The central feature of Warframe is its titular space-ninja-war-machines. At the time of writing, there are 61 unique Warframes (the untitled 62nd Warframe and Uriel, the 63rd, got announced in TennoCon 2025). Each of them is a unique character (or class, depending on how you look at it) with four or more unique skills. They all stick to some cohesive element or theme that ties their abilities, with few and far between identity overlaps with others.

The game was released with a batch of eight Warframes in its first public beta. We've come a long way since then—making it a fun exercise to see how Warframe design philosophy changed gradually with their release order and the inevitable power creep.
All Warframes in chronological release order
Here are all the Warframes in the game right now, sorted chronologically in order of release date:
Prime Warframes are the ultimate version of a frame, boasting higher stats, more polarized mod slots, and an alternative Orokin-coded look. Their only downside is that they cannot be fed to the Helminth. In another sense, this logic incentivizes you to keep min-max Prime Warframes while the originals get chucked into the subsume pot.

What's the next Primed Warframe coming after Caliban Prime?
The next Prime Warframe is either Styanax or Voruna.
Styanax Prime would be the next one following chronoligcal order. However, male and female Primes are generally alternated with each release, so it's very likely that Voruna Prime will be available in November/December 2025, while Styanax Prime gets to be the first one in 2026.
New Warframes and Primes are usually released once every three to four months, so stay tuned!
