Get ready to chase shadows and splatter ink. Warframe is about to introduce its first fully achromatic Warframe and the 64th addition to the roster, Follie, billed as “the merry, macabre Shadowgrapher,” who “brings ink to life.” Arriving as part of the game’s Shadowgrapher update, Follie brings chaotic new abilities that let you manipulate the battlefield in creative ways. This eerie, sad-clown-inspired Warframe will let you slow enemies, generate Health and Energy Orbs, summon Shadowgraph copies like Explosive Barrels and Arc Traps, and even spawn a defensive ink clone.
Alongside Follie, the upcoming Warframe update will also include a themed game mode called Follie’s Hunt, customizable Shadowgraph Paintings, and plenty of ways to paint the battlefield with her inky mayhem. So, when can you jump in and try her out? Here’s when Follie will release in Warframe and a look at all her abilities.
Warframe: Follie Release Date and Abilities Explained
Follie, Warframe’s 64th addition, will officially arrive on March 25, 2026, as part of the Shadowgrapher update. She is set to bring a full set of unique abilities and a fresh game mode called Follie’s Hunt, where players will face asymmetric challenges in her ink-filled world. On release day, Follie will be available across all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
The update will also introduce new Shadowgraph mechanics, letting players summon objects, customize their own Shadowgraph Paintings, and experiment with creative combat strategies.
Follie will come with four chaotic abilities that will let her bring her inky chaos to every fight. First, Forced Perspective will let her “dive into” an inkblot pool, becoming temporarily invulnerable, soaking nearby enemies in ink, and clearing her own Status Effects. After surfacing at a chosen location, she will deal damage, stagger foes, and spread her passive ink in a radius.
Next, the Shadowgraph ability will open her sketchbook, allowing her to summon objects like Explosive Barrels, Arc Traps, and RPGs, and players will even be able to create custom Shadowgraph Paintings in the gear wheel. Her Self Portrait ability will create an ink clone of Follie that absorbs incoming damage while expanding an ink pool around it, coating enemies and enhancing her passive effects.
Finally, Plein Air will lift foes into ink-filled balloons, reducing their Armor and Shields, and drop them from above to deal scaling fall damage while spreading ink across the battlefield. As per Warframe’s official blog, the Shadowgrapher update will also include “the next mecha-inspired evolution of an inseparable odd couple: Gauss and Grendel,” along with Atragraph customizations that will “give your Mod collection a fresh coat of paint (so to speak).”
