Warframe: 1999 Coming in December, Featuring Rotating Seasons, Customization, and Boy Band Boss Fights
Warframe: 1999 will release in December. Digital Extremes announced the launch window along with some more Warframe details in the latest devstream.
If you haven't played the new demo yet, that's available on all platforms. There will also be a brand new Warframe 1999 comic from TBGKaru. The comic is “about the Hex Syndicate [namely, their founding] as they navigate the dangers in Höllvania”. The 33-page one shot comic will be out sometime next month but the team is offering a cover display preview Orbiter Decoration for 1 credit.

It was made by Sumo Digital.

Enter the Technocyte Coda, consisting of versions of each of the band members with their own combat styles. Think tentacle whips, a brute force charge, illusionary technomancy, metal manipulation, or deadly claws. Once you have that in mind, get ready to challenge them to musical boss battles. If you defeat them (using antivirus software), you'll get tokens to use to get some of the 13 brand new Infested weapons. You’ll also have a shot at cosmetics and other goods representing the defeated member. You can choose to kill or convert.
Speaking of cosmetics, you’ll be able to customize the Atomicycle via colors as well as premium skins to be released.
Digital Extremes is clearly having lots of fun with the nostalgia as they build out the next chapter of Warframe. They've also
