As a new Warframe with a devil theme, Uriel is set to shake up the game’s lineup and story when it officially comes to the game in December 2025. You should keep an eye on this full reveal because it has gothic imagery, Orokin-Sentient undertones, and the next big quest line called “the old peace” is coming up.
First Look: Design & Lore Vibes
During TennoCon 2025, it was formally announced that Uriel would be part of the next update, called The Old Peace. The frame has a remarkable devil-themed design, with black armor that seems like it has cracks that look like flames, a pointed tail, and hints of hellish style.
Lore-wise, Uriel is linked to a side narrative called the Devil’s Triad, which also includes two new proto-frames for Harrow and Wisp. These stories deal with the Albrecht Entrati arc and other Orokin mysteries.
Abilities: What We Know (So Far)
Because Uriel is newly revealed, only limited ability info has been shown — but what we’ve seen already suggests a unique, companion-focused, and mobility-rich kit.
Confirmed: First Ability — Flight & Demonic Companions
- Uriel’s first ability grants him true flight: he can fly around the arena, then the player can stop, aim, and fire — giving a stylized, aerial combat advantage.
- He’s accompanied by small demon companions — literal lies of demons (imps/demons on his shoulders) — which adds to his “devil frame” aesthetic, reinforcing the darker theme.
Teased / Unconfirmed: 3 More Abilities + Summons
- Uriel may have three additional abilities tied to his demon-companion summons.
- According to leaks and player-forum speculation, these abilities might involve transformative buffs: the demons could attach to Uriel’s back or tail, enhancing his combat capabilities — though none of these are officially confirmed yet.
Because of how early the reveal is, there’s no full ability breakdown yet — but the promise of flight, demon companions, and a dark, edgy aesthetic is enough to have many players hyped.
Release Date
Uriel is slated to release with the Old Peace update on December 10th, 2025. This update is described as a major story chapter bridging to the 2026 expansion.
Uriel could become one of the most popular frames in a long time because it has great looks, a lot of lore, and works well with big new content. We still don’t know all the details about the abilities, but it’s apparent that a diabolical, story-heavy, thematic frame will come out in late 2025.
