Today, during Tennocon 2024, Digital Extremes debuted a new gameplay trailer for Warframe: 1999, a narrative-driven spin-off quest for Warframe set in the late 1990s. Along with some tubular action sequences, the trailer showed off a new boss fight where the most dangerous enemy might be the earworm that infects your real-world brain during the battle.
The trailer kicks off in a deserted shopping mall, complete with old, clunky computers and an arcade lined with machines. A team of Protoframes, led by the main character Arthur, then pursue Dr. Entrati, who Warframe fans know as the first person to make contact with the Void that gives the Tenno their power.

The trailer showcases various action scenes featuring the new Atomicycle vehicle, innovative weapons like the AX-52 rifle, and an intense battle against a gigantic tank set to late ’90s nu-metal music. Viewers are also introduced to Arthur’s teammates: Amir, the intellect; Aoi, the logistics specialist; and Quincy, a sharpshooter whose Cyte-09 Warframe is a fresh addition to the Warframe universe.
The trailer concludes with the reveal of Technocyte Coda, an Infested version of an in-game boy band named On-lyne. They are introduced with their “hit single” titled Party Of Your Lifetime playing in the background, which is now available on all major real-world streaming platforms.
Additional updates to Warframe include new Ember and Rhino Heirloom skins, a new questline named The Lotus Eaters, and an anime short that introduces Warframe: 1999, created in partnership with the London-based art studio The Line.
Warframe can be played on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
