We all knew that Warframe 1999 was slated to release this month, and thanks to an appearance during The Game Awards, we now have a release date. Guess what? It’s coming tomorrow!

The End is Just the Beginning, Warframe 1999 Final Trailer is Here

About Warframe 1999:

“Begin the next chapter of an epic, system-spanning Narrative with a spectacular new Quest set in the distant (and unfamiliar) past. Overrun with Techrot, the city-state of Höllvania has descended into chaos. An elite fighting unit of Protoframes called The Hex are actively hunting for Albrecht Entrati. And the militaristic Scaldra have deployed their forces to establish control. As the Drifter, you too are looking for Albrecht Entrati (as well the beguiling Man in the Wall). Take hold of your trusty Atomicycle and blaze a trail through Infested streets as you aid The Hex and search for answers, but don’t underestimate the ruthlessness of the Scaldra. In addition to The Hex Syndicate and Scaldra enemy faction, Warframe: 1999 also introduces our first-ever Romance & Relationship System, the 59th Warframe Cyte-09, a plethora of new Customizations and weaponry, Ability changes for Nyx and Trinity, and the new PvPvE game mode: Faceoff. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for the emergence of the Technocyte Coda (Infested Adversaries) in early 2025.”

Additional details on new content arriving in Warframe: 1999:

  • Travel back to an alternate version 1999 in an expansive single-player Quest and bond with the six Protoframe members of The Hex as they defend the city of Höllvania against the threat of two new enemy factions, the Scaldra army and Techrot infestation. Work together and track down the one responsible for their suffering, Dr. Entrati, before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. Saddle up on the latest vehicle mount, the Atomicycle, capable of drifting, bullet-jumping, and even propelling itself into enemies to cause a huge explosion.
  • Scope out the enemy’s weaknesses as Cyte-09, the 59th Warframe. Place scanners to see and shoot enemies through walls, drop elemental ammo packs for yourself or allies, fall back and reposition with cloaking tech, or summon Cyte-09’s Exalted sniper rifle, Neutralizer, equipped with ricocheting bullets and a freezing grenade launcher. Expand your arsenal even further with two new weapons: the assault rifle, Reconifex, and the secondary pistol, Vesper 77.
  • Explore the new Höllvania City environment across four fresh mission types. Split eight players into two squads in an objective-based relay race in Faceoff, the first ever PvPvE game type for Warframe. Partner up with fan-favorite feline, Kalymos, in Legacyte Harvest to help her purge the Techrot and hunt for Legacytes. Clean the streets of Höllvania in Hell-Scrub by protecting the Hell-Scrubbers from Techrot corruption until it’s time for extraction. Take on the kill contract for a new major boss enemy in the H-09 Efervon Tank Assassanation.
  • Fight alongside and against a fresh cast of characters featuring renowned voice talent like Amelia Tyler (Baldur’s Gate 3), Ben Starr (Final Fantasy XVI), Nick Apostolides (Resident Evil 4 Remake), and Neil Newbon (Baldur’s Gate 3). Send private chat messages with Protoframes on the K.I.M. console in a first-ever for Warframe, the relationship and romance system, to learn their backstories, deepest secrets, and maybe even spark a romance for the ages (or forge an everlong friendship).
  • Spend some time in the Höllvania Central Mall’s arcade and land a high score in Caliber Chicks 2, an original ‘90s-era run n’ gun side-scroller developed in partnership with Sumo Digital. Jillian and Lillian Killian are the acclaimed Caliber Chicks: Supreme Operatives of the Unified Kingdoms Defence Force and the only ones capable of defeating the evil Anna Ki and rescuing the kidnapped President.
  • Take in-game fashion to a higher level with a new tier of fully voiced and customizable cosmetics, Gemini Skins. Transmute Excalibur, Mag, Volt, Nyx, Trinity, and Cyte-09 into their Protoframe counterparts and vice-versa with a flashy transformation emote. Plus, customize the color of their hair, eyes, and gear.
  • New additions to the collaborative community artist program TennoGen will also arrive in Warframe: 1999. Bring back the ‘90s style for your Operator and Drifter with the Frame Friend Earring, Butterfly Wings Sunglasses, F19 Condroc Headphones, Millennium Visor Cap, or Choroid Eye Accessory.
  • Warframe: 1999 also brings various quality of life improvements, such as light reworks for Trinity and Nyx, increased capacity for weapon and Warframe slots, and the removal of Mastery Rank Test cooldowns on failed attempts.
  • Jam out to the most musically packed Warframe content to date, in and out of the game. Warframe: 1999’s soundtrack will be fully available on streaming platforms Friday, Dec. 13 as well as on a physical LP for sale in the Warframe Merch Store featuring hits like On-lyne’s “PARTY OF YOUR LIFETIME” and the Atomicycle theme “The Call”.

Warframe 1999 will be available for free on all platforms starting tomorrow. We’ll have a full list of changes that will accompany tomorrow’s patch, so stay tuned!
