The game is still gaining popularity, as evidenced by the recent iOS port of Warframe, launched in February 2024. The developers have hinted at a new expansion, titled “1999,” since August 2023.

1999 Billed As Warframe’s ‘Most Ambitious Addition’ To Date

The Canadian studio is boasting about the year 1999 as “the most daring extension” to the game Warframe they have ever created, which is quite a claim for a live-service game that’s known for delivering some truly monumental updates. In this specific case, Warframe: 1999 is expected to add yet another single-player quest, making it the 59th Warframe called Cyte-09, two new enemy groups, and four additional mission types, along with other exciting innovations. The expansion will also unveil the game’s first-ever collection of cosmetic skins that can transform, and these skins will be fully voiced for the very first time.

In keeping with its title, the game “Warframe: 1999” will be rich in references to the last decade of the 20th century. The narrative will transport players to an alternate 1999, where they must protect the city of Höllvania from the Techrot infestation and Scaldra army. To accomplish this mission, they’ll ally with six members of The Hex’s Protoframe unit, aiming to bring down Dr. Entrati, the enigmatic character behind the deteriorating condition of the expansion’s world.
