Warframe's Koumei & the Five Fates Update: Release Date, New Warframe, Mission Type, and More

Warframe is getting a major update on October 2nd, introducing the 58th Warframe, Koumei, a dice-maiden with abilities that revolve around RNG mechanics. The update will also include a new mission type called Shrine Defence, several QoL improvements, and a rework for Caliban.

Warframe's latest character, Koumei, is a powerful fighter who comes with abilities inspired by RNG mechanics. There is an element of unpredictability as her skills revolve around a six-sided dice. You'll be able to deploy traps, predict the future for buffs, and summon protective charms that can randomly convert damage into extra health or shields. Her ultimate ability, Bunraku, allows you to take control of enemies and manipulate their status like puppets.

The Koumei & the Five Fates update will also introduce a new mission type called Shrine Defence. In this mission, you'll fend off invaders, gather shrine offerings, and face a new mini-boss called the Infested Oni. Completing this mission will give you the chance to gather crafting parts for Koumei and unlock her two signature weapons, a gunbrella called Higasa and a polearm named Amanata.
