Get ready for a blast from the past! Warframe's next major update, *Warframe: 1999*, transports you to an alternate 1999 where a Y2K virus threatens to unravel reality. This massive update begins with a prologue quest, "The Lotus Eaters," launching in August 2024. Reuniting you with a beloved character, this prologue sets the stage for the main event, introducing Sevatgoth Prime and their exclusive weapons. Completing "The Lotus Eaters" is a prerequisite for experiencing *Warframe: 1999*, arriving Winter 2024.
Dive into the Techrot-infested city of Höllvania, a vibrant 90s metropolis twisted by a deadly virus. Navigate this retro-futuristic landscape with the new Atomicyles, versatile vehicles capable of bullet jumps, drifts, and even explosive maneuvers. Lead a team of six unique heroes, the Hex, each wielding a Protoframe—a Warframe showcasing the human within. Meet Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), Quincy (the new CYTE-09), and more, brought to life by a stellar cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler.
Experience the 90s in all its glory—even the cheesy parts! Battle a Technocyte-infected 90s boy band, On-lyne, led by the charismatic Zeke (voiced by Nick Apostolides). Their infectious music will be available on major streaming platforms. And get ready to revamp your style with enhanced fashion systems, including dual fashion frame loadouts and the introduction of Gemini Skins. These skins allow you to bring the Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi into the Origin System, complete with fully voiced lines for an immersive experience.
Beyond *Warframe: 1999*, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to create an anime short film launching this year. Plus, grab the stunning Heirloom skin for Ember (available now) and a Rhino skin coming early 2025. With *Warframe: 1999* on the horizon and plenty to explore in the meantime, download Warframe today from the App Store!
