Order Of The Releases Of Prime Warframes

[Aktriaz]

Since Nyx has basically been confirmed, I've started wondering who the next primes are going to be.

 

The primes are released by gender increments of 2, male male, female female, etc etc, you already know that.

It also seems they are going to be in order of release of the originals, or at least similar.

 

Almost of the closed beta warframe's have been done, except Nyx, Trinity, Ash and Volt, so it's safe to assume that after Nyx, Trinity will be primed.

 

After Trinity, Ash and Volt will be the next male primes.

 

And with that, all the closed beta warframes have been done, the others can be done as well.

 

After this point it may change from the 2 by 2s, with an actual order of release dates to go by. I will still go by the 2-2 rule, as it's not that likely to change.

 

Banshee and Saryn were added in the same update, U7, so they would be next.

 

After that, Vauban and Nekros.

 

Nova and Valkyr would be primed next, but lore may restrict these two, but nothing's confirmed.

 

Then Oberon and Hydroid would be next on the list.

 

And lastly, Mirage and Zephyr are the last ones as of right now.

 

If you see anything wrong with how I'm sorting these, point it out.

[Imaru]

I see no flaw in your logic beyond the one you pointed out about Nova and Valkyr. 

 

That said, Mynki (is that how his name is spelled?) said that primes come out when he and the design team decide to work on them. 

[GinKenshin]

I don't think the dev prime warframes because they came first or anything, if they had a good idea about a prime variant of a warframe, they draw it, discuss where's the faults and how to make it better...etc
so what I'm saying that it might not be the timeline or in what order they release a prime warframe, it might be random

Trinity. I remember hearing about primes being discontinued after a certain point.

And that was debunked by Rebecca.

Rebecca said at one point that there had never been a statement that warframes that came out after vauban would not get primes but the older frames would get priority.

I may be incorrect on this, but I thought the Lore for Valkyr and Nova stated that they were created within Warframe's current ongoing timeline. Valkyr was created during the Zanuka Project and Nova was developed by the Tenno Council during the game's time. If you factor that lore into making Primes, wouldn't it not make sense that the Orokin already had these frames during the Old War considering they were first developed during the current struggle we are engaged in?

 

EDIT: And if my above point is right, then it would lend justification to the mention that not all Warframes would be Primed

The frames may not be primed per say but it is safe to assume there will be a special version of them, Nova dex for example. This will likely be years down the line though.

Vandal, Wraith, or Dex versions of Frames is always a possibility, that's true.

this has been said as not true, i think.

It's a maybe on both of those. If DE really wanted to they could work the lore to give them primes, but I'd personally rather they didn't.

 

For Valkyr, the Orokin-era version of her may be an entirely different frame. Nova is...something. Who knows.

Rebecca already confirmed that no frames are exempt from prime variants. None, not even Nova or Valkyr. 

[Zachles]

I heard they would not Prime Warframes from Vauban onward. So, if Nyx Prime is up next (please be soon, I want to buy her omg), then we have Ash, Banshee, Saryn, Trinity, and Volt. I don't think I'm missing any, so I think there's five left after her. It seems they release them about three or four months apart from each other, so they'll all eventually be released in about a year and a half, two years I think.

 

(Keep in mind that as far as I know, this is all hear say. I don't know if the thing about Warframes from Vauban and after not being Primed is true or not, so...)

It is an old rumour that Rebecca confirmed was false.

^I'm going to assume you refer to this quote.

 

I wasn't saying it was impossible for them to be primed, I was only giving a reason of why they might not be. Conversely, just because they aren't on the "No-Prime" list, does not mean they are confirmed to get primes. "Eligible" does not mean "Definite".

 

Rebecca said that post Vauban frames are eligible, but every frame other than Valkyr and Nova have origins to be traced to the Old War.

Actually in a livestream they mentioned Valkyr used to be nicer. So Whatever Valkyr USED to be would be the prime.

Nope, it was a false rumour that was put to rest by Rebecca.

Ah, if they said that then Valkyr might be more likely to be primed than I figured. I was just trying to go off of the lore I knew about her.

While that is true, there's nothing stopping a frame from incorporating original Orokin technology into a frame built on replicated components. The Seer handgun is proof of concept that Orokin technology can be integrated into anything.

The Seer and the Fusion MOAs aren't prime, they're just salvaged Orokin tech combined with modern stuff. Primes are the 100% Orokin made gear.

Oh, yeah, Flamingfighter posted the image with Rebecca saying that. I completely forgot that someone had shown me that before.

 

Yeah, knowing that, guess it's pretty much fair game, but I'd wager that older Warframes have higher priority over others. I'd imagine that stopping Primes at a certain point might be bad for business, too. I mean, there's always someone who will buy the Prime Access packs (like me). Besides, it is kind of like Warframes staple thing, I guess.

[Arlayn]

Well its more like Alad V. found some warframe, mutilated it, and through all the horrific torture the violent tortured soul Valkyr was born. So it might not be called Valkyr Prime, or it might be who knows.

How do we know Grineer aren't just lazy, and replaced certain designs on the gun with grineer substitutes. Like maybe some parts are not supposed to be there, and maybe its supposed to be smaller?

[Meatuchu]

The next Prime is gonna be Trinity.

To extend upon this, Steve said that frame prior to vauban are the priority to be primed. Not that frames after that are not going to. That would make things too limited in the long run.
