The Warframe Shrine of The Eidolon update, which dropped in February for the PC edition of the game, adds new content to the Plains of Eidolon expansion.

Warframe Shrine Of The Eidolon Update
GANTULYST
Legends say the Gantulyst wields an enormous boulder for an arm and radiates powerful beams of Sentient energy. The Ostrons built a shrine in its honor hoping to gain its favor.
HYDROLYST
The Ostrons believe the Hydrolyst is an omen of impending natural disaster. Stories describe a distinct, pungent aroma that precedes the arrival of this toxic beast.
RIVEN TRANSMUTATION
If you’re worthy, you’ll receive a guaranteed Riven Transmuter from the Hydrolyst. This consumable item can transmute four Riven Mods into a brand-new Riven. Combining four Rivens of the same type (i.e Rifle, Melee, Shotgun, etc.) will result in a transmuted Riven of that type.
DRIVE THE DARGYN
Take your fight to the skies by hijacking any Dargyn in the Plains. Use these to aid in your search for the new Eidolons.
WARFRAME POWER & WEAPON CHANGES
In case you missed it – we’re doing some Warframe and Weapon rebalancing! Check out our Dev Workshop to get a deep dive into what we’ve changed and why for Warframes like Ember, Atlas, Zephyr and more!
Expect the update to arrive on March 6th and you can get a look at it via the official trailer below:

California Judge Dismisses Gamers Lawsuit Filed Against Microsoft


A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that the group of 10 plaintiffs “[lacked] allegations” in their lawsuit filed last year that claimed Microsoft’s ownerships of Activision Blizzard would harm consumers and competition in the video games market, according to a filing shared by Reuters.
While US District Judge Jacqueline Corley dismissed the case, she also gave the plaintiffs 20 days to refine their lawsuit and resubmit it, and the group’s lawyer, Joseph Saveri, said that there are plans to officially submit an amended lawsuit with “additional factual detail” that will address the judge’s concerns.
It marks a victory for Microsoft, but their battles are far from over as they still face a hearing over the Federal Trade Commission’s legal complaint, which is currently slated to take place in August of this year.
Microsoft and Activision Blizzard originally expected the transaction to be complete by June 30, 2023.
