Digital Extremes’ fifth annual Warframe event, TennoCon, kicks off next week on August 1st (albeit digitally this year thanks to that pandemic). They’ll be revealing the details of the game’s next expansion, Heart Of Deimos, and to pique players’ interest, they’ve released a tidbit of info and a cheeky teaser for said expansion already. It’ll all revolve around the Infested – an alien faction taken over by techno-organic parasites (sounds painful). And, actually that’s about it for now.
Here’s the teaser trailer – complete with dramatic choral music, freaky alien beasts, and a peek at some shiny new items.
Well, as pretty much every event has gone online and been delayed at least once this year, this comes as no surprise. Warframe‘s TennoCon fan event already went online-only for this year, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, and has now moved back its date. Previously planned for July 11th, TennoCon 2020 is now coming on August 1st.
Developer Digital Extremes' acclaimed free-to-play sci-fi shooter Warframe continues its ceaseless expansion on PC today, its new Deadlock Protocol update introducing new missions, a new Warframe, and a thorough remaster for its ageing Corpus Faction content.
Warframe's wealth-obsessed Corpus Faction and related Corpus Ship tileset are some of the earliest content created for the game, dating all the way back to its original release in 2013. The tileset itself - which forms Warframe's procedurally generated interiors - receives a thorough upgrade, boosting graphical fidelity and expanding its spaces to better suit the game's modern style of play, but there are improvements across all aspects of the Corpus Faction.
You can expect new challenges and enemies - including an overhauled Jackal boss fight - plus new story elements said to shed more light on the origins of the Corpus.
