With Digital Extremes holding its annual TennoCon 2021 event over the weekend we got our first look at the next major expansion coming to Warframe. Called The New War it's set to offer the next cinematic chapter in the ongoing story with fan-favourites playable too. Also it's set to hit all platforms simultaneously.

With DE set to drop The New War on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S at the same time. Not only that, as per our headline plans are in place to add both cross-play and cross-save functionality to the game. Very cool.

“Community is incredibly important to us and opening up Cross Play and Cross Save is just one of many more efforts we’ll take on to bring more players together including extending Warframe’s fast, fluid, action combat experience to other global gaming platforms,” said Sheldon Carter, Chief Operating Officer at Digital Extremes. “We are at the very beginning of the next-generation of Warframe. We are eight years young and have the benefit of beginning our second console generation with a major game expansion that will also mark a new chapter of more story-based content our players have been asking for.”

Here's the cinematic trailer for The New War.

Prepare yourself, Tenno. The New War is coming, and no one is safe. Old enemies have returned to the Origin System… will the factions unite against Ballas, Erra and the advancing Sentients, or buckle under the weight of a full-scale invasion?

And here's an impressive 30-minutes of gameplay, alongside the surprise reveal of Corpus Engineer Veso, Grineer Soldier Kahl-175, and Dax warrior Teshin all being playable.

With Earth’s mightiest bastion, Cetus, burning and the pride of the Corpus fleet lying in ruins, the combined strength of the Tenno and their allies might be the key to this new war.
