Step back in time to an alternate 1999 in Warframe's thrilling new chapter, Warframe: 1999. This update plunges you into a vibrant, retro-futuristic world where you'll defend Höllvania City against the menacing Scaldra army and the insidious Techrot infestation.

Prepare for a captivating single-player Quest and meet Cyte-09, the 59th Warframe, whose unique abilities let you see through walls. Experiment with powerful new weaponry, including the Reconifex assault rifle and the Vesper 77 pistol.

Warframe: 1999 introduces four exciting new mission types:

  • Defend Höllvania: Fight back against the Techrot infestation.
  • Experience a new narrative: Unravel the mysteries of this alternate 1999.
  • Engage in challenging missions: Tackle a variety of new objectives.
  • Participate in PvPvE Faceoff: Race through a relay with allies and enemies in this unique mode.
  • Protect the Hell-Scrubbers: Safeguard these vital assets from Techrot corruption in the Hell-Scrub mission.

Creative Director Rebecca Ford shares, "Our venture into the ‘what if’ Y2K scenario of 1999 has been a passion project for so many of us. We’ve done everything we can to pack this update with romance, music, action, and most importantly, core Warframe gameplay."

The fun doesn't stop there! Team up with Balatro in the chaotic Friends of Jimbo 3 collaboration, featuring deck-building mayhem.
