The anticipation for Warframe's 1999 expansion has been palpable, and the upcoming Techrot Encore update is set to amplify that excitement. Scheduled for release on March 19th, this update brings a nostalgic turn-of-the-millennium vibe with a thrilling twist, including the return of the ARG band as formidable boss battles.
Techrot Encore introduces four new Protoframes to the roster: Flare, Minerva, Kaya, and Velimir II, each adding unique flair to the battlefield. Alongside them, the 60th Warframe, Temple, makes a grand entrance, equipped with Techrot Subwoofer minions and a sentient guitar named Lizzie, promising to shake up the game's dynamics.
For seasoned players, the update doesn't skimp on challenges. Two new endgame stages await: Stage Defense, where you'll protect Scaldra during a memorial performance for fallen comrades, and Temporal Archimedea, a cooperative mission with Minerva and Velimir II. This stage involves tackling three consecutive random missions, with the Peely Pix system adding a layer of unpredictability through changing modifiers.
In a touching tribute, Digital Extremes honors a Make-A-Wish commitment from James Conlin with the addition of the Atomicycle racing mini-game, Ollie's Crash Course, available at the Höllvania Mall Hub arcade collection.
With the buildup to Tennocon 2025 and the relaunch of an enhanced Warframe Companion App open beta, March is shaping up to be an exhilarating time for Warframe enthusiasts. Whether you're diving into the new content or preparing for future events, there's no shortage of reasons to stay engaged with the game.
