    With Warframe: Tau launching later this year, our first of two dedicated Devstreams took you deeper into its new Star Chart than ever before. We showcased Brysko's Abilities along with his brutal new Weapons, as well as his Chimera Skin — the first in a new class of elite Customizations. We also moved beyond Fornax to the wastelands of Perita, where allies are scarce amongst the warring desert clans battling it out for the moon's precious resources. Be sure to join us next month for our second, Tau-focused Devstream where we'll have even more surprises in store! Catch up on everything we showcased with our official Overview!

Warframe: Amir's Shockwave Nightwave Mix and a New KIM Mini-Adventure Are Live

Warframe's latest Nightwave Mix, Amir's Shockwave, is now live, replacing Nora Night with Amir of The Hex as host. The series brings a new slate of earnable cosmetics themed around the world of Warframe: 1999.

What changed

Nightwave Mix: Amir's Shockwave

  • New rewards include the Globakk Syandana, Kaneshell Atomicycle Regalia, and Teisatz Oculus, among others described as "oh-so much more"
  • Amir of The Hex serves as host in place of the usual Nora Night

Fables & Frontiers: Running Late (separate from the Nightwave Mix)

  • A six-day KIM mini narrative adventure guided by Amir, based on the Fables & Frontiers tabletop game from the Warframe: 1999 setting
  • Unlocking it requires completing The Hex Quest's finale, reaching Rank 5 with The Hex Syndicate, and achieving a KIM Chemistry of "Close" (Rank 5) with Amir
  • Rewards include the Atomicycle Key Sugatra, Fables & Frontiers Glyphs for each Hex member, and several returning items from Nora's Mix Vol. 8
  • All rewards are redeemed from Amir via a bell interaction in a new area of The Höllvania Central Mall, exchanged for Hex Standing
  • Designated a permanent addition to the KIM System — not time-locked to the current Nightwave Mix

For players already invested in The Hex storyline, the narrative adventure offers a meaningful expansion of Amir's character, while those simply passing through can chase the cosmetic rewards without engaging with either system deeply.
