Warframe's Caliban Prime is now available ahead of The Old Peace later this year
Following its release date announcement, Digital Extremes has launched Warframe's next Prime Warframe, Caliban, for all platforms ahead of The Old Peace later this year.
Caliban Prime Access is available now, but Warframe players can also earn this for free (with signature weapons) by collecting the relevant Blueprints via Void Relics and crafting his components in the Foundry. In addition to Caliban Prime, new community-created TennoGen cosmetics are also available from the Warframe Marketplace.
Digital Extremes also recently confirmed that it is waiting on Nintendo Switch 2 devkits, but is excited to take advantage of the new console features. Read about that here.
Warframe is now available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. It is heading into closed beta on Android this Fall.
You can find all the Warframe Caliban Prime launch details from Digital Extremes below:
Digital Extremes is ready to slice into Summer, debuting its next Prime Warframe, Caliban. In this new form, Caliban brings increased energy, shields, and an extra Attack Polarity to the Arsenal. Caliban’s signature scythe, Venato Prime, will help slice through those foolish enough to get too close, alongside a brand-new weapon, Vadarya Prime, a sniper rifle that can electrify from a great distance.
"Caliban Prime was specifically selected as our next Prime Warframe to be an intentional step toward The Old Peace,” said Megan Everett, Community Director. “Our Primes are a pivotal window into the lore of Warframe’s history pre-dating the player journey in-game, and later this year, The Old Peace will let us experience it firsthand. We want Primes to go beyond fancy cosmetics, expanding on Warframe’s world-building by reimagining familiar playable characters in their ‘original’ form. The community’s response to Caliban Prime’s in-game reveal during our TennoCon demo is encouraging as we continue to find more creative ways to introduce new Primes in addition to the fun Prime trailers we all love.”
Wield the deadly duality of Caliban Prime to:
Embody Caliban, the heir of two kingdoms and an ancient survivor of The Old War. Forged in a fragile partnership between the Orokin and Sentients, Caliban Prime represents a masterpiece collaboration between the two most powerful tech empires in any known star system.
Dash forward as a spinning vortex to cut down enemies, slam the ground to create a radial shockwave suspending surviving assailants mid-air, summon Prime Sentient constructs to further damage foes, or buff defenses. Melt down larger enemies in a cone of three Tau energy streams that converge into one brutal beam of destruction.
Equip the latest in Prime weaponry: Caliban’s signature melee scythe, Venato Prime, and a brand-new long-distance rifle uncovered from the Orokin archives, Vadarya Prime. This electrifying covert weapon turns struck enemies into lightning rods, with a chance for bolts of lightning that can chain jump to nearby targets.
