Warframe’s Next Major Update Finally Introduces the Long-Awaited Spider Warframe

Okay, so here’s the thing. Warframe—ever heard of it? It’s getting this wild update they spilled the beans about at Pax East. They’re calling it Isleweaver, and apparently, we’re getting a spider-themed warframe—Oraxia. Yes, spiders. Creepy, right? Anyway, hitting in June, but who knows when exactly.

Picture this: Duviri, a massive zone first dropping in 2023, getting a facelift. And right smack there, Oraxia hanging out on an island, like they’ve been chilling forever. So, you gotta take her down, grab some currency, and trade it for the 61st warframe plus some signature weapons. Feels like a saga, huh?

Now, sidetrack to this—spider warframes have been a running joke among the devs. Fans kept nagging about it during streams. Warframe’s dabbled with monster themes before. Take Voruna, the werewolf frame. Or Sevagoth, a kind of space ghosty thing. And let’s not even start with Inaros, the mummy. But Limbo, now there’s a warframe to watch out for—if you catch my drift.

But Isleweaver’s not just about Oraxia. Oh no, there’s more. Major Neci Rusalka’s showing up in Duviri, causing chaos. And guess what? You can actually use your own warframes and weapons this time—breaking that rogue-like chain. Thank goodness.

Oh! Valkyr is getting a makeover too—some new rage mechanic, threading through her skills. People have mixed feelings about Duviri. Some love it; it’s a neat trick for newbies, unlocking stuff without backtracking forever. Handy if you’re like me and just want to try gear you haven’t snagged yet.

But some grumble about it diverging from their precious loadouts. You know, the people who’ve latched onto their Saryn Prime forever. Maybe Isleweaver’s giving a nod to those grumps by letting them wield their own gear. We’ll see come June—waiting is a drag, right?

So yeah, what’s the vibe? Looking forward to Oraxia and Isleweaver in general? Curious what you folks think, honestly.
