Warframe: 1999 Announces Techrot Encore Release Date, Adds New Content and Characters

The excitement around Warframe's upcoming 1999 expansion has reached new heights with the announcement of the Techrot Encore update, slated for release on March 19th. This update promises to deliver a thrilling blend of nostalgia and innovation, set against the backdrop of the turn of the millennium.

Techrot Encore introduces four new Protoframes to the roster: Flare, Minerva, Kaya, and Velimir II, each bringing unique abilities to the battlefield. Alongside these additions, the 60th Warframe, Temple, makes a striking entrance with its Techrot Subwoofer minions and a sentient guitar named Lizzie, poised to revolutionize combat dynamics.

For Warframe veterans, the update escalates the challenge with two new endgame stages. In Stage Defense, players will protect Scaldra during a poignant memorial show commemorating fallen comrades, showcasing the game's depth of narrative. Meanwhile, Temporal Archimedea challenges players to undertake three consecutive random missions alongside Minerva and Velimir II, with the Peely Pix system introducing variable modifiers for a fresh experience each time.

Frame jobAdding a touch of warmth and community spirit, Digital Extremes honors a Make-A-Wish commitment from James Conlin with the introduction of the Atomicycle racing mini-game at the Höllvania Mall Hub's Ollie's Crash Course arcade. This addition not only enriches the game's content but also celebrates the impact of community involvement.

Beyond the immediate thrill of Techrot Encore, Warframe enthusiasts have much to look forward to, including the buildup to Tennocon 2025 and the relaunch of an open beta for the upgraded Warframe Companion App. These developments ensure that March will be a vibrant month for fans.
