Digital Extremes has just released the highly anticipated Plains of Eidolon update for Warframe. This is the first update for the acclaimed shooter to feature a Landscape, an open world area where you're free to explore as you see fit.

Plains of Eidolon brings kilometers of open areas with a day and night cycle which influences gameplay. At night, the Grineer retreat in fear of the colossal 10-story bosses that you must defeat with the help of some teammates.
