You might recall my recent coverage of the Sea of Conquest comic produced by Studio Ellipsis, where I highlighted the innovative approach of supporting new media with traditional formats. Well, it seems the trend continues, as the highly anticipated expansion, Warframe: 1999, is now set to launch with its own prequel comic!
Accessible directly from the Warframe website, this comic delves into the origins of the six Protoframes, the core members of the Hex Syndicate who star in the expansion. You'll gain insights into the tumultuous lives of these six unique characters and the harrowing experiments conducted by the rogue scientist, Albrecht Entrati. The narrative beautifully ties into the broader Warframe universe, all brought to life by the talented Warframe fan artist, Karu.
But the excitement doesn't stop at the comic! Alongside this 33-page prequel, fans can snag the cover art as a decoration for their landing pad. Additionally, free printable 3D miniatures of all the Protoframes are available, allowing players to build and paint their own models.
Warframe: 1999, although labeled as an expansion, truly marks a significant evolution in the Warframe saga. It's commendable to see Digital Extremes collaborate with a fan artist like Karu, whose contributions have enriched the Warframe community. This collaboration not only showcases Karu's art to a broader audience but also strengthens the bond between the developers and their fans.
For those eager to dive deeper into Warframe: 1999, don't miss our exclusive interview with voice actors Ben Starr, Alpha Takahashi, and Nick Apostolides. They share insights into their roles and what players can anticipate from this thrilling expansion!
