Exploring the New Tau Star Chart and Brysko: Warframe’s 67th Hero!

Welcome to Tau, Tenno!

Get ready to step into the cosmic playground of Warframe’s upcoming Tau expansion! Mark your calendars because in December 2026, a shiny new star system is tossed into your gaming universe—and it’s totally free! Alongside this astronomical adventure, we’re also welcoming our 67th Warframe, Brysko, who’s here to steal the spotlight and your hearts, supported by his loyal hound. With Matt Mercer lending his voice, this character is bound to be as charming as a dog in a Halloween costume.

What’s New in Tau?

So, what’s the scoop, you ask? First up, this expansion introduces a completely fresh star chart! The Tau system will kick off with two lively locations—Perita, the sunshine of our star chart, and the suspiciously mafia-riddled city of Fornax. Let’s take a peek at Perita, which will serve as our bustling hub.

Perita looks like it’s gone through a dramatic glow-up thanks to the events of The Old Peace. The World Cedar Oasis is not just your run-of-the-mill watering hole; it’s a vibrant spot where the Cleaving Glaive syndicate has made their home. Expect that classic Warframe flair with distinct missions and a dash of nostalgia as we revisit some old favorites!

Now, get this: if you’re battling through Sandstorm Survival in Perita, expect the environment to throw some serious shade—or, in this case, a sandstorm! Watch your step… or get ready to take a dirt nap. Because nothing says “fun” like getting obliterated by Mother Nature, am I right?

Now, let’s saunter over to Fornax, where things get a bit more intense. Warning: falling off the map will literally lead to your demise! Yep, you heard it right! No cozy teleportation here; it’s a straight-up trip to the great beyond. But fear not, there’s some really eye-popping scenery awaiting you, and if you’re lucky, you might just stumble upon a crew from the Fornax syndicate kicking back and plotting their next big heist.

Feeling a little nostalgic? You’re in luck! With this update, ten Prime sets are skipping the vault and landing directly in Perita. No more waiting in line for eons—now you can farm those relics to your heart’s content!

Along for the ride is the addition of new damage types. You’ll get to mash up your Tau damage with the existing IPS types (that’s Impact, Puncture, and Slash, for those not in the know) to whip up shiny new combo attacks that are bound to make enemies quake in their boots. Plus, buffs for existing mods are coming too. Get ready to spice things up in the combat department!

And now, a drumroll please for Brysko! This guy’s got tricks up his sleeve, and the best one? His furry pal can resurrect him! If you drop in battle, your loyal hound will swoop in to save the day. Brysko can also toss a deck of cards dealing a shockingly good amount of electric damage, and then there’s his nifty ability to levitate a whole group of enemies while sharing out the damage like a generous poker player at a card game.

Feeling extra daring? You can embrace your inner-risk-taker with his damage-over-time ability. Just remember, the higher the gamble, the crazier the outcome! Push too far, and you might just flip into your pet and have to scramble around collecting cores to revive your fallen hero. Talk about flipping the script!

And let’s not forget Brysko’s ultimate move, the Corecracker. This bad boy fires off all bullets in one go, turning your foes into confetti. And each kill? Well, that spawns a core to spread chaos to everyone else nearby. It’s the perfect recipe for a wild night out on Tau!

Remember, the Warframe Tau expansion is launching in December 2026, free for everyone. So if you’re itching for some interstellar hijinks, hop on Steam or the Digital Extremes launcher and get ready for the cosmic shake-up! Keep your eyes peeled for Devstream 199 on Friday, November 27 for all the juicy details. This is going to be one heck of a ride!
