will notice immediately on login.
Rounding out the release are nine new arcanes spanning Warframes and weapons, new Orokin-era Grineer Prime weapons, Gyre Prime Access, expanded Entrati Syndicate progression, dozens of quality-of-life improvements, visual upgrades, performance optimizations, and hundreds of fixes.
The Old Peace is not just another update. It is a foundation-setting chapter that reshapes narrative direction, endgame structure, and player progression heading into Warframe’s next era. And as the smoke clears from Tau, Overframe.gg will be tracking every meta shift, every standout build, and every strategy that emerges from it.
