Jade Shadows: Constellations - Coming June 17, 2026

Devstream 196 Overview

Some of your choices from Jade Shadows are reflected in this update, Tenno.

Sirius & Orion

Devstream 196 Overview

Dueling rivals Sirius & Orion occupy the space of a single Warframe, jockeying for position to rain cosmic destruction upon foes. Two sons, one Warframe — each with their own unique set of Abilities that you can swap and use at will.

The name you chose in Jade Shadows will be the primary Warframe that you see when you first load into the game, as the first slot in the Arsenal, and as the Warframe you will occupy in Hubs. During Missions, you will be able to seamlessly swap between either Sirius or Orion, each of whom will follow along when not in use similar to Wukong’s clone. We will offer an in-game option to change which one appears as the primary Warframe, if you so desire.

Tapping an Ability will cast with the active Warframe, while holding an ability will cause you to swap to the other Warframe and use his Ability instead. See this Ability swapping in action here.

Please note that development is still ongoing for Sirius & Orion so what was shown on Devstream is still subject to change.

Abilities

Using Abilities will generate Constellation Stars, but only two stars of the same color can be generated in a row. See the Fourth Ability description below.

For reference, Sirius’ Abilities are mentioned first and Orion’s second.

Passive:

Swapping between Sirius & Orion grants 45% Ability Efficiency for the next 2 casts.

First Ability: Coronal Ejection / Gravitic Slash:

  • Hurl Sirius’ Jade Light infused Scythe, dealing Heat damage while collecting any pickups in its path.
  • Repel enemies with Orion’s sinister Scythe, dealing Slash damage while reducing shields and armor.

Second Ability: Jade Stars / Astral Shell:

  • Sirius conjures Jade Light motes that slowly regenerate over time. Attacking enemies launches the motes, dealing Heat damage.
  • Envelop Orion in an Astral Shell. Upon taking damage the shell becomes a decoy that draws fire until it’s destroyed.

Third Ability: Light’s Sanctuary / Event Horizon:

  • Sirius creates a well of light that heals and revives allies, while reducing incoming damage. The well slowly grows in size and power.
  • Orion forms a drifting black hole, trapping enemies within its gravity. Enemies killed within the black hole will empower it. Hitting the black hole with Gravitic Slash will redirect it away from Orion, and hitting it with Coronal Ejection will pull it towards Sirius.

Fourth Ability: Celestial Clash:

  • Sirius & Orion take to the skies in a cosmic duel. Each time they clash they create a shockwave that deals colossal collateral damage to enemies.
  • Attacks will expend Constellation Stars — the Stars you earn from casting Abilities (as described above). Match the star’s color to the Warframe’s color to deal increased damage and bonus Critical Chance.
  • Left-clicks are for Sirius attacks.
  • Right-clicks are for Orion attacks.
  • Dodging while the ability is active allows you to move and close in on enemies as you try to hit them with the force of the clash.

Sirius & Orion Gear

Accompanying Sirius & Orion are their signature Pride and Wrath Scythes, respectively.

We also showed three new Syandanas: Orion’s Swaddle, Sirius’ Swaddle, and Jade’s Victory, each craftable after completing the Quest.

New Railjack Missions

In Devstream 195, we talked about the new Railjack content available after the completion of Jade Shadows: Constellations. This time the team shared some highlights of these Missions and their intentions.

As Warframe Creative Director Rebecca Ford explained, they are meant to be more story-driven and multiplayer-friendly than previous Railjack content. As a result, players are not piloting their own Railjacks, but rather those of Ryoku or Vena as they engage in combat with the other.

Hear her explain the intention behind these missions here.

The team also revealed that outside of these post-quest Missions, we are also hoping to bring Steel Path to Railjack!

New Signas

Two new Signas modeled after Ryoku and Vena await Tenno who are able to find them!

New Operator/Drifter Hairstyles

Ryoku and Vena both have eye-catching hairstyles which will be available for use with your Operator/Drifter. Catch a preview of them here.

New Incarnon Weapons

On stream we showcased two weapons getting the Incarnon treatment as part of Jade Shadows: Constellations.

  • Vectis Incarnon: Transforms by pressing alt-fire while not aiming. Launches small spheres that deal damage over time. Landing headshots will cause an explosion for area of effect damage. See the Vectis Incarnon in action!
  • Stug Incarnon: Keep stacking spheres on a target in Incarnon form to cause several bouncy spheres to travel away from the target and deal radial area of effect damage with their bounce. See the Stug Incarnon in action!

New Arcanes

Devstream 196 Overview

We showed off two upcoming Arcanes: Arcane Sculptor and Primary Compression.
