Warframe's TennoCon 2024 delivered a massive surprise: Warframe: 1999! This ambitious 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's winter 2024 release. This prologue introduces Sevatgoth Prime and their unique weaponry. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" is a prerequisite for accessing Warframe: 1999.
Explore Höllvania on the new Atomicyles, agile vehicles enabling bullet jumps, drifts, and explosive maneuvers. Players command the Hex, a team of six heroes sporting Protoframes—Warframes revealing their human forms. The team includes Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), and Quincy (the new CYTE-09 frame, also coming to the Origin System).
A stellar voice cast, including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler, brings the Hex to life. Interact with them via in-game instant messaging for a truly authentic 1999 experience.
Confront the ultimate 90s antagonist: On-lyne, a Technocyte-infected boy band led by Zeke (voiced by Nick Apostolides). Their infectious music, including the hit single "Party of Your Lifetime," is available on major 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 dialogue.
Beyond the core gameplay, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to produce a 1999-themed anime short. High-fidelity Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (early 2025) are also on the way.
