Warframe Unveils ‘Techrot Encore’ Update and Lavos Prime Launch for February

The Warframe universe shows no signs of slowing down as Digital Extremes gears up for another content-packed winter. During last Friday’s Devstream, the team shared a glimpse at what’s next for the Tenno community, teasing the upcoming Techrot Encore update, which will hit all platforms in March. And while we wait for this latest installment, February brings plenty of excitement with the arrival of Lavos Prime and a host of activities designed to keep players engaged.

A Glimpse Into Techrot Encore

The Techrot Encore update serves as a continuation of the narrative first introduced in Warframe: 1999, ramping up the tension as players uncover the chilling aftermath of the enigmatic Techrot scourge. While Digital Extremes kept most of the details under wraps during the stream, the teasers suggest an emotionally charged storyline paired with fresh gameplay challenges. Whether you’re into unraveling lore or testing your skills in high-octane combat, this update promises something special for every kind of Tenno.

Mark your calendars for March—this expansion is shaping up to be a must-play chapter in the ever-evolving saga of Warframe. Until then, fans can revisit the Devstream on Warframe’s YouTube channel or on Twitter for a closer look at what lies ahead.
