Award-winning Warframe developer, Digital Extremes, took its 7th annual TennoCon soaring to new heights as the Canadian studio offered millions of Warframe players around the world with an opportunity to unite for an extensive digital and immersive celebration of Warframe packed with major company announcements, game reveals, and an exclusive look at Warframe‘s ‘The Duviri Paradox’ Open World expansion and ‘Veilbreaker’ update during TennoLive. Following a day filled with content reveals, community activities, exclusive giveaways, and developer panels and Q&A’s, players roared with digital cheer in stream chat as Warframe Creative Director Rebecca Ford took to the stage with colleagues for TennoLive to deliver updates on Cross Play development alongside major company news including the premiere of the first cinematic trailer for Digital Extremes’ newest IP Soulframe and the announcement of a publishing agreement in collaboration with Austin, TX studio Airship Syndicate.
“We’re are incredibly honored to have been able to share this day with millions of players and viewers from around the world, all joining together to celebrate what they have helped us achieve in Warframe and to become a part of our studio journey as our talented team at Digital Extremes grows,” said Sheldon Carter, COO of Digital Extremes. “With Warframe continuing its strong path forward as The Duviri Paradox and Veilbreaker head to all platforms this year, and new internal and external projects in development with Soulframe and our collaboration with Airship Syndicate respectively, we are thrilled to open this new chapter for Digital Extremes and invite our community of players along for the journey.”
As an Outlaw, Take on a New Sprawling and Color Changing Open World United Against You and Escape a Time Looping Dimension in Warframe’s ‘The Duviri Paradox’ First Look
In the world premiere of live gameplay from the highly-anticipated Open World expansion The Duviri Paradox, Digital Extremes evolves its storydriven open world systems like never before. Launching for all platforms this winter, The Duviri Paradox brings players a new chapter in Warframe‘s Cinematic Quest line, complete with powerful upgrade systems and the ultimate challenge to wrest control of Duviri’s color changing Open World from the clutches of a despotic ruler, Dominus Thrax, before the looping cycle resets once again.
In an action-packed and cinematic live gameplay demo, The Duviri Paradox awed audiences by showcasing the Drifter with his Kaithe (horse), along with an appearance from fan-favorite Dax warrior Teshin, working together and interacting to escape Duviri’s endless time loop. As Dax Guards hunt down the Drifter at every turn, and a dragon-like Orowyrm named Lodun haunts the expansive skies searching for blood, the combined strength of the Drifter and the allies they encounter will be key to liberating themselves from this paradoxical monochrome land and the clutches of a tyrannical king.
“‘The Duviri Paradox’ is a welcomed departure for us. It’s completely different from anything we’ve ever designed in Warframe from gameplay style to color palette and underlying themes, it’s just so uniquely its own and I think players will really enjoy the world we’ve built using layers of color as a narrative technique,” said Warframe Creative Director, Rebecca Ford. “Color is a very important thematic element in this expansion and players discovered a little of what that means from our live demo at TennoCon this year. We have much more to share about how player’s existing Arsenals fit into this visually stunning and unique space – don’t miss our Devstreams!”
In true bigger and bolder fashion during TennoLive, Warframe players were also able to participate in an in-game immersive relay event unlike any other. Players from around the world were able to unite together digitally in-game for an immersive showcase in The Duviri Amphitheater – one of Duviri’s multiple floating islands – where they could roam and explore a small slice of Duviri’s Open World setting with friends before being teleported to the amphitheaters main stage for a showcase of major story moments and a first-ever up close look at the Duviri Kaithe.
