After first appearance as Codename: Railjack at TennoCon 2018 and then reintroduction as the new Empyrean expansion at E3 2019, the players of Warframe have been waiting breathlessly for the next evolution of the game. During TennoCon 2019, Digital Extremes revealed new details about Warframe's Empyrean cooperative expansion, updates, and a new intro cinematic.
 
Describing the upcoming expansion, Digital Extremes said: “Empyrean expands the premise of Warframe by handing players and their clanmates the keys to the powerful Railjack battleship.
 
“ Prepare to soar through the Origin System, explore new territory, and fight hostile forces with serious firepower!
“With an in-ship interface to control speed and direction, shield deployment, offensive missile volleys and gunner fire - including the ability to deploy Archwings and infiltrate enemy ships - players are now armed with an arsenal of tools to fend off and destroy enemy opposition.
“Player ships can be upgraded, take damage, and be customised, among many other things.”
 
Empyrean Deep Space Combat
 

 
 

Empyrean will expand Warframe by allowing players and their clan mates to take control of the Railjack battleship and initiate in deep space combat. With it, they'll travel through the Origin System, exploring new territory and fighting hostile forces in the process. Here are top 5 features detailed in the demo:
 
• Siege and Steal Enemy Ships: Infiltrate opponent ships using Archwings, kill the captain and take the helm of their ship! It’s time to become a swashbuckling space ninja, Tenno.
 
• Dynamic Situations: During your missions, you’ll need to take into account additional hazards to complete your mission successfully. The TennoLive demo showed off Void Storms that can disable equipment, boarding parties that can breach your Railjack and an Infested ambush deep within an ancient Orokin ruin.
 
• Signal the Squad Link: Transcend beyond your solo objective and tap into a larger mission by reaching out to other squads of Tenno using the Squad Link. In multi-objective missions from space, players can call up active players on Fortuna or Plains of Eidolon (or vice versa) to help the bigger cause -- lower enemy ship shields, steal valuable data, and more, as the New War looms.
 
• Customize and Upgrade Everything: The Drydock is your Railjack’s personal space hangar. Upgrade your battleship’s Equipment, Cosmetic, and Reinforcements with weapons such as the Auto-Cannon, Pulse Laser, Homing Missile Launcher, EMP Stun weapons, and Decoy Countermeasures. Boost your Shields, Engine, Hull and Stealth using resources found during your voyages. Beautify it all by customizing aesthetics from primary, secondary and tertiary colors and accents. And of course, christen your ship with a custom name emblazoned on the Railjack’s hull.
 
• Kingpin System: Enemies have started to adapt to Tenno lethality, and from it, kingpins will emerge. More information coming soon.
