Release Date: June 18th, 2024

Angelic allure graces the assembly in blissful song, hymns threefold of wartime armistice and abhorrent passion. Echo the Naga Drums to  Tenno heartbeats, delivered thus to the  Orokin a coup d'état. Amidst the anthems of devastation, a solemn soul sings proud, her audience awestruck by oblivion's embrace. Blessed be the Lucent Virtuoso, Jade, whose glorious choir casts forth a crescendo of emerald blaze. Before heavenly ascent, thou shall behold one final glimpse: sublime plumes unfurl to seraphic wings most divine. Jade descended from the heavens in Update 36.0 (2024-06-18).

Each component blueprint requires 150 and the main blueprint requires 450, totaling 900 Vestigial Mote.

Notes

Trivia

• Jade is the 57th unique Warframe to be released.
• In the Pax East 2024 live audience Devstream 178, Jade's update teaser splash art was revealed with the Stalker's Landing Craft looming in the background. In Devstream 179, Jade's concept art, theme, signature weapons, and alt helmet were shown. In Devstream 180 her full gameplay reveal was demonstrated by a prerecording from [DE]Pablo.
  • Notably, considerable effort was done to hide her pregnancy prior to her introduction to the game: Teaser art either featured her from behind or in one case, with  Harmony obscuring her stomach, while gameplay footage and animations never showed her from up front.
• Jade takes several inspirations from Angels from Abrahamic religions. Most notable in the numerous sets of wings she has and her link to choral music.
• She is the first Warframe whose name starts with the letter 'J'. At the time of her announcement, there was 1 remaining letter in the English Alphabet 'U', that did not have an associated Warframe.
• She is the next female Warframe in line after  Trinity,  Equinox,  Wisp,  Yareli,  Gyre, and  Dagath to wear a skirt or dress with cloth physics.
• Jade is also the name  Nyx originally went by during development.
• She is the first Warframe to have two Aura mod slots as her unique passive.
• She is the second Warframe to have three Signature Weapons after  Gara.
• She is the third Warframe after  Protea and  Dante with a built-in universal Aura polarity.
• She is the third Warframe after  Titania and  Hildryn to use a flight-based fourth ability associated with an Exalted Weapon.
• She is the eleventh Warframe after  Limbo,  Hildryn,  Wisp,  Titania Prime,  Protea,  Xaku,  Sevagoth,  Gyre,  Qorvex, and  Dante with a unique dodge roll animation, where Jade dashes with her arms outstretched, or twirls during sidesprings, along with the wings on her torso spreading.
• Jade's weapons are parallel to the Stalker's:  Dread vs.  Evensong bow,  Despair vs.  Cantare throwing knives, and  Hate vs.  Harmony scythe.
• Jade's component blueprints were accidentally included in Dagath's Hollow in the Clan Dojo upon the initial release of the Jade Shadows update. The blueprints were subsequently removed on Hotfix 36.0.1 (2024-06-19), and all players who bought copies of Jade's component blueprints this way were allowed to keep them.
  • This unintentional feature ends up showcasing parallels between the two Warframes, as Jade and  Dagath were both in relationships forbidden in Orokin society prior to their conversion to Warframes, though whereas Jade and Sorren's relationship was borne out of genuine love and led to Jade bearing a child, Dagath's relationship with Corphel & Irilia was only done to satisfy the couple's lust and ended with them dead after the couple failed to kill Dagath.
