The problem with most big on-going service games is that they eventually reach a critical mass where the up-front investment is too big for new players. Destiny 2 suffers with this, deleting old expansions and content such that there's no way for a new player to coherently follow the story without watching lore videos on YouTube. Warframe might just have a solution, by turning the past into the future with its upcoming update, which is functionally a stand alone expansion.
Warframe fans have been looking forward to The Duviri Paradox for a long time. First announced in 2019, four years ago, the excitement has only grown as each story update between then and now has added complication after complication to our understanding of what Duviri is. If you're someone who has never played Warframe or found it too intimidating to start, then Duviri is for you too. Creating an opening for new players has been at the forefront of creative director Rebecca Ford's mind as development on the update evolved. What can players expect? "You can imagine hearing about Warframe, doing a fresh install and then the Lotus will ask you, 'Do you wish to play with blade and gun or do you wish to experience the paradox?" Of course she'll tell you all paths will connect but the 'Void needs you now, where will you start?"
