Tenno, it’s time to prepare your arsenals and dive back into one of the most emotional narrative arcs in Origin System history. Digital Extremes has just dropped the official gameplay launch trailer for Warframe | Jade Shadows: Constellations, and the update is officially available now across all major platforms.
If you thought the original 2024 Jade Shadows quest tore at your heartstrings, brace yourselves. This new cinematic chapter ups the ante with a brilliant blend of high-stakes space opera and adrenaline-pumping shonen anime drama.
Check out the breakdown of what’s waiting for you in the latest update below, and watch the official gameplay trailer to see the cosmic chaos in action.
The Stalker’s Ultimate Dilemma: Sirius vs. Orion
The core of Jade Shadows: Constellations focuses heavily on the Stalker, forcing him back into an alliance with the Tenno to handle a crisis of celestial proportions. His twin sons from parallel futures have crossed over into the current Origin System timeline. The catch? They are locked in a bitter feud, and both are trying to claim their father for their respective realities.
- Sirius: Raised on the compassionate ideals of his mother, Jade, and mentored by Ryoku (the Ash Protoframe). He seeks to safely collapse the fracturing timelines.
- Orion: Driven by his father’s raw, relentless determination and backed by the bloodthirsty Vena (the Garuda Protoframe). He wants to ensure his timeline’s survival at any cost.
Even the ancient Sentient Hunhow steps in, urging the Stalker to put a definitive end to this reality-shattering sibling rivalry.
Introducing the First Dual-Warframe: Sirius & Orion
In a massive gameplay first for Warframe, you won’t just choose between these two rivals—you’ll control them simultaneously. Sirius & Orion constitute the game’s first true “dual-Warframe,” allowing you to tag-team and switch between them on the fly mid-combat.
Their kit revolves around cosmic synergy and massive elemental control:
- Sirius utilises Jade Light-infused scythe throws (Coronal Ejection), healing wells (Light’s Sanctuary), and protective heat motes.
- Orion counters with heavy armour-stripping slash attacks (Gravitic Slash), decoy defensive shields (Astral Shell), and miniature black holes (Event Horizon).
- Celestial Clash (Ultimate): Both brothers take to the skies in a beautifully animated cosmic duel, spending “Constellation Stars” to rain down massive Blast damage across the battlefield.
More Railjack Action and Prime Power
The content doesn’t stop with the narrative quest. Once you’ve settled the timeline dispute, you’ll head over to the Uranus Proxima for an overhauled, incredibly accessible series of Railjack space-combat missions.
The update also features:
- The arrival of the 50th Prime Warframe: Styanax Prime Access.
- The new Dante Tytonis skin.
- Fresh Incarnon weapons, Signas, new hairstyles for your Operator/Drifter, and holographic Atragraph mod cosmetics.
