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-era Techrot virus in the neon-drenched city of Höllvania.
A prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," launches in August 2024, reuniting players with a beloved character and setting the stage for the main event. This prologue introduces Sevatgoth Prime and exclusive weaponry, and completing it is essential to access Warframe: 1999 in Winter 2024.
Explore Höllvania on Atomicyles, futuristic vehicles enabling bullet jumps, drifts, and explosive maneuvers. Lead a team of six heroes – the Hex – each wielding a Protoframe Warframe showcasing their human form. The stellar voice cast includes Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Interact with the characters through a 1999-themed instant messaging system.
Prepare to face a 90s boy band, On-lyne, infected by Technocyte Coda and led by Zeke (voiced by Nick Apostolides). Their infectious music, including the hit single "Party of Your Lifetime," is available on streaming services.
Fashion takes center stage with enhanced customization. Dual fashion frame loadouts and Gemini Skins allow players to bring Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi into the Origin system, complete with fully voiced lines.
Beyond the core gameplay, Digital Extremes partners with THE LINE to produce an anime short based on Warframe: 1999, launching later this year. High-fidelity Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (early 2025) add further stylistic options.
With Warframe: 1999's Winter 2024 release, now's the perfect time to jump into the action. Download Warframe from the App Store today!
