<p>Since July 2018, our development team has talked about giving <strong><em><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/warframe/?activetab=pivot:overviewtab">Warframe</a></em></strong> players something different than the tried-and-true procedurally generated corridor shooters and open-world expansions they have become used to. They have wanted to expand <em>Warframe</em>’s gameplay into real-time, ship-to-ship space combat. </p>
<p>With<br />
that first <em>Railjack</em> demo shown at TennoCon one-and-a-half years ago,<br />
they turned a wild, nearly impossible dream they once had with our original<br />
third-person action-adventure, <em>Dark Sector,</em> into a reality. <em>Empyrean</em>,<br />
available now on Xbox One, is just that. <em>Warframe</em> players now have the<br />
keys to a powerful battleship and dares them to fly into fast-paced, all-out<br />
battleship combat.</p>

</div>
<p>Starting<br />
with three gorgeous new space environments, Earth, Saturn, and Veil Proxima, <em>Warframe</em><br />
players must build a Dry Dock and the Railjack battleship, rally together their<br />
clan, and launch into the wild unknown of deep space. In these all new<br />
tilesets, Tenno (players’ names in game) will crash head-on into hostile<br />
Grineer forces in next-level, team-oriented cooperative play.</p>
<p>This<br />
first stage of <em>Empyrean</em> is designed as a real, honest-to-goodness<br />
cooperative experience. Solo players will still<br />
be able to enjoy <em>Empyrean</em>, but the difficulty and progression is<br />
balanced around two-, three-, and four-player crews. Come 2020, we’ll bring<br />
enhanced solo capabilities and even more surprises!</p>

</div>
<p>Starting<br />
today, <em>Empyrean</em> will be an intense rush for both new and veteran Xbox<br />
One players. By shooting waves of opponent Fighters and Crewships from the<br />
pilot seat or gunner positions, we hope to capture some of those early<br />
Millenium Falcon moments from “Star Wars: A New Hope.” You might just<br />
reflexively yell to your teammates, “Don’t get cocky kid!” </p>
<p>Blasting like a bullet from the Archwing Cannon into enemy vessels to commandeer or destroy their ships might feel a touch like our version of those powerful action scenes from “Captain Marvel.”</p>

</div>
<p>Before and during each fight, players will experience <em>Empyrean</em>’s new on-board ship systems. Starting with simple Railjack aesthetics like giving your ship a name, selecting colors or skins, and moving on to constructing weapons, armor and actual ship powers, players will uncover deep, rich systems designed to fulfill their space ninja — and now, space pirate — power fantasies. </p>
<p>All<br />
of this, while working together to take down enemy ships, putting out fires,<br />
welding holes in the hull, boarding enemy craft, being boarded by enemy craft,<br />
and more, create a unique urgency and gameplay tension totally new to <em>Warframe</em>. </p>
<p>Over the holidays with family and friends around, there is nothing quite like a great cooperative experience, so we think you’re going to love <em>Empyrean</em>. So, give it a shot. <strong><em><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/warframe/?activetab=pivot:overviewtab">Warframe</a></em></strong> is free and available now on Xbox One via the Microsoft Store.
