Warframe: 1999 Demo is Live (and Painfully Short)

Digital Extremes’ next major story expansion for Warframe, Warframe: 1999, goes live sometime this Winter. While there’s plenty to look forward to, you won’t see too much in the free demo, which went live recently. Players can go hands-on with the combat and even ride around in the sleek Atomicycle, but it lasts about five minutes.

Since it’s only accessible through Warframe, it’s a lot for new players to download the entire game to try it out. The response from the hardcore has been positive, though there have been complaints of being unable to shoot weapons on the Atomicycle. It’s unknown if this will change when the expansion drops, so stay tuned for updates.

Warframe: 1999 follows the Protoframes in the titular year, with the player controlling Arthur (voiced by Ben Starr) as he embarks on a quest to find Dr. Entrati. Along the way, he’ll deal with Scaldra and On-Lyne, later revealed as an Infested boy band in the current timeline.
