The Great Swordsman is also one of the three starter Warframes, which is why a lot of newer players already use him pretty early on. The Chinese server even got a special release with the Excalibur Umbra Prime. Nowadays you are not able to get your hands on Excalibur Prime, because he was only obtainable by purchasing the Founder Package back in the day.įor a long time you were only able to play with his normal version, even though he was one of the original Warframes released.Īnd while Digital Extremes said multiple times that they will never ever release Excalibur Prime (as a special ‘gift’ to people that purchased the Founder Package), they added Excalibur Umbra with the quest line ‘The Sacrifice’.
For multiple reasons he does have a very special role for Warframe and Digital Extremes, beginning with his primed version. One of the oldest and most beloved Warframes in the game is Excalibur.
