Warframe's TennoCon 2024: A Blast from the Past with Warframe: 1999

TennoCon 2024 delivered a knockout punch with the announcement of Warframe: 1999, a massive update promising a retro-futuristic adventure. Get ready for a wild ride through a 1999 prologue, a Techrot-infested city on the brink of Y2K chaos, and a significant fashion system overhaul.

The journey begins with a prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," launching in August 2024. Reuniting players with a beloved character, this quest sets the stage for the 1999 storyline and introduces Sevatgoth Prime and their unique weapons. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999, slated for release in Winter 2024.

Warframe: 1999 plunges players into an alternate 1999, where a deadly Y2K virus threatens global catastrophe. The setting? Höllvania, a vibrant 90s city corrupted by Techrot. Navigate this retro-dystopia using the new Atomicyles, versatile vehicles capable of bullet jumps, drifts, and explosive maneuvers. Leading the charge are the Hex, six heroes sporting Protoframes – Warframes revealing the human beneath.

Meet Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), Quincy (the new CYTE-09), and more, voiced by a star-studded cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Connect with them in true 1999 style – through instant messaging!

Prepare for a showdown with On-lyne, a 90s boy band infected by Technocyte Coda and led by the charismatic Zeke (voiced by Nick Apostolides). Their infectious music is available now on all major streaming services.

Fashion takes center stage with upgraded systems, allowing two customizable Warframe loadouts. The introduction of Gemini Skins lets you bring Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi into the Origin System, complete with fully voiced lines.

Anime Arthur and Aoi

Beyond the main event, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to produce an anime short based on Warframe: 1999. Also, starting now, acquire stunning Heirloom skins for Ember, with a Rhino skin arriving in early 2025.
