Warframe's TennoCon 2024: A Blast from the Past with Warframe: 1999
TennoCon 2024 was a resounding success, culminating in the exciting announcement of Warframe: 1999, a massive update set in a retro-futuristic 1999. Get ready for a wild ride through a Techrot-infested city teetering on the brink of a Y2K apocalypse!
But first, a prologue! The "Lotus Eaters" quest, launching in August 2024, reunites players with a beloved Warframe character and sets the stage for the main event. This prologue introduces Sevatgoth Prime and their unique weapons. Completing "Lotus Eaters" (and all preceding quests) is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999, slated for release in Winter 2024.
Warframe: 1999 plunges players into an alternate 1999, where the Y2K bug is a deadly virus. Explore the neon-drenched city of Höllvania, navigating its Techrot-corrupted landscape on the new Atomicyles—vehicles capable of bullet jumps, drifts, and even explosive maneuvers! Command a team of six unique characters, the Hex, each equipped with a Protoframe—a Warframe showcasing the human pilot within.
Meet Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), Quincy (the new CYTE-09 frame, also coming to the Origin System), and more, brought to life by a stellar cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Interact with them via instant messaging—a truly 1999 experience!
Prepare for a musical showdown against On-lyne, a 90s boy band corrupted by Technocyte Coda. Their infectious tunes, including the hit single "Party of Your Lifetime," are available on all major streaming platforms.
Fashion is key! Warframe: 1999 introduces dual fashion frame loadouts and Gemini Skins, allowing you to bring the Protoframes (like Arthur and Aoi) into the Origin System. These skins unlock fully voiced dialogue, adding another layer of immersion.
Beyond the core gameplay, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE animation studio on a 1999-themed anime short. Plus, new Heirloom skins for Ember (available now) and Rhino (coming early 2025) are ready to enhance your Warframe arsenal.
Get ready for Warframe: 1999 this Winter! Download Warframe now from the App Store and prepare for a nostalgic, action-packed adventure.
