Warframe’s 1999 demo and a new official song are live

Warframe’s 1999 demo is now live in the game, and Digital Extremes has also revealed a new single from the 1999 soundtrack, The Call, for your listening enjoyment. No, an official 1999 release date has not been announced just yet, but everything points to sometime in December 2024.

If you haven’t been keeping up-to-date with what’s going on in Warframe, the Koumei & the Five Fates update has a new frame to check out, a Caliban rework, and tons of QOL, among other changes. But keep on reading to find out everything you need to know about the new demo.

Warframe’s newest official song: The Call

To start off, Digital Extremes has unveiled a new single from the 1999 soundtrack: The Call. You can listen directly on YouTube above, but you can also find the song on Spotify and Apple Music. The Call was originally heard during TennoCon 2024 where the community was quickly taken with it.

As you’ll be able to hear, The Call is a very punky, very 90s track that takes a lot of inspiration from groups like Sonic Youth. This makes a lot of sense coming after On-lyne, another 1999 track from TennoCon 2024, that feels similarly 90s, taking inspiration from boy bands like NSYNC.

Give it a listen, and get yourself excited for Warframe: 1999 if you aren’t already.

Warframe’s 1999 demo is now live in the game

Warframe’s next big expansion, 1999, is set to radically expand the game in major ways with a new open-world environment, the city of Höllvania, a rideable motorcycle, Protoframe skins, infested liches, and so, so much more. And now, you can get a taste of that thanks to this demo.

According to Digital Extremes’ announcement, the following is available to check out now:

• A section of Höllvania
• The rideable Atomicycle motorcycle vehicle
• A look at the new Scaldra faction of combatants
• A fresh take on the classic ‘Extermination’ mission
• The Protokol Longsword Skin

If you want to unlock the Protokol Longsword Skin, you will have to complete the demo mission, but remember, the demo is just a taste of what’s to come, so don’t expect a big grind or tons of content. To access the demo, interact with the new console at the front of your Orbiter.

You also will need to have completed the Awakening and Vor’s Prize quests first. Although, these are very early quests, so chances are you’ve already completed them. If you’re new to the game, though, and want to see what 1999 is all about, you won’t have to get through much to try it out.
