A First Look at Warframe: 1999
The short, titled The Hex, offers fans a glimpse into the intricate world of Warframe. The 2D animation captures the tone of the upcoming narrative chapter while showcasing the game’s atmospheric and aesthetic richness.
Insights from the Creative Team
Venla Linna, Director of the animated short, shared her enthusiasm for working on the project:
“Exploring a world like Warframe through 2D animation was an incredibly fulfilling experience. We were immediately drawn to the vastness of the universe, the depth of its storytelling, and the unapologetic stylishness of its characters.
We strongly felt we had to match the care that Digital Extremes and its community puts into Warframe, and in the process, we truly came to be its biggest fans. I hope that by helping set the tone for what’s coming later in the month, we can introduce this new chapter of Warframe with the millennium-scale fanfare it deserves.”
Rebecca Ford, Creative Director of Warframe, praised THE LINE’s contribution to the project:
“We’ve been huge fans of THE LINE’s work for years and knew they would be the perfect partner.
Warframe: 1999 is one of the most ambitious projects our studio has tackled in nearly 12 years of the game’s evolution. We’re always exploring ways to authentically share our atmosphere and aesthetic with players both in-game and beyond.
This evocative short is our final gift to players before the next narrative chapter launches later this month.”
This new chapter promises to push the boundaries of storytelling in Warframe, offering an immersive narrative experience for both long-time players and newcomers.
