Digital Extremes has confirmed Tau as Warframe's next major expansion, coming in 2026. Its first destination is Fornix, a ring city in the new star system, and the studio describes the expansion as the payoff to more than a decade of Sentient storyline.[1][2]
Coverage places the launch toward the end of 2026, with the Origin System star chart continuing to receive support alongside the new system. A specific November date has not been announced.[2][1]
What Tau adds
Fornix is the first named destination — a ring city — with more destinations planned across the Tau system. The official page carries the coming-2026 commitment without a fixed date.[1]
While you wait
Fall and winter 2026 updates have included an Oberon rework, a Lavos Deluxe skin line and a new mod quest per devstream roundups, alongside Movember cosmetics.[2]
