Sometimes that's a nerf, right? I'm not saying the design philosophy is not to nerf during lockdown because people are depressed but it's not a mutually exclusive concept. So what's the best approach? "We're just trying to exercise caution with everything we do to not make people's days worse by doing something in Warframe that is a net negative.

Which comes with its own series of issues to engage around, because no one's really happy, right now, and we're just trying to do our best to not add to the unhappiness." I know Warframe has become that for a lot of people. I myself have picked a game and made it my digital therapist for coping with lockdown. "Luckily there's a couple of really easy ways to do it by just reducing the resources required… it's very much a de-grind."Īll of which is a testament to Digital Extremes care for its community, a responsibility it takes great care with, but one that isn't always easy, especially during a global pandemic where your game suddenly becomes a lifeline for portions of your audience. "The goal of that is to make people's journey from the starting the game to getting to The New War way less grindy." Though it's no simple thing to rebalance the game's early portion, some aspects weren't so difficult to implement. This sounds all good for those already enthralled but what about those who've never even tried Warframe? Well, it might just be the best time there's been yet to jump aboard, as Digital Extremes has released a new onboarding update. This quest is like… the Half Life 3 of Warframe, you know? Rebecca Ford "I think the story is going to leave people emotional… I didn't finish the script without crying. The system's at war and what we aim to do with act one of The New War, which is what we showed at TennoCon, just shows the system's perspective on the war, and then it will immediately become a personal story."įor those invested in its twists and turns (the quests preceding The New War left players with a lot of personal stakes) this new campaign is set to be an emotional chapter. "You will certainly be needing a Warframe of choice and your operator as the main playable quest content. Though don't expect to spend all of The New War in these shoes. Even as The New War escalates things, it makes plenty of time for the sillier, characterful elements that have made the game such a delight. It's this degree of personality that helps Warframe stay away from becoming some self serious sci-fi game, too obsessed with its own lore. The cloned foot soldier in the Grineer army you control is bossed around by a comically over the top drill sergeant type officer, while the weak, robot commanding lad in the hyper capitalist Corpus faction is following the instructions of a flippant, self centred corporate overlord, whose disregard is too much to be anything other than laughable. However, even though this is a dark, dramatic beat in the story, Warframe isn't afraid to have fun.
With properties like Dune ascendant, Warframe feels poised to capitalise on an audience eager for dense, political world building and strange science fiction concepts. Seeing the universe through the eyes of what has been, for the player, cannon fodder should give it a new sense of scale. As new big bads the Sentients arrive in the solar system, players will be stepping outside their Tenno shoes and taking control of characters in the factions that have previously served as your foe. The New War also has a grander scope than ever before.

"I don't think there's been a time since it was announced in 2018 that someone wasn't thinking about how to start making it awesome, start testing it, start building assets, the concepts, everything has been part of that." She's even the voice of Lotus, the player's guide and mentor. A Warframe stalwart, Rebecca has been with Digital Extremes for nine years, helping to build and steer its story alongside managing its community. "The New War has been the grand vision for years," Rebecca Ford, live operations and community director, tells me. It's a huge story campaign: the latest chapter in a lavish saga about the solar system protecting Tenno and the return of an old enemy. Tomorrow's Warframe update, The New War, isn't simply a burst of more content, intended to pad out a service game treadmill with new chores to grind. Now it's a sprawling sci-fi epic that contains everything from open world mech battles to ship-to-ship space combat.

It feels like only yesterday Warframe was just that odd little free to play game with the space ninjas.
