TennoCon has once again brought excitement to Warframe fans with the unveiling of an extended gameplay demo for Warframe: 1999, the game’s upcoming major story update. Initially met with skepticism due to its CRT-era nostalgia theme, the demo proved to be a delightful surprise for fans.
In Warframe: 1999, players will be transported to an alternate version of the 20th century where they must track down Albrecht Entrati amidst a Techrot infestation. This unique setting allows players to explore a city filled with ’90s references, battle Techrot monsters, and even engage in the game’s first romance system with the Hex operatives.
The Hex operatives, led by Arthur Nightingale, offer players a new faction to interact with and romance. As players navigate the Techrot-infested city of Höllvania on high-tech motorcycles, they will uncover more about the origins of Warframes and face off against formidable foes like the mutated On-lyne boy band.
Additionally, Warframe: 1999 introduces new weapons, skins, and a new Warframe named Cyte-09, adding more depth and customization options for players. The update is set to release in Winter 2024, but players can look forward to a smaller update in August to bridge the gap between previous story chapters and the upcoming 1999 storyline.
Digital Extremes has truly embraced the late ’90s aesthetic with Warframe: 1999, offering players a nostalgic yet fresh gaming experience. With its unique setting, engaging gameplay, and new features, the update is sure to captivate Warframe fans and newcomers alike. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to dive into the world of Warframe: 1999.
