During today’s Devstream 175, Warframe developer Digital Extremes pulled the veil back on its upcoming update, Whispers in the Walls . The update will be coming sometime in December, as well as the gradual rollout of the much anticipated cross-save feature the team has been working on for a while now.
The next cinematic update, Whispers in the Walls , was first shown off in detail during TennoCon 2023. Set around the labs of Warframe ’s Albrecht Entrati, players will uncover some of the secrets surrounding this mysterious figure at the heart of Warframe’s universe.
The update will see players traverse two new tilesets and explore environments heightened by the new tech goodies that the Digital Extremes team is injecting into the ten-year-old sci-fi MMO, including new lighting and volumetric fog systems. Whispers in the Walls will also feature a new hub area, The Sanctum, with the team dropping hints about new mysteries to find, including a new Syndicate.
Coming with the Whispers in the Walls update is a new secondary-weapon type that every player will have access to while doing the new content, the Void-powered, Eldritch blast-slinging Grimoire. This new weapon type will come in handy while taking out the new enemy type, the Murmur, as shown during the TennoLive gameplay during TennoCon 2023.
The team also made mention of some changes coming to Story Skip, as well as revamping the Initiate pack to give new players a faster track to the Whispers in the Walls update. The team is removing the mastery rank needed to do the story quests that lead into the upcoming cinematic quest, which will take effect after Whispers in the Walls updates. The new Initiate Power Pack will give players a Rhino, Nova, some ranked frames and content to get to the new content quickly. This will effectively replace the current Initiate pack that is for sale now, and will work alongside the new streamlined way to experience the story content for those players who need the catch up.
Whispers in the Walls also brings new game modes: Alchemy, which is an Endless game mode; Netracells, which community director Meghan Everett described as a «get your loot and get out» style of game mode. Finally, a new Assassination mode (with a twist) for players to take part in by doing what she describes as «juice the Murmur eye and find The Fragmented One.»
Whispers in the Walls is coming sometime in 2023, and the team revealed that everything players saw at TennoLive will be playable when the update hits. A teaser trailer was released during today’s Livestream, though the full trailer won’t be revealed until next month’s The Game Awards on December 7th. Warframe will also have official Twitch Drops during The Game Awards, giving
