We spoke with Warframe's creative director and had an early look at Warframe: 1999, the upcoming update with new story, frames, boy bands, and dating.
After over a decade, Warframe continues to grow, evolve, and reinvent itself. The third-person shooter/RPG hybrid has thrived as a free-to-play game thanks to steady updates expanding the story, systems, and weapons. With the upcoming release of Warframe : 1999, Digital Extremes looks to conquer some completely unexpected things: Y2K, chat rooms, and boy bands.
Party like it’s 1999 It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. It’s the era of boy bands, chat rooms, and the looming specter of Y2K. It’s Earth, but not our Earth, with signs of societal decay. “We have a sort of vaguely Eastern European impression of a 1999 that has roads, military CRT screens everywhere, and the sense of the sort of abandoned culture, malls, stadiums, and those types of hallmarks for the time,” Brennan says.
“Yes, we’re adding a romance system to this particular slice of Warframe, because it’s the ’90s,” Ford says. “You know, if you were in 1999 on your computer, you were probably in chat rooms on AOL, ICQ, messenger, all these things. So all of these people would have had accounts at the time to talk to each other.”
“Warframe is a game with its own narrative and world-building, there’s a lot that relies on very specific things happening, like a failed void journey or an awakening for the player. So we thought we could actually pick a moment in contemporary time to trigger some major story beat for the world. We’re making it our own in the way that it relates to Albrecht Entrati, specifically in the void.
ProtoExcalibur Beyond the roughly three- to four-hour campaign in Waframe: 1999, we will see a number of elements that come back from the year 1999 to the modern era. Arthur’s motorcycle was initially conceived as a simple loading screen before growing into a fully functional mode of transportation, complete with jumps and aerial tricks. It will be fully playable in open areas like the Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis.
