Warframe players get their next proper look at Tau this week. Devstream #198 – Tau Part One airs on Friday, October 30th at 2 PM ET, and it’s the first of two streams dedicated to showing off what’s coming.

It’s also the first time the developers have taken the community back to Tau since TennoCon, so anyone who has been waiting for more after that reveal should finally get some answers. According to Digital Extremes, the team will walk viewers through the scope of Tau and what lies beyond it. With a second Tau showcase still to come, expect this first stream to set the stage rather than cover everything at once.

A reward for watching the whole stream

As usual for Warframe devstreams, there’s an incentive to stick around. Players who watch from start to finish will earn a Tauforged Archon Shard Grab Bag. Opening it gives one Tauforged Archon Shard in one of six colours:

  • Crimson
  • Amber
  • Azure
  • Topaz
  • Violet
  • Emerald

The colour is random, so there’s no way to pick which one you get. Since the reward is tied to watching the full broadcast, it’s worth tuning in on the official channel at twitch.tv/warframe rather than catching the highlights afterwards.

A double feature with Soulframe

Digital Extremes is also bringing back its double feature format for the day, with two streams back to back:

  • Warframe Devstream 198: 2 PM to 3 PM ET
  • Soulframe Devstream 18: 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM ET

That means the Warframe portion is planned to run for about an hour, followed by a short break before the studio switches over to its other project. Players who follow both games can make an afternoon of it, while those here only for Tau can drop off once the Warframe segment wraps up, after making sure the Grab Bag has been earned.

With a second Tau showcase already on the schedule, Friday’s stream is only the opening chapter of what Digital Extremes plans to share about Warframe’s next destination.
