Warframe's co-operative space combat Empyrean update is finally out on Switch

Following its highly anticipated release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC late last year, Warframe's Empyrean update, which brings deep space combat to the free-to-play sci-fi hit, is now finally available on Switch.

First unveiled under the name Project Railjack during TennoCon 2019, Empyrean is primarily a co-operative experience, casting teams of four (each assigned the role of tactical, piloting, gunnery, or engineering) out among the stars for some spirited space skirmishes.

Missions task players with completing various objectives - from eliminating foes to obliterating asteroids - and it's even possible to board enemy ships to bring down opponents from within. With each success, individual roles can be levelled up, and Railjacks can be upgraded with functional improvements (affecting weapons, armour, and power) or cosmetic enhancements.
