The new update for PC called Update 14: "The Wacky Cephalon" focuses on simplifying the new user experience and immersing the player even more in the universe of Warframe. This update includes a completely redesigned user interface, and a new ship for players, the Liset. It is a new system of missions that start with "The Dam of Vor" and makes the video game more accessible to gamers. New and long-awaited pets also arrive, such as the kubrow, and a new Warframe, Mirage, the Mistress of Illusion, and much more.
"We are reusing the B from Beta in this update," he jokes Steve Sinclair, creative director of Digital Extremes. Seriously, we need a new word to define if something is in 'beta'. It just doesn't fully encompass the evolutionary process that games like Warframe go through during their lifetime. Getting unlimited feedback from our players and linking it to our own ambitions to continually improve the game makes it difficult to find a term for the actual state of the development process. Sometimes this process means that we have to redo fundamental components of the game, such as the player experience system. This work system has been a totally new experience for us –the fact of being directly connected with the players–: modifying the game thanks to them, improving it, knowing what to modify and, thanks to this, making the game what ever we imagine that it could become ».
The close relationship of the community of Warframe with the development team development has paid off: 10 million registered players worldwide for platforms PC y PlayStation 4 in just over a year, and still in Open Beta version. The development format close to a Kickstarter, and the passion of the community for the video game, has helped make it the most downloaded video game for PS4 and to reach the agreement that will allow launching it for Xbox One throughout this summer.
The new Update includes the following main features:
New user experience - Immerse yourself in a completely redesigned user interface, new options and your personal ship, the Liset. A lot of missions await you in Warframe, and you will be able to learn more about all aspects of the game: receive more information during the games, learn the story, easy access to game modes, menus, etc. In addition, you will meet Ordis, the Cephalon of the ship, a voice that will guide you through the Liset.
