In Warframe, you will soon be able to catch animals on the open-world map of Venus. The developers have now revealed the first concept art of the creatures which you can view here.
Warframe gets a “Pokémon” feature: With the update Fortuna, there will be a new, large open-world map on Venus: Orb Vallis. Here, you will encounter animals that you can catch. They are endangered, as the Corpus faction exploits them for experiments. To save them, you must capture them and transport them to a safe location.
First Concept Art of the Animals Released
The animals seem to be diverse: The developers at Digital Extremes presented the first images of the animals. The creatures have adapted to the snowy landscape and cold of Venus. The images show that we can expect cute, small furry creatures and others that look more like mutated monsters.
Snow Critter – With a Cute Nose
This creature is a mix of marten, shrew, and anteater. It features fluffy fur, a bushy tail, and a long nose with bristly hairs on it.
Unnamed – A Rocky Armadillo?
In the upper right corner of the image, there is a description. This animal is said to have scaly, wooden-textured skin and pink fur on its belly. It appears to be able to curl up like a hedgehog or armadillo to protect itself.
Snow Predator – A Beaver with Dental Problems
This animal has the jaw and teeth of a beaver. The teeth have grown so long that they have broken through its head and continue to grow there. Predator means that it is a carnivore in the animal world. Its fur and stature resemble that of a seal, which is an adaptation to the cold. The Corpus have disrupted the ecosystem on Venus. The overgrown teeth could be a result of that.
Unnamed and without description
This creature appears almost mutated and seems to have a thick, armored skin.
New Info on the Lure: The “Echolure” Can Receive Upgrades
To catch animals, you must find and lure them: On Venus, you will find various traces of the animals such as droppings or footprints. You must track the scent and locate them. Once you find the animals, you need to lure them with a type of lure. The lure mimics the calls of the animals and is called “Echolure” in English.
Echolure can be modified: Digital Extremes revealed that you can equip the lures with upgrades. These are necessary to implement different calls of the animals. How and where players can obtain the mods is still unknown.
Base Tone Mimics a Moose: Digital Extremes is based in Canada, where moose are primarily found. The first tone of the lure is in honor of the developers’ homeland.
