The surprise sequel to our 2024 Stalker-focused update will include Sirius and Orion, plus all-new Protoframes for Garuda and Ash as well as fresh Railjack content and Dante Tytonis.

***WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR JADE SHADOWS***

Our former "Unannounced 2026 Update" has been revealed as Jade Shadows: Constellations, a continuation of 2024's Jade Shadows featuring a new Quest that will once again put you in control of the Stalker as he navigates the complexities of fatherhood.

Arriving via a high-octane animated short produced in collaboration with THE LINE[www.thelinestudio.com] and renowned metal band ERRA[errastore.com], this announcement also gave Tenno their first look at the Stalker's children, Orion and Sirius.

If you missed it live during Devstream 195, you can check it out below:

As you might have guessed from the animated short, Orion and Sirius didn't arrive in the Orb Vallis on their own. Joining them are two new faces that were also revealed during the stream: Vena, the Protoframe version of Garuda, and Ryoku, the Protoframe version of Ash. Each has taken one of the feuding brothers under their respective wings, and they both play a significant role in shaping their never-ending conflict.

While Vena and Ryoku will not be available to date via the KIM system once the update is live, they will be recruitable for your Railjack as crew members, allowing you to assign them to any role you see fit, with any of the weapons in your Arsenal.


Once you complete the new Quest, you can access the Uranus Proxima region of the Railjack Star Chart. There you'll find two brand-new Mission nodes waiting for you, each of which is uniquely tied to Vena and Ryoku.

If you've been neglecting your own Railjack (or have yet to acquire one), fret not! You can still board one and complete these new Missions in order to earn the Intrinsics and Railjack-specific Rewards they offer. You'll also get the chance to explore the stunningly-remastered ship tiles created specifically for Vena and Ryoku's spacefaring vessels, each of which reflect their distinct personalities.


The embodiment of the Infestation in Warframe form is about to become even more potently parasitic with a new Ability Retouch, arriving alongside Jade Shadows: Constellations. As explained by Warframe Design Director Pablo Alonso, Nidus will receive a significant health boost and general Ability improvements to make him both more accessible and enjoyable to wield on the battlefield.


The scholarly Warframe caused quite a stir at PAX East 2026 when his Deluxe incarnation was shown for the first time. Now revealed as Dante Tytonis, we showed his new Customizations in-game for a closer look, including the Noctua Lophos Skin for his Exalted Tome.

Please note: Dante Tytonis was originally shown alongside the upcoming Baruuk Deluxe. The latter has been shifted back and will not release as part of Jade Shadows: Constellations.


Before you step back into the role of the Stalker in June, you'll have the chance to aid him once more in defending the memory of Jade from the clutches of Parvos Granum! Operation: Belly of the Beast returns on May 4 at 2 p.m. ET to June 1 at 2 p.m. ET. Both new and returning Rewards will be up for grabs — including exclusive offerings earned by playing with your Clanmates.

Full Operation details can be found here.
