As the seasons change, so does the Origin System. And this October is no exception, with plenty of seasonal, returning, and brand new additions to occupy you as we draw ever closer to Warframe: Tau later this year.
Watch for the following events this month:
EPOCH OPERATION: TAUBOUND
October 15 - November 17
A unique event unlike anything you've experienced to date, Epoch Operation: Taubound offers all eligible Tenno the chance to become a part of Warframe history. If you want to help open up a path to the Tau System, be sure to have your account ready by completing the "Vor's Prize" Quest before October 15.
Players looking to pilot their Vessel for the first time can also complete The Hex and The Old Peace in order to access a new, permanent Prologue Quest setting up the Road to Tau.

NIGHTS OF NABERUS
October 1 @ 11 a.m. ET - November 2 @ 11 a.m. ET
Spooky season returns to the Origin System during our annual Halloween-inspired event, with Daughter releasing her inventory of new and returning seasonal Customizations in exchange for Mother Tokens. While Baro Ki'Teer will mark the occasion in the same unsettling fashion as last year (IYKYK), we're also mixing it up by bringing back the Hallowed Nightmares Tactical Alert, allowing you to face off against the fearsome Jack O'Naut for even more Naberus treats.
For all the harrowing details, check out our Halloween 2026 Events post.
NEW GAME MODE: THE ICEBIND
October 7
Originally intended to ship alongside Iceblade of Narin as "Glacial Defiance," our new 6-player game mode was ultimately delayed to allow for additional development time and renamed to The Icebind. Accessible in-game starting October 7, these challenging, high-level Missions can be played up to three times weekly, allowing you to put your teamwork (and Loadouts) to the test for valuable Rewards.
Visit the official Warframe Forums to learn more about the delay, and further details of the game mode itself.
PRINCESS MARGARET CANCER FOUNDATION QUEST
October 1 - October 31
PMCF Quest (formerly Quest to Conquer Cancer) returns for another October full of special Community streams, donation incentives and Conquera Customizations. Join us all month long and help support The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation light the way towards a world free from the fear of cancer.
