Warframe: 1999 Unveils Techrot Encore Release Date, Adds Content and Characters

Warframe enthusiasts are in for a treat with the upcoming 1999's Techrot Encore update, set to launch on March 19th. This expansion brings a nostalgic turn-of-the-millennium vibe combined with the high-octane action fans expect from the series. The highlight of Techrot Encore is the return of the ARG band as epic boss battles, adding a thrilling twist to the gameplay.

The update introduces four new Protoframes: Flare, Minerva, Kaya, and Velimir II, expanding the roster of characters players can choose from. Alongside these, the 60th Warframe, Temple, makes its debut, accompanied by unique Techrot Subwoofer minions and a sentient guitar named Lizzie, promising to shake up the battlefield.

For those looking for a challenge, Techrot Encore offers two new endgame stages. In Stage Defense, players defend Scaldra during a memorial show for fallen comrades, while Temporal Archimedea challenges teams to complete three consecutive random missions alongside Minerva and Velimir II, with the Peely Pix system adding variability to each run.

In a heartwarming move, Digital Extremes honors a Make-A-Wish commitment from James Conlin with the introduction of the Atomicycle racing mini-game at the Höllvania Mall Hub's Ollie's Crash Course arcade.

With the anticipation building towards Tennocon 2025 and the relaunch of an upgraded Warframe Companion App open beta, March is shaping up to be an exciting time for Warframe fans. The Techrot Encore update promises to deliver a mix of nostalgia, new content, and engaging challenges that will keep players hooked.
