Warframe Devstream 194 Recap: Voruna Prime, Five Incarnons, and Two Deluxe Skins Confirmed at PAX East

Digital Extremes brought Warframe to PAX East's Main Theater in Boston today for a live Devstream 194, and if you missed it, the format alone was worth watching. Community Director Megan Everett and host Zack McCone were joined by voice actor Nick Apostolides (Velimir in Warframe: 1999) and Mega64's Rocco Botte, who competed through a series of improv games while real reveals were used as stakes and rewards at each stage.

It's the kind of format that could easily come off as filler. Instead, it was a genuinely entertaining way to dole out a packed slate of confirms for Warframe's next unannounced 2026 update.

The biggest news out of the stream is Voruna Prime, who launches April 8 on all platforms. Her Prime form is fully quadrupedal, a distinction that matters more than it might sound, since base Voruna only goes to all fours during abilities before reverting to bipedal. She brings the Perigale Prime rifle and Sarofang Prime axe with her, earnable through Void Relics or available immediately through Prime Access packs. The reveal trailer, shown live at PAX East, is set in Hollvania and comes with a gore warning from Everett before it rolled.

Five Incarnons are confirmed for the unannounced update, and the community had a hand in deciding one of them. Four came in as locked: the Obex, Ballistica, Stug, and Distaya Incarnons. The fifth slot was the prize in the competition between Apostolides and Botte, Vectis Incarnon for Team Dante Deluxe and Tigris Incarnon for Team Baruuk Deluxe. Nick's team won the overall audience vote, so the Vectis Incarnon is in. Everett confirmed Tigris is still coming, just in a later update.

Both Deluxe skins on the table are also confirmed. Dante Deluxe and Baruuk Deluxe started the stream as rival team prizes, but after the competition concluded, Everett announced Baruuk Deluxe is coming in the same update regardless of the loss. Dante's skin carries an owl warlock aesthetic; Baruuk's comes from artists Mattia Sin and Steven. Both have been among the most requested Deluxes in the community for years.

Mesa is the next Heirloom, revealed as a Liger original near the end of the stream and targeting a window around TennoCon. The design leans hard into her Gunslinger identity. Everett's exact description was that Mesa's hand is literally a gun, which should tell you everything you need to know about the direction.

Rebecca Ford was out due to illness today, which contributed to the lighter format. The April Devstream is where the full unannounced update gets its proper breakdown.
