To celebrate seven years of Warframe, Digital Extremes is calling on the gaming community to help them design a new Warframe. A Warframe hasn't been designed this way since 2013, and the result of that process has been Nova, a Warframe that's still relevant since its launch. If you are interested in participating in the process, we have all the details you will need.
The design process is divided into six stages.
Community - call for topics
The Warframe Call for Themes is open Friday March 6 - Thursday March 19. This all relates to the central theme of Warframe, and abilities are not included in this design phase. First of all, this is a strong theme! If you have a strong concept that you think would make a great central theme for a Warfram, you can submit it here!
Design tip: vote for the theme
The Design Council is a group of founders and players who provide ongoing feedback on the game. The development team will review all theme proposals and vote for the top 10 themes, which will then be presented to the Design Council. The Design Council will vote on Friday March 20 - Thursday March 26 to choose the final theme for Warframe.
Conception of Warframe
Community artist Warframe Eornheit will design a Warframe based on the theme chosen by the Design Council. Eornheit is a very talented artist with a long history of working in the Warframe world.
Capacity design
This step puts the power back in the hands of the community, and it's time to build Warframe's abilities. Call for Warframe Abilities will open Friday April 17 - Thursday April 30
Determine the power and playstyle of the Community-Designed Warframe. We will update this official forum post with a link to submit Warframe capabilities once the call for submissions is launched.
Alt helmet design
Faven, the creator of TennoGen behind some of the most popular games skins, and the entire Graxx series will be designing another helmet for the new Warframe.
Reveal at TennoCon 2020
The community-created Warframe name and final design will be revealed on Saturday, July 11 during the TennoCon 2020 live stream.
