The subsequent huge replace for space-ninja looty shooter Warframe is simply over the horizon. The Jovian Concord, beforehand often called the Gas City Remaster replace, is due out subsequent week, though Digital Extremes are a bit fuzzy on what day precisely. It’ll convey a whole story-driven rework to one of many free-to-play shooter’s earliest setting varieties (Corpus gas-mining platforms on Jupiter), a brand new set of enemies, a giant honkin’ flying monster boss (above) and a brand new Warframe. Below, trailers trying on the overhauled industrial zones and a peek on the new Warframe’s powers.
As coated in my earlier chat with Jovian Concord lead artist Ron Davey, this isn’t only a visible rework of the Gas City environments, however updating them to higher match Warframe as it really works now. Characters are extra agile, dangling cables double as tightropes to run alongside, and there are alternatives to apply your physics-defying parkour expertise on the outer edges of the platforms now. Within the town gamers will likely be tussling with Amalgams, a brand new set of villains from the present Nightwave story arc. Players which have completed the Chimera Prologue story quest may also stumble upon the Ropalolyst, the primary flying Eidolon boss.
If you’re rolling with a celebration to hunt this huge new critter, new Frame Wisp looks like a superb decide to steer the group. She can place power-reservoirs which might buff close by mates or suppress enemies, and whereas she’s hanging in mid-air, she’s invisible and fewer prone to get blatted by large flying monsters. Her final assault is probably the most fun-looking although. Sol Gate does precisely what it says on the tin, and opens up a portal to the floor of the solar, which I collect is a bit heat at the moment of 12 months. It’s a giant ol’ loss of life beam, and a spectacular room-clearing software. Praise the solar!
The replace may also embody a brand new Amalgam-heavy game mode known as Disruption, set on Jupiter’s moon, Ganymede. It’s an infinite survival problem with a secondary objective of unlocking and defending energy conduits. You acquire keys from defeated enemies, unlock them, then guard them. Each one activated will add a random participant (or enemy) buff or map hazard to the combo. As per Warframe commonplace, the Jovian Concord additionally comes with a number of new weapons, weapon mods, a set of additional Wisp-themed beauty gear, and a brand new (and really flash) deluxe character pores and skin for Nyx.
The Jovian Concord replace (official page here) launches, free, someday subsequent week. Warframe is free-to-play, and you’ll snag it direct from Digital Extremes or via Steam. While you’re catching up, take a look at Dave Irwin’s guide on hunting the Wolf Of Saturn Six, the massive dangerous boss of the present Nightwave season, solely just lately revealed.
