Not only did Warframe fans get their first look at the next-gen New War expansion, developer Digital Extremes also revealed that cross play, cross save, and a mobile version are all coming in the future.
Revealed at TennoCon 2021, Warframe’s New War expansion got a 30-minute live gameplay demo that “shocked audiences by showing Corpus Engineer Veso, Grineer Soldier Kahl-175, and even fan-favorite Dax warrior Teshin — all playable in a Quest for the first-time ever.”
This new story expansion is set to be released on all platforms in 2021 and it will provide long-awaited answers to questions that began during The Second Dream cinematic quest.
While no date was give, it was also announced that cross save, cross play, and simultaneous Warframe updates across all platforms are all in the works.
“Community is incredibly important to us and opening up Cross Play and Cross Save is just one of many more efforts we’ll take on to bring more players together including extending Warframe’s fast, fluid, action combat experience to other global gaming platforms,” said Sheldon Carter, Chief Operating Officer at DE. “We are at the very beginning of the next-generation of Warframe. We are eight years young and have the benefit of beginning our second console generation with a major game expansion that will also mark a new chapter of more story-based content our players have been asking for.”
