Developer Digital Extremes’ acclaimed free-to-play sci-fi shooter Warframe continues its ceaseless expansion on PC today, its new Deadlock Protocol update introducing new missions, a new Warframe, and a thorough remaster for its ageing Corpus Faction content.
Warframe’s wealth-obsessed Corpus Faction and related Corpus Ship tileset are some of the earliest content created for the game, dating all the way back to its original release in 2013. The tileset itself – which forms Warframe’s procedurally generated interiors – receives a thorough upgrade, boosting graphical fidelity and expanding its spaces to better suit the game’s modern style of play, but there are improvements across all aspects of the Corpus Faction.
You can expect new challenges and enemies – including an overhauled Jackal boss fight – plus new story elements said to shed more light on the origins of the Corpus.

“Nef Anyo claims to have found an heir to the long-deceased Corpus Founder, Parvos Granum, and has the means to prove it,” explains Digital Extremes in a bout of scene-setting for the new update, “The Solaris have begun disappearing in droves and Eudico thinks it has something to do with Nef’s power play. Whoever they are, the heir to the Founder would be able to solve the stalemate and stage a total takeover of the Corpus Board. If Nef Anyo has anything to do with it, that spells bad news for the Solaris.”
