While it’s primarily recognized for its space-ninja motion, hideously compelling grind and huge variety of fits of space-armour to gather, Warframe‘s fans speak of its central story arc with hushed reverence. It features a rich Dune-like universe and one of my favourite plot-twists in any game. The story has been dangling on a cliffhanger for a while, but this month it’s all wrapping up. Within, an ominous teaser trailer, and loads of spoilers should you’ve not performed by at the very least the Second Dream quest.
The trailer beneath extremely recommends that with a purpose to be ready for The Sacrifice, gamers ought to full The Second Dream, The War Within, Chains of Harrow and in any case that, set off the Apostasy Prologue by coming into your shiny new private quarters aboard your ship. It’s rather a lot to do, and can solely actually apply to gamers pretty skilled with the sport, but it surely’s thrilling stuff nonetheless.
This upcoming occasion is one thing that’s been long-teased by builders Digital Extremes. As far again as final July, they launched their first trailer for this seemingly pivotal level in Warframe’s principal story arc, which I’ve handily embedded beneath. Given a few of the audio used and imagery (particularly the crumbling lunar panorama), it implies that this can be one other game-changer on par with the occasions of The Second Dream. Can lightning strike twice?
Warning: Potential SPOILERS and conjecture from this level on.
So, we’re persevering with on from the dramatic twist in our crew quarters, the place our space-mum – The Lotus – has been kidnapped by Ballas, the creepy Orokin science-bastard who could be heard narrating a lot of the Prime Warframe trailers. We’ve recognized for a while that he’s a really dangerous man certainly, however we additionally assumed he’d been lifeless for a really very long time. Apparently not a lot. We’ll most likely be rescuing her over the course of this new chapter. Probably.
Part of the ‘required reading’ for this subsequent chapter within the story is Chains of Harrow, which revolves round a Tenno that completely certain his consciousness to his Warframe, permitting him to outlive the demise of his personal flesh-and-blood physique. Could this be hinting that we’re going to should do the identical? That does appear to be the implication within the title, however I wouldn’t put it previous Digital Extremes to throw a little bit of a curveball right here.
Anyway, for these of you already caught up and ready on the discharge of the brand new story stuff later this June, you’ll be able to declare a 3-day XP booster and an Orokin tea-set ornament to your ship by coming into the promo code OLDFRIEND over here. So, what do you lot make of all this? Where do you suppose the story goes right here? It appears probably that that is the top of the principle story as we all know it, however right here’s hoping there’s a brand new arc deliberate for the long run, on the very least.
