Warframe: 1999 Unveiled at TennoCon 2024

Warframe's TennoCon 2024: A Blast from the Past with Warframe: 1999

TennoCon 2024 delivered a massive surprise: Warframe: 1999, a thrilling new update set in a retro-futuristic 1999. Prepare for a wild ride through a Techrot-infested city teetering on the brink of a Y2K apocalypse.

Get ready with an August 2024 prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," reuniting players with a beloved Warframe character. This quest, following "Whispers in the Walls," introduces the 1999 setting and the new Warframe, Sevatgoth Prime, and its exclusive weapons. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999, launching in Winter 2024.

Warframe: 1999 plunges players into an alternate 1999 where the Y2K bug is a deadly virus. Explore the neon-drenched city of Höllvania, battling Techrot using the new Atomicyles – vehicles capable of bullet jumps, drifts, and even explosive maneuvers. Command a team of six heroes, the Hex, each wielding a Protoframe, showcasing their human forms.

The Hex features iconic Warframes like Excalibur (Arthur), Mag (Aoi), and the brand-new CYTE-09 (Quincy), all brought to life by a stellar cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Interact with them via instant messaging for a truly authentic 1999 experience.

Prepare for a musical showdown against On-lyne, a 90s boy band corrupted by Technocyte Coda and voiced by Nick Apostolides. Their infectious hit single, "Party of Your Lifetime," is available on all major streaming platforms.

Fashion takes center stage with upgraded systems, allowing for two customizable loadouts and the introduction of Gemini Skins. These skins allow Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi to seamlessly transition into the Origin System, complete with fully voiced dialogue.

Beyond the core gameplay, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to produce an anime short based on Warframe: 1999, launching later this year. Additionally, high-fidelity Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (early 2025) are also on the way.

With Warframe: 1999's Winter 2024 release, now is the perfect time to jump into the action. Download Warframe today from the App Store!
