Warframe developer Digital Extremes has launched 'Nightwave', a radio broadcast set to introduce "story-infused gameplay" throughout an ongoing series.
With Nightwave, players can tune into their Orbiter Scanners to receive new challenges, collect exclusive rewards, gear, cosmetics and more. All of the new content is available on Switch, as well as other platforms, and it's all free. Things are kicking off with the first series, The Wolf of Saturn Six, although a new one will begin immediately afterwards with a new storyline and new rewards.
The rewards on offer are both exclusive to Nightwave and time sensitive; players can only get them during the duration of the series. You can expect to gather power items such as Orokin Catalysts, Wolf Cred, sought-after Weapon/Warframe slots and highly coveted Forma Bundles, as well as time-sensitive cosmetics including an Armor Set, Syandana, and Noggle.
Switch players are getting the best deal of the bunch, too, as The Wolf of Saturn Six update contains some additional content on Nintendo's platform. You can check out these extra goodies below:
Nintendo Switch players will get the intense boss battle and additional content of Fortuna: The Profit Taker, and we’ll debut TennoGen, the Digital Extremes-approved, community created content players love to own.

I just can't get into this game, despite how hard I've tried to. The early and mid game content is just so tedious and grindy I don't feel like getting to endgame. Maybe because it feels like an MMO, and I burned myself out on those years ago.
A few times now I have clicked a feature link on this site and it takes me to another site saying I’ve won a prize etc, wtf???
Well, at last a reliable way to get Orokin Reactors and Catalyst! Also free weapons slots I believe.
Couldn't check it out yesterday but will do this weekend. I'm just a little worried of how grindy the whole nightwave system is.
@trakkerx Sounds like you there is a redirect app/extension/virus on the browser you're using. You may want to try using another browser to see if you have the same results, or even test going to another site...at any rate, I haven't encountered any behavior like that on this site.
@Newsinz @trakkerx same happened to me, never seen anything like it before in my life, it’s 100% the site
@PorllM hmmm, well I am at work (shhh), so maybe our firewall is preventing some of that nastiness from happening to me.
@Newsinz I’m on a iPhone using Safari, I’m worried because I have recently had a bunch of my accounts hacked! Mostly gaming ones, Epic, Microsoft and Spotify!
@trakkerx Forgive me if I come across as prying (or if I'm simply saying nothing that you don't already know); I work in I.T., so these issues often intrigue me. Are you using the same password across these multiple apps/software? Probably goes without saying, but ALL of your passwords should be changed across the board, even for those apps that didn't appear to be hacked at the time. If someone accessed your email account, then that opens the door for a ton of extensive f*ckery at your expense.
@Newsinz not at all, believe it or not I work in IT too, although hardware not software. I have a bunch of passwords I use and it was only one that has been compromised, which I have changed now but it’s still a worry. Generally I do everything on my mobile and when on a pc I use private browsing. Luckily I managed to get my accounts back, my Spotify was already being used by someone lol.
Great with more content to Warframe. Gotta say I had a rough start with the game, tried to get into it on PC, then PS4, but third time it just clicked. Not just because it was on Switch, but because someone at the forum said "just play and have fun, forget about understanding it for now". Great advice. As I am starting to understand mods, warframes etc. it just gets even better.
Also for anyone wondering, the Nightwave works kinda like achievements, with daily and weekly challenges setting you to eg. scan stuff, kill x amount of enemies, take three capture missions etc. to accumulate points. Played five games got around 5k points. 10k needed for one of the 30ish tiers.
Does it actually look that good on switch? If so that's amazing.
@SetupDisk It looks crazy good on Switch. I'm sure they sold their souls to the devil to get to this level of detail. 😬 It's super solid.
Also did anyone noticed small changes to eg. locker graphics being different after the update? (from red/green lock to something like a glowing lock).
I love this game so much!!
I thought Monster Hunter would be my favorite game(s) of all time forever but Warframe is more varied and the movement speed is exhilarating!
Also I liike it's monotization model and everything it stands for. It's a big middle finger to all AAA studios! <3
No lootboxes, no p2w, premium currency is tradeable between players. I have 150 hours in the game and not once have I felt forced to pay.
I bought Frost Prime because I chose to support the developers, not because I couldn't earn it otherwise. That is FAIR FREE 2 PLAY!
@Swiftstorm, It happened the same way for me, at first I was completely overwhelmed and did not understand much of what I was doing though at the same time I thought what an amazing game so I took the slow and steady approach and just had fun and it started clicking. I Googled a couple of things but what an amazing game to have on Switch and for free, personally I think it the best game on Switch I love that the game is what some call grind I call a ton of replayability. It really has impressed me a game of this magnitude is on Switch and it looks and plays phenomenal and it is FREE.
@Romeo-75 Yeh, it's a funny thing with Warframe, but glad to hear that you had that experience as well. Personally I have also been really surprised (and happy) to see that the nice, helpful and polite community seems to live on on Switch also.
They seem really talented, the game looks amazing. I wish they made grind-free game where you pay money for it and then get entertained by the game, with no microtransactions or paywalls for the less skilled.
