This is a definitive list of all Warframes that you can play in Warframe in order of release date.

At the moment there’s a total of 77 Warframe characters to choose from, 32 Primes and 45 non-Primes.

P.S. after you’ve checked out every Warframe there is, don’t forget to try out some promo codes for free stuff.

    Please, add Xaku (25 of August, the “Heart of Deimos” update)!

    hey! DE’s lore is flawless and perfect!

    its cool that sites have these SPECULATED or GUESS lists but until i hear it directly from DE themselves i cannot and will not get hopes up only to be let down. Plenty of lists similar have been published and been proven incorrect, So until the devs release it, it shall remain fan speculated no matter how much anyone tries to rationalize it. If its correct then whoopdie doo. but highly doubtful

      The “speculated” list is actually derived from a pattern that has been present in prime releases at least as far back as 2017.

      Nezha is next.

    disapointed… inaros? really? bring nezha already, it’s winter, cold as it gets, even colder without my nezha prime… hope it still gets here maybe on spring or even summer, but still in 2020 cause next winter is a year away
    PS: I’m just joking about using seasons that only apply to half of the world instead of months, that are global lol, but I am trully disapointed on inaros… such a boring frame…

    Maybe the nidus and these lore breaking “prime” frames will release as different name?
    Like “Excalibur umbra ” it just a name change .Or better they change the lore..I still excised for inaros prime look forward to play the sandtank XD

    Nidus Prime will mess with lore too but who cares? It’s Nidus!!

    This is a great resource, thank you for putting this together Dan πŸ™‚

    I did notice one thing, however, that needs to be corrected… Nova was actually released on July 13, 2013, in Update 9.0 … see the following post on the official forums:
    https://forums.warframe.com/topic/77575-update-9-vors-revenge/

    This jumped out at me because I started playing in January of 2014, just prior to the Cicero Crisis event on PlayStation 4. At that time on the console, Valkyr was the newest warframe that had been added — Nova definitely already existed, with her Molecular Prime that could clear whole maps with spectacular chain reactions in its original form πŸ™‚

    1. Dan Alder says:
      Jun 23, 2020 at 2:57 pm

      Thanks Knightfyre! I’ve gone ahead and corrected it. Much appreciated.

    I can’t wait to see all the new warframe to come

    Your comment is quite sad, Ava. Sadly, this is how life works. All of us die leaving behind experiences and dreams left untouched. Just try to make good use of the remainder of your days.

    2023 for Wisp… I’m definitely not sticking around. It’s kind of sad for some of us who are sick or have other issues. They should release these primes faster and not take old ones off the store either. It just is like … why play this, put effort into it. The things I love will be released when I might be gone.

    Wait did you say Harrow Prime? I’m crying. Not because i’m happy. Because that will mess up the lore sooo much!
