Digital Extremes and animation arthouse THE LINE today released a new Warframe: 1999 animated short that looks at The Hex’s personal struggles, the disorderly dynamics within their found family, and the lengths they’ll all go to go to stop the Techrot infestation.

Warframe | “The Hex” – Warframe: 1999 Animated Prologue

Venla Linna, Director for the project, said the following:

“Exploring a world like Warframe through 2D animation was an incredibly fulfilling experience.

We were immediately drawn to the vastness of the universe that has been built, the depth of its storytelling, and the unapologetic stylishness of its characters. 

We strongly felt we had to match the care that Digital Extremes and its community puts into Warframe, and in the process of doing so truly came to be its biggest fans. 

I hope that by helping set the tone for what’s coming later in the month, we can introduce this new chapter of Warframe with the millennium scale fanfare it deserves.”

Rebecca Ford, Creative Director of Warframe, added:

“We’ve been a huge fan of THE LINE’s work for years and knew they would absolutely be the perfect partner.

Warframe: 1999 is one of the most ambitious things our studio has tried in almost 12 years of the game’s evolution. We’re always looking for ways to authentically share our atmosphere and aesthetic with players out of game as well as in-game. 

This evocative short marks the last gift we have to give before the next narrative chapter of Warframe launches later this month!”
