Back in October, Digital Extremes launched their ambitious Plains of Eidolon update for Warframe. The update transformed Warframe into an open-world MMO in the vein of Destiny, enticing new players and giving veterans some much-needed room to breathe with greater expanses to explore.

However, when Matt explored the new area, he found it extremely hard going as a new player because he was able to meet enemies far above his level, ultimately leaving him frustrated rather than liberated by the update.

Digital Extremes are addressing the difficulty spike with the game’s next update - Shrine of the Eidolon.

Warframe's Plains of Eidolon expansion nearly doubled the game's peak player count when it released last autumn, but new players like Matt were finding it difficult to engage with the game, particularly due to the untiered high-level areas.
