There are characters who aren’t a Tenno or the Operator - Tenshin, Kahl-175, and so on. This would be a very different quest if it was released in January 2020. Originally, Deimos was going to come after The New War - or not at all - but we had to release something last year with COVID lockdowns, and The New War was a year out. we’ll say “predicament.” But we have this really fortunate scenario, where everything we’ve done, sprawl-wise, actually has formed like a peak in The New War, where your Railjack matters, the open worlds matter, everything established in Deimos matters, which is convenient. Otherwise, you either become the suburbs, a suburban nightmare, where it’s just horizontal growth everywhere, or your vertical growth can’t support its own weight. And like, when you’re a game as a service, you kind of have to do both. There are business terms like vertical integration or horizontal integration. When it comes to online games - and I think this is a problem a lot of developers are dealing with - how do you link the new content to the old stuff without it being an increasingly unsteady Jenga tower? And frankly, now that we’re at the point where this story is going to effectively reach its conclusion, let’s say with The New War - we know we’ve set ourselves up for a very interesting next step. Yeah! So, like, how do you get mummy and daddy involved in the body grinder? Well, we had to tell it in a way that’s distinctly Warframe. the amount of bodies being thrown into the meat grinder. It reminds me a lot of Warhammer 40,000 in scope, and scale. And we went, “OK, it’s time to go all in on something human in this very ridiculous world.” Well, no. And then The Second Dream went better than we could have hoped. We were like, “Oh really? We’re doing story content? Sweet, let’s go.” We didn’t really know where we were going, per se, we just knew what emotions we felt we were capable of pulling off. From my point of view, we made The Second Dream in 2015. This depends on who you ask, and you’re asking me, so you’re only getting my answer.
Was there trepidation about wrapping this chapter? Or was it a relief to get over the cliffhanger and onto new things? We’re resolving parts of that and moving on to new things. The Lotus and her relationship with the operator has been a central pillar of Warframe. The opportunity to be able to read the script and then even make a suggestion or two was really pleasant for me, because we were able to kind of see the journey that this character has gone through and come to a place where everyone involved felt we were doing the right things for the right reason. I think the first time I read through the script - without spoiling anything - I definitely was crying by the end. She is also the voice of the Lotus, fondly known as Space Mom by the Warframe community.Īs the voice of the Lotus, I imagine this was pretty emotional for you to go through and record voiceover for. Polygon spoke with Rebecca Ford, live operations and community director with Digital Extremes. The New War finally brings that story to a close, and sets up the next era of adventures. Just when new players find their feet, Warframe pulls the rug back out from under them with a compelling, personal, and deeply human story.
But once you get past the surreal aesthetics and the faceless, voiceless protagonists, it’s easy to get into the flow of things. The game stars futuristic space ninjas mowing through waves of terrifying alien forces and space capitalists. If you take a glance at Warframe, you may not see its depth. It’s one of the wildest narratives in all of gaming, so much so that players have carefully protected the wild twist in The Second Dream quest that sets up the events of this long-awaited expansion. Warframe’s The New War quest is here on all platforms, and it is the end of a storyline that has been running for years.
