Romance. It comes in many forms: wine and chocolates, a bashful serenade, buying someone an expensive League of Legends skin (it was DJ Sona) - it's unique to the individual. But, in the wake of megahits like Baldur's Gate 3, love has become a core component of many videogames, too, including the likes of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Digital Extremes' upcoming Warframe 1999. Inspired by '90s messenger apps and blossoming high school romances, 1999's system looks to be a fresh take on the traditional RPG dating framework, and I caught up with creative director Rebecca Ford and principal writer Kathryn Kingsley to chat all things amour.

While all eyes fervently turn towards the likes of GTA 6, my mind is still very much on Warframe 1999. Since it was unveiled a year ago, it's been lurking in my brain like the Infestation, rearing its head whenever a new trailer drops, then returning to its slumber. With the days ticking down and New Year's Eve drawing ever closer, there's a brand-new mode in the works that changes up the traditional action for something that's "unlike anything Warframe has done before."
