Warframe: 1999 Unveiled at TennoCon 2024

Warframe's TennoCon 2024 delivered a blockbuster announcement: Warframe: 1999! This massive update plunges players into a retro-futuristic 1999, battling a Y2K-themed Techrot virus in the neon-drenched city of Höllvania.

A prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," arrives in August 2024, reuniting players with a beloved character and setting the stage for the main event, launching Winter 2024. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999. This prologue also introduces Sevatgoth Prime and exclusive weaponry.

Explore Höllvania on Atomicyles, futuristic vehicles offering bullet jumps, drifts, and explosive capabilities. Lead a team of six unique characters – the Hex – each sporting a Protoframe, a Warframe showcasing the human pilot. The team features familiar Warframes like Excalibur and Mag, alongside the new CYTE-09.

The voice cast boasts notable talent, including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Engage in 1999-style instant messaging to deepen your connection with these characters. Prepare to face a formidable foe: On-lyne, a 90s boy band infected by Technocyte Coda, whose infectious music is available on streaming platforms.

Fashion takes center stage with upgraded systems allowing two simultaneous frame loadouts. The Gemini Skins introduce the ability to bring Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi 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. Additionally, new Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (early 2025) are on the way.

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