Start at the End and Experience a Mind Bending Open World in The Duviri Paradox
Launching worldwide for all platforms in April, The Duviri Paradox is a roguelike-inspired and emotionally-driven Open World experience accessible to all players new and old. Telling a gritty, sci-fi story that follows the Drifter stuck in a massive color-changing and reality-fractured world, The Duviri Paradox is unlike any Warframe expansion ever released. With The Duviri Paradox, Digital Extremes has evolved the game’s action combat experience to invite all players into the Void-wrecked unknown where the Drifter, along with their Kaithe, and Warframes adventure and fly across this vast color-shifting reality to face off against a powerful new Child King ruler - Dominus Thrax.
On Devstream 168 today, the Warframe team dove into the strange new world of Duviri, the game’s fourth Open World, for a closer look at the improved Drifter experience, including a new upgraded melee combat system, Intrinsics for players to upgrade their Combat, Riding Abilities, Opportunity, and Endurance, along with a review of the expansion’s Decree system and all-new Drifter customizations. All players new and old will start their Duviri journey by selecting one of three game modes: 'The Circuit' which provides a new Warframe Only endless game mode, 'The Duviri Experience' which is a full open world adventure, and 'The Lone Story' for a solo narrative experience. Prepare to experience an emotionally-charged and wondrous world where visual and gameplay experiences shift and transpose as the mood of the Child King ruler Dominus Thrax changes day-to-day, weaving through elements of Fear, Anger, Happiness, Envy, and Sadness. Each mood in The Duviri Paradox is visually represented in environments and combat, where enemies and the citizens of Duviri behave differently and colors shift to create a new experience with each step into this world touched by the Void.
In addition to Quests and Activities, The Duviri Paradox will unite core Warframe with all things related to the Drifter. Below the floating islands of Duviri lurks an area, The Undercroft, a broken Void space where Dominus Thrax could not completely control the Void. The Undercroft contains a full Warframe experience free from the eyes of Dominus Thrax, featuring custom Warframe arenas where Decrees also matter and a mix of known enemies and different threats of Warframe exist. Completing this Warframe segment of The Durivi Paradox rewards players and sends them back to Duviri while restoring color to the shifting world.
Additional information about The Duviri Paradox, including its official April release date, will be unveiled soon.
