In the new developer stream for Warframe, Digital Extremes showed game scenes from the upcoming Operation Scarlet Spear. The team probably still wants that release in the coming week.
This commitment is not unlike that Battle for Endor from Star Warsin which a troop fights a battle in space until the ground team fulfills an important mission goal.
This is how Operation Scarlet Spear works
The peculiarity of this operation is that you do not start with just one squad of four players, as usual, but two teams work together in different missions. Digital Extremes has now explained in detail how this will work.
The ground force: The team on the planet's surface will face a Condrix. This is a new boss opponent of the Sentient, who goes into battle with his subordinates. To defeat him you have to destroy his core. If the opponent is lying, the task force scans the remains and sends some codes to the team in the Railjack in space.
Railjack team: The second squad has a more passive role. They simply have to defend an oplink against attacking Sentient fighters in time, but they cannot advance the mission themselves. As soon as they receive the codes, the target is considered to be fulfilled.
The mission type is endless and can be repeated again and again to get more points and therefore better rewards.

Tennocon 2020 will only take place digitally
Like so many fairs this year, the Tennocon will not take place regularly, but instead only digital via stream
That is why the entire development team is currently working from home and there will be no further streams in the coming weeks. This change may continue Delays in the release of Operation Scarlet Spear to lead.
In the stream, the team gave more information about the future of the co-op shooter. So will be the next Prime Warframe Titania, which will appear along with the improved versions of the Pangolin sword and the Corinth. Work continues on the fifth intrinsic and the modular archwings are also making progress.
