Warframe 1999is going to be the latest of many adventures that have been added over the years by Digital Extremes, and it’s arguably the most different experience you may imagine.

As revealed earlier in The Game Awards, the upcoming expansion will be following a different path than the core space action experience of the base title. If you’ve played the demo, you will have a clear idea about what to expect. If you’re someone who never experienced the demo, here’s all you need to know to enjoy the new expansion.

How to access Warframe 1999

Is Warframe 1999 a standalone title?

1999isn’t a standalone title, and it’s very much tied to the coreWarframeexperience. Yes, the events take place in the past, and the lore, technology, and your enemies will be different from what you typically have experienced in the base game. But the upcoming content is an expansion and not a separate game.

Is it necessary to own Warframe to play Warframe 1999?

OwningWarframeis necessary, and that shouldn’t be a problem as it’s free-to-play. If you’re a new player, you can’t directly enjoy the expansion. There’s a mountain of grind that you’ll have to clear before you can try out the new storyline.

How to play Warframe 1999

The first thing is to download the update that will be available on the platform of your choice. Next, you’ll need to have cleared a significant amount of the core campaign, which is presented via four different arcs. You can always check your quest progress by clicking on this link, but here’s everything that you must complete before you can try outWarframe 1999.

Hence, reaching1999requires you to clear almost all the expansions that have been added by Digital Extremes in the past. If you’re someone who is going to play for the first time, hang tight, for it is going to take you many hours at minimum.

Thankfully, the guided nature of the quests will help you understand the core mechanics, and you’ll also get the necessary gear. When it comes to gear, you’ll need two weapons: The Railjack and Necramech.

If you have cleared The Lotus Eaters, all you have to do is to just get the latest client and jump in on your latest adventures.
