Warframe Reveals Jade Shadows: Constellations With Dual Animated Shorts

Warframe loves a dramatic reveal, and this time Digital Extremes went all‑in. What was once the mysterious “Unannounced 2026 Update” has now been confirmed as Jade Shadows: Constellations, a full sequel to 2024’s Jade Shadows — and the announcement arrived with not one, but two animated shorts crafted with THE LINE and powered by ERRA’s blistering track “Crawl Backwards Out of Heaven.”

The shorts introduce two rivals from fractured future timelines: Orion and Sirius. Each version of the short centers on one of them, letting players see their conflict from both perspectives. The twist? These two aren’t just enemies — they’re the Stalker’s children, each shaped by different futures and different mentors.

In Constellations, players once again step into the Stalker’s shoes, but this time as a father caught between two possible destinies. Depending on the choices you made in the original Jade Shadows quest, you’ll have either Orion or Sirius by your side as their timelines collide in a high‑stakes confrontation.

Digital Extremes also confirmed that the update expands the universe with new Protoframes, new Railjack missions, and a deeper look into the Stalker’s legacy — but it’s the emotional weight of this family‑fractured storyline that’s already capturing the community’s imagination.
