Warframe's big update
Warframe's 'The Shadowgrapher' update just dropped with a new frame called Follie, a 4v1 survival‑horror mode, and a Switch 2 version running 1080p/60fps with DLSS support. (x.com)
Follie is Warframe’s 64th Warframe and arrives with an ink‑themed kit built around four named abilities: Forced Perspective, Shadowgraph, Self Portrait and Plein Air. ( warframe.com ) Her passive introduces an “Inkblot” status that can slow enemies by up to 50% and gives afflicted foes a chance to drop Health and Energy Orbs. ( warframe.com ) Follie’s Hunt puts up to four players inside a painting in the ruined Vesper Relay to collect paint and finish scattered canvases while being pursued by an overpowering, invulnerable hunter. ( warframe.com ) Developers say finished canvases both advance objectives and escalate the match by reducing Follie’s ability cooldowns and increasing her aggression as the round progresses. ( game8.co ) Completing Follie’s Hunt rewards a new commodity, Atramentum, which can be traded with Aspirant Zorba for Follie blueprints, the Enkaus beam rifle and new cosmetic “Atragraph” items. ( warframerelics.com ) Aspirant Zorba only appears after completing The Chains of Harrow quest, while Warframe’s site notes that players must have finished The War Within to begin The Shadowgrapher questline. ( warframerelics.com ) ( warframe.com ) Digital Extremes launched a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 edition on March 25, 2026 that targets 1080p at 60 FPS, adds DLSS support and brings enhanced shadows, volumetrics and higher‑resolution textures. ( game8.co ) The Switch 2 build also adds Joy‑Con 2 mouse support, faster load times and cross‑play/cross‑save functionality according to developer notes and coverage. ( finalweapon.net ) The Shadowgrapher update deployed as Patch 2.48/1.056 (version 1.056.000) with downloads ranging from roughly 2.4 GB on PC DX11 builds to over 5 GB on PlayStation builds. ( mp1st.com ) Update 42 also ships a visual remaster of The Awakening quest, three new Adversary weapons (including the Kuva Ghoulsaw and Tenet Quanta), expanded Palladino’s Wares, clan weekly cooperation initiatives and reduced acquisition grind for older Warframes. ( warframerelics.com ) Operation: Atramentum tied to the update begins April 2 and is scheduled to run through April 23 with rotating rewards on the Vesper Relay. ( YouTube - Devstream 193 )
