Warframe 1999 is the talk of the town, and gamers are hyped. However, many are confused as to what Waframe 1999 is. Is the game a sequel? Is it a prequel? Or is Warframe 1999 a standalone game? Surprisingly, the answer to these questions is a resounding, “No.”

Waframe 1999 is a brand new expansion to the main Warframe base game. It is an update adding new content to the game, in addition to a new major questline for players to experience. In this article, we shall go over the Warframe 1999 expansion and the content it is bringing. 

What’s New in Warframe 1999?

As we stated earlier, Warframe 1999 is a brand new expansion for the base Warframe game that adds a major quest line for players to play. The expansion rewinds the clock back to 1999 and brings along new gameplay, lore, and aesthetic changes to offer a fresh new experience that we shall discuss below. 

90s Aesthetic

The expansion takes the ‘1999’ seriously, pushing for a more retro-futuristic aesthetic. The changes aren’t just aesthetic. The game will feature weapons fitting the period, allowing you to fully immerse yourself into the 1999 setting.

As for the relatively grounded (and weaker) weapons available in the year 1999, the game will also adjust the enemy density and slow down the game’s combat. This is to make sure that the firepower is up for the challenge players face and that no one is left frustrated.

A Romance System

The much-anticipated expansion brings with it a Romance/Dating sim mechanic. This allows players to interact with characters and form strong bonds through the course of the game. Players will be able to romance the Protoframes characters in the game. The Protoframes include Arthur (Excalibur Protoframe), Lettie (Trinity Protoframe), Aoi (Mag Protoframe), Quincy (Cyte-09 Protframe), Amir (Volt Protoframe) and Eleanor (Nyx Protoframe). 

A New World To Explore
