Warframe release cycle

At this point, it’s expected that there will be a new Warframe and a Prime every three to four months. The new frames come out with a significant update like Qorvex did with the Whispers in the Walls quest (Update 35). Then, as the update goes to the halfway stage or interim update (ex. Dante Unbound Update 35.5), another fame is released.

There is typically a quest or game mode that goes alongside the new frame. Whether it’s for lore reasons or new missions to grind, there’s more than just the frame to their update.

Lastly, Primes mostly come out on a hotfix day. Sometimes, their releases coincide with a major update, but it’s mostly a time factor. A good indicator to see when the next one comes out is when you start seeing news that the most recent Prime Access is going away soon. Check Warframe’s socials to see when exactly those end so you can plan for the next Prime drop.
