Warframe Reveals the TennoCon 2026 Dojo Showcase Winners Ahead of July’s Star Chart Takeover

Warframe has unveiled the winning Clan Dojos selected for the TennoCon 2026 Dojo Showcase, recognising the community’s most ambitious decorating projects from the past two years.

The annual showcase is one of TennoCon’s most distinctive community features, putting the spotlight on player-built social spaces rather than new Warframes, weapons or story reveals. This year’s selections range from large-scale structures and immersive environments to video game-inspired rooms and practical clan hangout spaces built to feel lived in rather than merely displayed.

More than 75 submissions were considered across three different Warframe builds, including contributions from the Chinese Steam and Chinese WeGame communities. Digital Extremes says the final judging process prioritised creativity, uniqueness and overall build quality.

The selected Dojos will be rolled out across the in-game Star Chart from July through September, giving players a chance to visit some of the most elaborate Clan creations in Warframe.

First-place Dojos will take centre stage at TennoCon 2026

The first-place winners will receive the largest visibility window of the showcase season.

Their Dojos will be featured during the live TennoCon broadcast, included in the TennoCon Community Art Showcase and made available to visit through the Star Chart in July. That means the wider Warframe community will be able to explore these builds directly in-game rather than only seeing them through screenshots or showcase videos.

The first-place Dojos are:

• Qian.Kun
• The Unfettered Wanderers
• SkyCity
• Rose Angel
• Dagat
• Slayers Of Darkness

The selection reflects the breadth of the current Dojo decorating scene. Warframe’s player housing tools have steadily expanded with new decorations, lighting options, themed rooms, NPCs and environmental pieces, allowing Clan architects to create spaces that look far beyond the game’s standard Orbiter and Relay environments.

For many players, a Dojo is primarily a research hub, trading location or gathering space. These showcase winners represent the other side of the system: Dojos as large-scale creative projects built around atmosphere, visual storytelling and communal identity.

Second and third place winners will arrive later on the Star Chart

The Dojo Showcase will continue after TennoCon rather than ending with the July broadcast.

Second-place Dojos will become available through the Star Chart in August, while third-place entries will follow in September. That staggered schedule gives each tier a dedicated month in the spotlight and ensures that players have time to visit the selected Clans before the next rotation begins.

The second-place winners are:

• Apollonian
• Dojo Prime
• 5pectrum
• Annora
• Seraphim Armada
• 暗影星云
• 星回之时

The third-place winners are:

• Syndicate Synergy
• Riven Police
• Acton
• Artisans Forge
• Fortress of Lua
• SOX

All participating Clans will receive a trophy in recognition of their submission, while the winning Clans will also receive placement-specific trophies and resource rewards.

TennoCon’s Dojo competition rewards craftsmanship, not just scale

One of the more interesting aspects of the TennoCon 2026 Dojo Showcase is that Digital Extremes did not judge entries solely on spectacle.

Large structures can make an immediate impression, but the selection criteria also emphasised originality, detail and immersion. The goal was not to reward the Clan with the highest decoration count or the biggest room, but the Dojos that used the available tools with the clearest sense of intent.

That distinction matters because Warframe Dojo decorating has become its own specialist discipline. Builders need to think about composition, lighting, navigation, visual hierarchy and theme cohesion while working within the game’s object placement systems and resource constraints.

A successful Dojo needs more than a recognisable reference or a towering centerpiece. It needs to feel deliberate when players move through it.

The showcase’s focus on clan-oriented spaces is particularly notable. Some of the featured builds are clearly designed as social environments, giving members somewhere to meet, explore or simply spend time between missions. That is an important part of what separates a decorated room from a real Clan home.

Chinese Steam and WeGame decorators join the TennoCon showcase

This year’s event also includes decorators from the Chinese Steam and Chinese WeGame versions of Warframe.

That broader representation helps make the TennoCon Showcase feel more global, especially because Clan decoration has always been a heavily community-driven part of the game. Different groups often develop their own visual languages, favourite building techniques and design priorities, so bringing more Warframe builds into the same competition creates a more varied final selection.

The appearance of Chinese winners in the second- and third-place groups is one of the clearest signs of that expanded participation.

It also reinforces the idea that TennoCon is not only a place for major reveals. It remains an opportunity for Digital Extremes to highlight the work players are doing inside the game every day, including the parts of Warframe that do not fit neatly into a patch-note bullet point.

How to visit the selected Dojos

Players will be able to visit the featured Clan Dojos through Warframe’s Star Chart during their assigned showcase month.

First-place winners will be available in July, second-place Dojos in August and third-place selections in September. These locations will be open for the wider community to explore, providing a rare opportunity to walk through high-level decorating projects without needing to join the featured Clans.

That accessibility is a major part of the reward. The showcase does not keep the winning work behind private Clan doors; it turns it into a temporary community destination.

For decorators, it is also a useful source of inspiration. The selected Dojos offer a look at how experienced builders use the game’s tools to create architecture, themed spaces, environmental storytelling and social hubs that feel distinct from ordinary Clan layouts.

A celebration of Warframe’s most creative Clan spaces

The TennoCon 2026 Dojo Showcase is a reminder that Warframe’s community creativity extends well beyond Fashion Frame, Captura scenes and fan art.

For some players, the endgame is mastering difficult content. For others, it is collecting gear, optimising builds or trading rare items. For the architects recognised here, it is transforming a Clan Dojo into something worth visiting for its own sake.

With first-place Dojos set to appear during TennoCon and on the Star Chart in July, the next few months will give Tenno plenty of reasons to step away from the battlefield and explore what their fellow players have built.
