Warframe, the beloved third-person hack 'n slash shooter, is now open for Android pre-registration, signaling a new era for developer Digital Extremes as they bring their hit game to a fresh mobile audience. Alongside this exciting news, the latest devstream unveiled a plethora of updates and features coming to the game.
Among the highlights is Warframe: 1999, an ambitious new expansion that promises to be a significant departure from the game's established universe. This expansion will feature an anime short produced in collaboration with studio The Line and will further develop the ongoing Alternate Reality Game (ARG) involving the fictional boy band On-Lyne, meticulously cataloged by Digital Extremes themselves.
Warframe: 1999 will introduce several new elements, including the innovative Faceoff PvPvE multiplayer mode, the return of acclaimed voice actor Neil Newborn from Baldur's Gate 3, and new romantic storylines among the members of the Hex. Additionally, players will be introduced to the 59th warframe, Cyte-09, adding another layer of depth to the game.
Warframe's mobile release is not just about 1999; it's an opportunity for new players to dive into years of existing content, making it one of the most comprehensive and feature-rich games available on mobile devices. 1999 itself is set to be a standalone prequel, expanding the Warframe universe in a major way.
The buzz around Warframe: 1999 was further amplified by Digital Extremes' presence at the prestigious Tokyo Game Show 2024, setting the stage for a significant impact when the expansion launches.
