Warframe 1999 invites players to explore a shadowy prequel era of the Tenno saga, tracing the lineage of descendants from an ancient in-game civilization. While details remain scarce, media outlets have described the update as a fusion reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid and Dark Sector, offering a grittier, more conspiratorial atmosphere.
“Long before the Old War, the actions of Albrecht Entrati left a dark imprint on the Source System. Who is he, and what is his history?”a question anchors the official description, hinting at deeper lore to uncover as the narrative unfolds.
At TennoCon, Digital Extremes also showcased gameplay for Whispers in the Walls, an update slated for winter release. This cinematic quest places players at the center of a struggle between Albrecht Entrati and a mysterious force known as the Man in the Wall.

Fans can expect a new secondary weapon, the alien Grimoire—a mystical book with an alternate-fire mode. Additional highlights include fresh factions named The Murmur and Necramechs, challenging boss battles, new merchants, an extra syndicate, and a NecralisK hub expansion where players explore abandoned laboratories and hidden spaces.
Beyond that, an October update titled Abyss of Dagath will debut the 54th Warframe, introduce a new storyline, add a Blade and Whip weapon type, Halloween-themed items, and a range of upgrades beyond the usual cadence.
Digital Extremes has also kept Soulframe, the fantasy co-op action game announced previously, in the spotlight by sharing fresh gameplay footage, underscoring ongoing progress and plans for its release alongside Warframe content in the years ahead.
