Warframe has been known for its unique and outlandish expansions, and the upcoming 1999 expansion is no exception. Set in a nostalgic Earth-like world of a 90s shopping mall, players will be introduced to the Hex Syndicate, made up of proto-forms of iconic Warframes. What sets this expansion apart is the introduction of a romance system, allowing players to deepen relationships with comrades through text-based conversations and even the possibility of a New Year’s kiss.
As the demo progresses, players are taken on a wild ride through the neon-streaked streets of Kulvania, a new open-world environment that combines classic Earth-like weaponry with sci-fi attacks. The combat scenes are intense, with enemies swarming the streets and a boss-like H-04 Efervon Tank adding to the chaos. The action culminates in a showdown with a giant creature that gives birth to the familiar Excalibur Warframe.
The story takes a mysterious turn as players are transported centuries later to a space concert stadium that shouldn’t exist, possibly due to a Coda virus. The stadium hosts a live gig featuring the fictional boyband On-Lyne, setting the stage for an epic battle. The 1999 expansion promises to be a thrilling experience for Warframe players, with additional features like Gemini skins, the new sniper-focused Warframe Cyte-09, and two upcoming updates before the expansion’s launch.
Players can get a sneak peek of the 1999 expansion through a special in-game narrative experience available for a limited time. This expansion is a bold and daring move by Digital Extremes, and players can expect a winter release date to dive into the world of Warframe 1999. Stay tuned for more updates and details on what’s to come in this exciting new chapter of Warframe.
