After eleven years of updates and iterations, Warframe, a free online game that has consistently ranked in the top 10 of Steam's best-selling list, is now heading in a new direction with the release of its annual version "1999".

TennoCon is the player carnival of "Warframe". Every year, the development team will hold a series of programs at this event to have fun with players around the world, and will also announce the game updates in the next one to two years. This year will consist of six parts, namely the opening welcome, Soulframe developer live broadcast, Warframe Art, Galaxy Voice, role-playing competition and TennoLive 2024. From art to audio, to Warframe design, multi-dimensional in-depth interpretation of the grand world view and unique artistic concept of Warframe for core players.

The annual version of "Warframe: 1999" will be coming in winter!

The most exciting news of this conference is the annual version that has been planned for many years. DE will release a new blockbuster content in the winter of 2024 - "Warframe: 1999". In this version, players will travel back to 1999 and play as Arthur, a human who is very similar to the holy sword, and face a new crisis with their other prototype warframe partners.

In addition to Arthur and Bea, who were revealed last year, other prototype armors have also been revealed, including Eleanor (Nyx), Quincy (new armor Cyte-09), Letty (Trinity) and Amir (Volt). In addition to their outstanding performances in this version, they will also be transformed into transformable armors to accompany all players. The prototype armors drive atomic motorcycles and gallop through the streets of the 90s, bringing players a retro audio-visual experience.

In addition, new humanoid bosses and battles were also shown in the actual gameplay. The gameplay combined the classic Warframe series gameplay and electronic games from the 1990s. The new weapon AX-52 rifle and new RPG-like weapons also refreshed players' understanding of the game content.

How to understand the 90s culture and integrate it into the game in a way that players like? This actual machine demonstration gave a beautiful answer. DE has been constantly innovating in the game dubbing and music. This time, it also created a virtual boy band for the annual version and brought their 90s style song "Part Of Your Lifetime". In the game, it seems that this boy band is also closely related to the new spiritual enemies.

In addition to the study of music, the interpretation of science fiction concepts has also become one of the highlights of this live demonstration. Parallel universes have always been a hot topic in science fiction culture. This annual version also involves concepts related to parallel universes. The prototype Warframe Arthur and the original character of the Origin System, the Holy Sword, are in direct confrontation, and the secret of the man in the wall will eventually be revealed. What is the origin of the Earth where Arthur is and the Origin System? Please look forward to the new version of "Warframe: 1999" to be launched in winter 2024!

In addition to the massive update to the game, DE also announced the latest animation plan. DE will work with the world's top animation studio The Line to create an animated short film for "Warframe: 1999". Through this art form outside of the game, it will bring players a full-scale and multi-dimensional audio-visual feast. Players can also learn more about the story of 1999 and the character ties from the animated short film.

The Eternal Flame Heirloom Pack is now available, and the Holy Ghost is coming soon

At last year's TennoCon, the heirlooms of Ice and Frost and Magnetism were immediately sought after by players once they were released. The heirlooms also became another commemoration to maintain the emotional connection between Tenno and the Origin System. It can be said that the heirloom series of skins has become the epitome of Warframe's art design.

At this year's TennoCon2024, DE announced the heirloom appearance of the Warframe - Eternal Flame. As an early classic Warframe, Eternal Flame has always been able to evoke the memories of old players about the past of Warframe. The Eternal Flame heirloom appearance continues the design of the warrior armor as always, with beautiful muscle lines shaping a star-like gorgeous body. In terms of price, this year's heirloom gift package has also been optimized, priced at 190 yuan, and can be obtained through cash direct purchase and mall platinum purchase.

In addition to the heirloom, DE also announced a small version of "Lotus Eater" and a new holy suit. As the prologue of the annual version, the "Lotus Eater" version will continue to unfold the story of the man in the wall.

Along with the new version comes the Holy Void Ghost, as well as upgraded versions of his iconic weapons, the Holy Burial and the Holy Nautilus. The Holy Void Ghost's appearance continues the Void Ghost's navigator setting, supplemented by the gorgeous metal style of Orokin. This is the elegant form of the Void Ghost before he was lost in the void. I believe his arrival will add a more powerful way to play to the Tenno Warrior's arsenal. The above content will be implemented in the game in August.

The national server experience has been upgraded, and the clan portrait and team system are under development

As a free multiplayer online game, many players are looking forward to being able to communicate more closely with their clan mates. The clan renaming function and clan avatar function for the Chinese version are under development and will be tested in grayscale in October. It is expected that these two functions will be fully available this year.

In addition, team formation has always been an important way for many players to meet new friends. For this reason, the national server operation team is working with the WeGame platform to provide a dedicated team formation platform for national server players. Through the team formation platform, players can find a team that suits them according to the gameplay and mission objectives, and communicate with teammates more easily through the WeGame association function.

Finally, the Chinese server is currently revising the translation text. Currently, the operation team is making translation modifications for the Amplitude Crystal and weapons, which will be as consistent as possible with the global version. At the same time, the advantages of the Chinese server translation will be retained, and the differences will be sought to fill the possible gaps in communication and learning between the two servers.

Newbie-friendly! Optimized game flow, Warframe Caliban reworked

The development team attaches great importance to the transformation of UI and system. Whether the new players have a smooth experience and whether the veterans can play conveniently have become the core goals of the functional transformation. First of all, the armory will add a new "Favorites" function, the companion 2.0 remake will be launched, and the new spiritual weapons will also be coming soon. These can significantly improve the gaming experience of veteran players and can actually reduce the burden on novice players.

Along with the system rework, refreshing the existing Warframes is also an important measure for the development team to optimize the gaming experience. As a Warframe launched in "A New Era of War", Caliban has had a low usage rate since its launch. The development team will remake Caliban's skills and effects, and tailor a new deluxe skin for it. In addition, a new Warframe Cyte-09 will also be launched at the same time as the Caliban remake.

DE's new Soulframe actual machine demo exposed

The development team DE also brought the latest demo of the new work Soulframe at TennoCon. Soulframe is a fantasy action game. In the demo, the player plays the role of an "envoy" with various magical spells, and gets their help in the process of searching for the "ancestors".

This time, not only the new home system was showcased, but also the art design style that DE is proud of was highlighted. The demonstration fully demonstrated the new weapon skills and the unique action experience design of the boss battle, making us look forward to more news about Soulframe in the future.

Over the past eleven years, Warframe has grown together with the Tenno warriors, from the Plains of Eidolon to the Realm of the Double Evolution, from the glorious sword to the AX-52 rifle, the Tenno warriors have always been ready to face the endless challenges of the Origin System.

The vitality of the game comes from constant updates and the undying love and support of the players. Thank you to all the Tiannuo warriors, and may the stars always bless you.

Let’s meet in the winter of 2024, meet in “Warframe: 1999”!
