A direct reference for Tau's officially revealed first city, faction, antagonist, and card game.
Fornax is the first officially revealed destination in Warframe: Tau: a decaying Sentient orbital ring city controlled by crime, sickness, and a corrupting substance called Bloom. Black rain affects the city, and Digital Extremes warns that it can change the danger players face.
Four confirmed pieces
| Name | Official role |
|---|---|
| Fornax | Ring city in the Tau System and the first revealed playable setting |
| Drowners | New Sentient-derived enemy faction made up of enforcers and hired muscle |
| Hunra | Crime boss who controls Fornax's rackets through violence, fear, and Bloom |
| Portau | Warframe's first original card game, using Blooms, Cores, Moons, and Suns |
The reveal establishes these roles but does not publish a city map, reward table, Portau rules reference, farming route, or boss solution. Those should not be inferred from a cinematic or demo.
For timing and platform status, use the Tau release page. For the new Warframe, use the Brysko reference.
