Digital Extremes brought a packed show to PAX East 2025, delivering major reveals for both Warframe and Soulframe during their live Devstream at the Main Theater. With the Isleweaver narrative chapter arriving in June, Yareli Prime dropping on May 21, and a new Soulframe boss trailer lighting up the stage, it’s a busy summer ahead for fans of the studio’s signature sci-fantasy universes.
Warframe’s Isleweaver Update Launches in June
The next story-driven update, Isleweaver, continues the epic saga set in Warframe: 1999. Players will return to the realm of Duviri, now under siege by Major Rusalka, who’s seized the royal throne. The update includes new enemies like the Murmur, and an upcoming Clan Operation: Eight Claw mission. Expect more story, new systems, and a dark twist on the fractured world of Duviri.
Meet Oraxia, Warframe’s Long-Awaited Spiderframe
Community dreams of a “Spiderframe” finally come true with Oraxia, the game’s 61st Warframe. Designed around the theme of deadly arachnids, Oraxia can:
- Climb walls for new traversal options
- Summon spiderlings
- Ensnare enemies in webs
- Siphon energy and health from prey
Oraxia’s tortured origin story ties directly into Isleweaver’s themes of isolation and madness, making her one of the most narratively cohesive Warframes yet.
Yareli Prime Surfs In May 21
Get ready to ride the wave with Yareli Prime and her stylish upgrades. Alongside her, players can obtain the Daikyu Prime bow and Kompressa Prime pistol. She keeps her bubbly control kit intact, merging aquatic mobility with crowd control in dazzling fashion.
Valkyr and Vauban Heirloom Skins Incoming
On July 21, fan-favorite berserker Valkyr gets her first Heirloom skin, complete with a major gameplay rework to make her more viable. Vauban’s Heirloom skin is set for early 2026, created in collaboration with community artists Pertti Bahaa and Lua_Luminary, respectively.
Soulframe’s Bromius Tease and New Environment Revealed
Fans also got a new look at Soulframe, the studio’s next high-fantasy MMO-like experience. A new trailer showed:
- The forested region of Neathuns
- A massive three-headed armored bear boss named Bromius
- Upgrades to combat, social systems, and worldbuilding based on community feedback
Expect a full Bromius boss fight reveal at TennoCon in July.
Digital Extremes continues to raise the bar in both storytelling and community engagement. With Warframe heading into a spider-filled new chapter and Soulframe evolving into an increasingly polished world of mystery and myth, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the studio.
