Warframe PS4 Update Brings A New Menu System And Pet Companions

There’s a huge update for Warframe on PS4 on the way, and if it isn’t available for you already, it should be available to download later today. This brings a plethora of new features which should keep the 10 million strong community happy.

On the new update, the creative director stated that they “need a new word for Beta.” continuing that “It just doesn’t fully encompass the evolutionary process that games like Warframe go through over their lifetime.  Getting endless feedback from our players along with our own ambitions for the game makes us continually work to improve it.”

You can see the full change list below:

• NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE – Immerse yourself into the re-imagined user interface and menus aboard your personal spacecraft, The Liset. A meaningful Quest walks new players through Warframe, providing essential information on gameplay, lore, game modes and menus and introduces players to Ordis, the ship’s Cephalon, a guiding voice on The Liset.
• PET COMPANIONS – A new Quest unlocks a Genetic Foundry used for breeding biological specimens on your ship! Breed a Kubrow by collecting a Kubrow egg and incubating it in the Genetic Foundry. Different Kubrow personality types have different combat and non-combat abilities. Make your Kubrow more combat effective by caring for it and equipping powerful link mods. Create genetic imprints of your Kubrow that you can trade with fellow Tenno and combine to create your perfect pet!
• NEW WARFRAME – A master of illusion, Mirage confounds the enemy in a spectacle of style and power. MIRAGE’s powers include:
• Hall of Mirrors – Mirage creates an entourage of doppelgangers to distract and confuse the enemy.
• Sleight of Hand – A natural prankster, Mirage booby-traps nearby objects.
• Eclipse – Standing in light, Mirage becomes the main attraction, dealing heavy damage. While the shadows make Mirage difficult to track and even harder to hurt.
• Prism – Fires an energy orb that shoots lasers in all directions. Activating again detonates the orb, blinding nearby foes.
• QUESTS – Explore re-playable Quests with unlockable difficulty selection. This new Warframe experience opens with the debut Quest, Vor’s Prize.
• NEW DARK SECTORS CONFLICTS – Introducing a new player-versus-player game mode to replace the existing Dark Sectors Solar Rails conflict game mode. Choose which Clan or Alliance you wish to support and play the role of Attacker or Defender on a multi-staged objective mission! Up to four human players per side, with empty player slots auto-filled by Spectres.
• NEW WEAPONS
• AKZANI – The choice weapons of Mirage, these fast-firing dual pistols deliver a deadly performance.
