Devstream 181 was broadcast live from the Event Stage at Tokyo Game Show 2024 and included the full reveal of our next update, Koumei & the Five Fates (along with the release date of next week on October 2!). We also unveiled some new teaser art from our upcoming collaboration with The Line and announced the upcoming release of a new playable Warframe: 1999 demo on October 16.
If you weren't able to join us live, we've compiled some of the stream's most memorable highlights below. For all of the nitty-gritty details, you can also check out our official Devstream Overview[www.warframe.com].
Koumei & the Five Fates: Coming October 2
With just a few days remaining before launch, Devstream 181 saw the premiere of the Koumei & the Five Fates Official Gameplay Trailer:
58th Warframe: Koumei
Test your luck with the Dice-Maiden, Tenno! Koumei weaves fate to unleash damage and ensure her survival. To the virtuous, she is an oracle. To the wicked, a perilous game of chance.
Passive:
Fate selects one of her weapons to impart randomized status effects when dealing damage. This passive effect swaps to another weapon after a duration.
Important Note: as the Dice-Maiden, Koumei rolls 5 Dice for each Ability cast, which impacts each Ability in its own way.
First Ability: Kumihimo
Weaves the threads of Destiny. Enemies who touch these threads suffer a random Status Effect.
Rolling three 6s on her Dice will spawn Threads that deal every Status Effect on contact.
Second Ability: Omikuji
Koumei glimpses a favorable future and the precise steps needed to reach it. Cast the ability to uncover a challenge — completing it will reward Koumei a random Decree.
A roll of triple sixes will grant a Decree without needing to complete a challenge.
Third Ability: Omamori
Surround yourself with Omamori Charms, each with a chance to have enemy attacks heal you instead of damage you. The number of charms is determined by Koumei’s dice roll.
A roll of triple sixes grants invulnerability for the duration of your Omamori Charms.
Fourth Ability: Bunraku
Wield your foe’s fate threads like the strings of marionettes, suspending enemies in front of Koumei. Her dice determine the number of random Status Effects dealt to affected foes.
A roll of triple sixes maximizes Status Effect stacks and extends Bunraku to enemies behind Koumei.
New Deluxe Skins
Adorn yourself in the delicate beauty of sakura with Nova Aozakura, or embody a mythological god of thunder with Volt Raijin. Each of these Deluxe Skins also includes Ephemeras and Signas:
Caliban will also enjoy the Deluxe Skin treatment with the new Caliban Orfeo Collection! This otherworldly Deluxe Skin also brings the Seighe Scythe Skin and Heurodis Ephemera, pictured below:
Warframe Reworks
In addition to her graceful Deluxe Skin, Nova will also benefit from a "Light" Rework that makes minor (but welcome) improvements to her antimatter themed Abilities:
Caliban's Rework, on the other hand, is much more robust, as Design Director Pablo Alonso explains below:
Caliban Giveaway
Between his extensive Rework and otherworldly Orfeo Collection, Koumei & the Five Fates is shaping up to be a fairly Caliban-heavy update! To help facilitate the ease of trying out his new changes and improvements for yourself, we'll be giving away a free base Caliban Warframe (and Warframe slot) to all Tenno who log in between October 2 and October 16. Click here[www.warframe.com] for our full round-up of Caliban's new adaptations.
Quality of Life Improvements
Many of the QoL changes and New Player Experience improvements coming with Koumei & the Five Fates were already detailed in our Dev Workshop[forums.warframe.com], but during Devstream 181 we also announced a new, streamlined login process for Steam-linked accounts, as well as an expansion to Cross Platform Trading that will allow Tenno to more freely trade and gift across different platforms.
Warframe: 1999 Demo Coming October 16
On October 16, we’re giving all Tenno a taste of 1999! Hop into Höllvania as Arthur and battle the Scaldra atop your turbo-charged Atomicycle. This short demo will be accessible directly from your Orbiter. Complete it for yourself to earn a free Protokol Longsword Skin!
