Warframe: 1999 Announces Techrot Encore Release Date, Adds New Content and Characters

The excitement among Warframe fans is palpable as the 1999 expansion gears up for its next big update, Techrot Encore, set to launch on March 19th. This update promises to immerse players in a turn-of-the-millennium setting, complete with the series' signature action-packed gameplay. A highlight of Techrot Encore is the return of the ARG band as formidable boss battles, adding a unique twist to the combat experience.

Techrot Encore introduces four new Protoframes to the roster: Flare, Minerva, Kaya, and Velimir II, each bringing their own flair to the battlefield. Additionally, the 60th Warframe, Temple, makes a grand entrance, equipped with Techrot Subwoofer minions and a sapient guitar named Lizzie, ready to shake the foundations of the game world.

For seasoned players, the update doesn't skimp on challenges. Two new endgame stages are introduced: Stage Defense, where players protect Scaldra during a memorial show for fallen comrades, and Temporal Archimedea, a dynamic mission series where players, alongside Minerva and Velimir II, tackle three consecutive missions with varying modifiers through the Peely Pix system.

In a touching tribute, Digital Extremes honors a Make-A-Wish commitment from James Conlin with the addition of the Atomicycle racing mini-game at the Höllvania Mall Hub's arcade collection, Ollie's Crash Course. This addition not only enriches the game's content but also celebrates community and compassion.

With the anticipation building towards Tennocon 2025 and the relaunch of an upgraded Warframe Companion App open beta, March is shaping up to be an exhilarating time for Warframe enthusiasts. The Techrot Encore update, with its new Protoframes, the 60th Warframe, challenging endgame stages, and a heartwarming mini-game, offers plenty of reasons to dive back into the action.
