Overview
- The update launched on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 and is live now, but returning players must complete the New War saga and the original Jade Shadows before they can start Constellations.
- Constellations introduces a switchable, feuding Warframe that lets players flip between Sirius and Orion with separate customization and signature scythes, and the expansion honours which child the player picked in the original quest.
- Two new Protoframes — Ryoku (Ash‑inspired) and Vena (Garuda‑inspired) — drive the story and lead to parallel, multiplayer Railjack mission chains with distinct ships and encounter designs tied to the side you choose.
- The update ties new live‑service progression into the quest by awarding Emerald or Crimson Talent tokens for siding with Ryoku or Vena, which can be spent at a Pontis Tower vendor, and it adds Incarnon variants for Vectis and Stug, two Arcanes, new augments, and Styanax Prime.
- Digital Extremes frames Constellations as a direct narrative sequel that continues the emotional Jade Shadows arc, furthers the studio's use of interim 'intermission' updates to explore side characters, and sets player attention toward TennoCon and the upcoming Tau storyline.
