Warframe's TennoCon 2024: A Blast from the Past with Warframe: 1999
TennoCon 2024 delivered a knockout punch with the announcement of Warframe: 1999, a massive update promising a nostalgic trip back to 1999. Get ready for a thrilling ride through a Y2K-threatened city overrun by Techrot.
The adventure begins with a prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," launching in August 2024. Reuniting players with a beloved Warframe character, this quest sets the stage for the main event, introducing Sevatgoth Prime and their unique weaponry. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999, slated for release in Winter 2024.
Warframe: 1999 plunges players into a retro-futuristic 1999, where a deadly Y2K virus threatens global annihilation. The setting: Höllvania, a vibrant 90s city corrupted by Techrot. Navigate this chaotic landscape using the new Atomicyles, versatile vehicles enabling bullet jumps, drifts, and explosive capabilities. Command a team of six heroes, the Hex, each equipped with a Protoframe, showcasing the human beneath the Warframe.
The Hex boasts a star-studded cast, including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Interact with them through the authentic 1999 medium of instant messaging, potentially leading to a romantic encounter.
Prepare to face a truly 90s antagonist: On-lyne, a five-member boy band corrupted by Technocyte Coda. Their infectiously catchy music, including the hit single "Party of Your Lifetime," is available on major streaming platforms.
Fashion takes center stage with significant upgrades to the fashion system. Players can equip two fashion frame loadouts and utilize the new Gemini Skins, bringing Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi into the Origin system. These skins unlock fully voiced lines, enriching the gameplay experience.
Beyond Warframe: 1999, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to create an anime short, launching later this year. Additionally, high-fidelity Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (early 2025) are on the horizon.
With Warframe: 1999's winter 2024 launch, there's plenty to anticipate. Download Warframe now from the App Store and prepare for the ultimate retro-futuristic adventure!
