Warframe is getting its next Nightwave season, Nora's Mix Vol 9, later this May. The last two Nightwaves were themed around two major updates (Jade Shadows and Warframe 1999). By comparison, this one seems to be running with its own theme with a new set of "Raya" skins, shiny gold-accented blue-bronze cosmetics, and a smokey Ephemera.
In this guide, we'll go over what's coming to Warframe with Nightwave Nora's Mix Vol 9 and everything we know about it.
When does Nightwave Nora's Mix Vol 9 start in Warframe?
The Nora's Mix Vol 9 season of Nightwave will begin on May 21 at 2 pm ET (11 am PT / 6 pm UTC). The ongoing season, Nora's Mix Vol 8, will also end on this date, likely an hour before (1 pm ET).
In other words, if you haven't claimed everything from Vol 8, you only have the first three weeks of May to do it. We recommend getting at least the two Augment mods, Leaded Gas and Biotic Rounds, which will sell for a lot of Plats once the season expires.
