Warframe developer Digital Extremes is offering players a sneak peek of the thrilling action-combat and new features coming to the award-winning looter shooter when The New War arrives on Wednesday, December 15. The next and biggest chapter in Warframe’s free Cinematic Quest line, The New War will see players controlling new playable characters for the very first time as they work through dramatic twists and turns across Act 1, mastering the unique play styles of Kahl-175, Veso, and Teshin to experience war with the Sentients from different perspectives. The full Cinematic Quest sends players on a journey across 3 massive acts, the latter two of which are being kept a secret until launch. This story will send players to new environments, including Open Worlds besieged by Sentients, unearthing answers to the players’ personal story of identity and conflict with the Lotus as well as unveiling the lasting impact the invasion will have on the Origin System.
Warframe’s cinematic story trailer created by Blur Studio (Netflix’s Love Death + Robots), revealed live to players on Devstream #158, showcased never-before-seen moments between Warframe’s iconic characters and the relationship between Tenno and the Lotus. As players glean more of what’s to come, new questions will arise: is Lotus friend or foe? Can Ballas be stopped, and why has the Shadow Stalker returned?
