In their newest Devstream, Warframe developer Digital Extremes revealed details for the MMO's upcoming Abyss of Dagath update. The update, which will be released on October 18, will add the 54th Warframe to its ranks. The legendary headless horsewoman Dagath can conjure spectral sickles and projectile cursed energy from her faceless head. The appropriately-themed update will be released just in time for Halloween and comes with more content including a Prime form of the Warframe Grendel as well as reworks to companions and the Warframe Hydroid.

The 54th Warframe is Dagath, the headless horsewoman

The headless horsewoman Dagath wields a Dorrclave, part sword and part whip. She can also conjure rotating spectral sickles and projectile cursed energy from her faceless head. Dagath has the ability to guard specifically against spectral realm-based damage, and even summon Rakhali's Cavalry, five phantasmal steeds that collide with enemies for massive damage.


I have to admit, this is one of the coolest-looking Warframes in a while. It definitely fits with the spooky nature of the update heading into Halloween.

Grendel Prime and a couple of reworks

The all-devouring Grendel Prime will arrive with the latest Prime Access on October 18. Grendel Prime Access will also feature Prime versions of his signature weapons Masseter Prime as well as Zylok Prime.


Alongside the new Prime, Hydroid, and companions are getting a bit of a rework. Companions are receiving improved vitality and can no longer be permanently defeated during missions. They will instead become incapacitated.


Hydroid is getting improvements to his existing abilities as well as a brand new ability called Plunder. Plunder allows Hydroid to steal armor from enemies within view and convert it to bonus Corrosive weapon damage.

Two events are already underway

Even though the Abyss of Dagath update doesn't drop until October 18, a couple of community events have already begun. First is the Quest to Conquer Cancer (https://www.warframe.com/news/quest-to-conquer-cancer-2023) where players can unlock various rewards while raising funds for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (https://thepmcf.ca/).


The other current event is the Nights of Naberus, which reigns in the spooky season with Halloween-themed cosmetics including masks, armor, skins, and more. A new Naberus Lotus skin is also available during the event.




?Naberus is always a great time of year for Warframe. We have our holiday-themed
54th Warframe, more lore, tons of activities, and quality of life improvements - not to mention
the launch of Grendel?s Prime - no tricks, only treats!?
- Rebecca Ford, Creative DIrector


Warframe's Abyss of Dagath update comes out on October 18 on all platforms. Players can view patch notes of all the planned changes via the Warframe website (https://www.warframe.com/news/abyss-of-dagath).
