While most
Warframe players are anxiously awaiting the massive
Empyrean expansion, a new update to the game sets the stage by introducing a new quest line in which you can build the ultimate battleship. The
Rising Tide update is now live on PC and coming soon to consoles. It takes the first steps in preparing players for Empyrean, the upcoming expansion that will introduce cooperative space combat when it launches.
The highlight of
Rising Tide is a quest to build the Railjack battleship. After constructing the clan Dry Dock, Tenno can farm for and build the A.I., Cephalon Cy, which then
introduces a mission in which players scour the Origin System for lost Railjack technology to construct the battleship. Unfortunately, it won't be of much use until Empyrean launches, which Digital Extremes says will be "later this year." Once the expansion does launch, the Railjack can be further customized with new weapons, parts, and mods.
The Rising Tide update also updates some of the visual aspects of the personal landing craft, adding
"updated machines, enhanced lighting, and even a new 'moonroof.'" New weapons, armor, and cosmetics are also available, starting with the Cumulus Collection. There's also the new Equinox Antonym Collection, which includes a new skin that transforms when Equinox shifts forms.
Build the Dry Dock, assemble your Railjack and prepare for Empyrean. What will begin as a hangar will evolve into your sanctuary, a space to hone and upgrade your ship with powerful technology to become the weapon you’ll need.
