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 one of the franchise's most exciting additions yet. Get ready for a trip back to an alternate 1999, where the Y2K bug isn't a software glitch, but a deadly virus threatening global annihilation.

Kicking things off is a prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," arriving in August 2024. Reuniting players with a beloved Warframe character, this quest sets the stage for the main event and introduces Sevatgoth Prime and their unique weaponry. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" (and all preceding story content) is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999, slated for release in Winter 2024.

Warframe: 1999 plunges players into the Techrot-infested city of Höllvania. Navigate this 90s-inspired urban landscape using the new Atomicyles – agile vehicles enabling bullet jumps, drifts, and even explosive maneuvers. Leading the charge is the Hex, a team of six heroes sporting Protoframes, Warframes showcasing their human forms. Meet Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), Quincy (the new CYTE-09), and more, brought to life by a stellar cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler.

Engage in 1990s-style instant messaging to get to know the Hex, and maybe even score a New Year's kiss! But beware the ultimate 90s villain: On-lyne, a boy band infected by Technocyte Coda and led by the devilishly charming Zeke (voiced by Nick Apostolides). Their infectious music is available now on all major streaming services!

Fashion is key in Warframe: 1999. Dual fashion frame loadouts and the introduction of Gemini Skins allow you to bring the Protoframes, like Arthur and Aoi, to the Origin System. These skins unlock fully-voiced dialogue, adding even more depth to the already impressive voice acting.

Beyond the main event, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to produce an anime short film based on Warframe: 1999, launching later this year. Additionally, new Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (coming early 2025) are ready to enhance your Warframe arsenal.

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