Warframe 1999 has helped me find my new favorite game

I have a perplexing relationship with online videogames - if we were in a Facebook romance, it'd be 'complicated.' I've played League of Legends for [redacted] years because I know it's there and easy to drop into. I've sunk hours into MMOs like Final Fantasy 14 and World of Warcraft, only to fall off because I can't keep up with the grind and, as a result, can't really play the game any more. When it comes to online multiplayers, I stick to what I know because I don't have the time to try anything new, so a world in which I actively tried to play Warframe - one of the most complex games out there - felt like nothing but a far-off reverie.

Warframe 1999 release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more

What is the Warframe 1999 release date? The '90s were a breathtaking time to be alive. Full of change, the promise of a new millennium, and loads of fear about the computerized end of all things, which was only narrowly avoided by a ton of hard work by programmers. If you want to go back there, or never experienced that decade at all, Warframe 1999 will give you a taste of the last century.

Warframe 1999 has been on the horizon since Tennocon 2023, with plenty of hints dropping about what shape the story will take and who we'll encounter on our time-hopping journey. Now the lid has been lifted on what we can expect in the free PC game when 1999 hits. Read on to find out everything you need to know about Warframe 1999, including that all-important release window.

Warframe 1999 secret pays tribute to Half-Life and Gordon Freeman

Half-Life's influence on FPS games is hard to measure. You can look at Dishonored, Titanfall 2, and 4A's Metro series, and find direct comparisons with Valve's debut shooter, but more broadly, Half-Life inspired a generation of players to become game-makers. Like Doom before it, Half-Life feels like an inflection point in PC history, and so it's only fitting that Warframe 1999, the new questline in Digital Extremes' ongoing free FPS, pay homage. Buried within the Warframe 1999 playable preview that was launched during Tennocon there is a neat nod to Gordon Freeman, Valve, and the world of Black Mesa. This is one of the most-loved modern shooters paying tribute to the past.

Warframe 1999 is locked behind hours of grind, but DE might have a fix

Warframe 1999 looks sick; there, I said it. From the moment I caught the teaser back at Tennocon last year, I've been desperate to find out more; watching and waiting, listening to '90s throwbacks in anticipation. While I initially thought 1999 was its own separate entity, akin to The Duviri Paradox or a World of Warcraft expansion, it is, instead, an in-game questline that lies beyond the events of Whispers in the Walls. As a newer player who's barely touched down on Fortuna, it's a long road to get to Höllvania Central Mall, so I ask creative director Rebecca Ford and community director Megan Everett how they're planning to combat the grind for new players.

Warframe's upcoming 1999 expansion adds a romance system, and it's all thanks to Baldur's Gate 3

Warframe's next major story update, the 1999 expansion, will introduce plenty of new features to the mix, like '90s boy bands and instant messenger clients. However, one thing that definitely wasn't on my bingo card is a romance system that could end with a New Year's kiss from any of the Hex, a new syndicate made up of Protoframes...
