Warframe: 1999 Unveiled at TennoCon 2024

Warframe's TennoCon 2024 delivered explosive news: Warframe: 1999 is on the horizon! This massive update plunges players into a retro-futuristic 1999, battling a Y2K-fueled Techrot virus in the neon-drenched city of Höllvania.

A prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," arrives in August 2024, reintroducing a beloved Warframe character and setting the stage for the main event. This prologue unlocks access to Sevatgoth Prime and exclusive weaponry, and completing it (along with all preceding story content) is mandatory before diving into the 1999 storyline, slated for Winter 2024.

Explore Höllvania on Atomicyles, futuristic vehicles capable of bullet jumps, drifts, and explosive maneuvers. Lead a team of six unique Warframes – the Hex – each sporting Protoframes showcasing their human forms. Meet Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), Quincy (CYTE-09), and more, voiced by a star-studded cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Interact with them via 1999-style instant messaging!

Prepare for a musical showdown against On-lyne, a 90s boy band infected by Technocyte Coda, whose catchy tunes are available on streaming services. Their hit single, "Party of Your Lifetime," is already a must-listen.

Fashion is king in Warframe: 1999. Dual fashion frame loadouts let you switch styles mid-battle, while the new Gemini Skins allow you to bring Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi into the Origin system, complete with fully-voiced dialogue.

Beyond the core gameplay, Digital Extremes is partnering with THE LINE to create an anime short film tied to Warframe: 1999, launching later this year. Plus, snazzy Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (early 2025) are on the way. Get ready for a blast from the past – and the future! Download Warframe now from the App Store and prepare for the 1999 adventure.
