If you’re a gamer, then Warframe is a title that probably needs no introduction—even if you might have mixed feelings about it. An ambitious title that blended genres even when it released back in March 2013, Warframe has morphed and transformed numerous times over the last eleven-plus years to the point that the multiplayer space ninja action game includes open-world exploration, vehicular combat, starship battles in 3D space, and more.Developer Digital Extremes describes the title’s next major update, coming this Winter, as „the Future of Warframe.“ That’s quite a statement given that the update diverges in both tone and themes from the rest of the game. Warframe is not a game that shies away from exploring experimental ideas, though, and Warframe 1999 is bringing elements to the game that players have been asking for since 2013, like, say, faces for the Warframes:
Explaining how we go from science-horror space battles in the far-flung future to nostalgia-filled 1990s throw-back would require explaining basically the entire story of Warframe, and we don’t have that kind of time. The short version is that it involves alternate timeline wackiness—a concept that is already central to the story of the online third-person shooter. Warframe 1999 promises to shed some light on the origins of the titular warframes, and players can’t wait to get their hands on it.That’s why it’s a big deal that Digital Extremes finally released a short demo for the new add-on. The demo, like the expansion itself, requires players to have completed most of the game’s story, and it presents a snippet of gameplay with little in the way of story context, leaving experienced players salivating for more.
