How to play the Warframe 1999 demo

Warframe’s next major update is Warframe:1999, which will be released later this year. Before that, we can dive into a demo of the new content for the first time ever.

How to play the Warframe: 1999 demo

To play the Warframe: 1999 demo, you will need to install Warframe on your console or PC and complete the Awakening and Vor’s Prize quests, which serve as a beginner’s introduction to the game.

If you’ve already played Warframe and completed these quests, you can get started right away. The demo will be available to download and play on October 16th as an update to the base Warframe game.

The demo will allow us to play as Arthur, the protagonist of the Warframe: 1999 expansion and the prototype for the frame we know as Excalibur. We can explore Hollvania, the new area, ride the Atomicycle bike and play a special Exterminate mission.

Everyone who completes the demo will receive the Protocol Longsword skin, which will allow us to take on the appearance of Arthur’s signature melee weapon.

Is Warframe: 1999 a standalone game?

No, Warframe: 1999 is not a standalone game; It is an expansion of the Warframe base game. The two worlds in which the game is set, the past of 1999 and the future of the original system’s wars, are ultimately connected when powerful enemies from the past manage to find their way into the future.

We’re specifically going back to 1999 because an important character, Albrecht Entrati, a key pillar of Warframe history, is returning there and we need to track him down. Albrecht has moved to the forefront of lore in the current Warframe arc.
