You might recall my recent coverage of the Sea of Conquest comic by Studio Ellipsis, where I highlighted the intriguing blend of new media with traditional storytelling. It's exciting to see that trend continue with the announcement of a new prequel comic for the upcoming Warframe: 1999 expansion!
The Warframe: 1999 prequel comic, accessible directly from the Warframe website, delves into the origins of the six Protoframes that make up the Hex Syndicate, the protagonists of this expansion. This 33-page comic, beautifully illustrated by the Warframe fan artist Karu, will give fans an in-depth look at the lives of these six unique characters and their harrowing experiences under the rogue scientist Albrecht Entrati. It also ties their story into the broader Warframe universe, offering rich context and background that will enhance the gaming experience.
In addition to the comic, fans have more to look forward to. You can download the comic's cover as a free decoration for your landing pad, adding a personal touch to your space. Moreover, free printable 3D miniatures of the Protoframes are available, allowing you to build and paint your own versions of these characters.
Warframe: 1999 is not just another expansion; it represents a significant evolution in the Warframe saga. It's commendable to see Digital Extremes collaborate with a talented fan artist like Karu, whose work has enriched the Warframe community, and now gets a chance to reach an even wider audience through this official project.
