Warframe got a new chapter, The Old Peace, and a trailer has been released by Digital Extremes to showcase some gameplay and story bits. Warframe has been with us since 2013, that means this live service title has been operating for around 12 years without slowing down a bit. Hopefully things can keep going after they release Soulframe, their new and upcoming live service that seems to take the ideas of Warframe way back to some pseudo fantasy setting way less mechanized than what we see in Warframe.
Warframe just got deeper
People looking to jump into Warframe can do so now, the game is free to play and some people even claim its fair compared to other free to play models. However, be ready to spend a lot of time grinding if you want to get good at the game, it is nice that you can get better by just playing but perhaps they should make the new player experience a bit better since it falls on similar pits to other free to play live service titles. It has been 12 years and Digital Extremes must find a balance in trying to board new people in who wants to have a chance.
Games like this are often a massive sink of time, because they require you to do dailies, play in events and grind a ton of currency to keep moving forward and not fall behind. Most people don’t really have this amount of time anymore, and this is why petitions like Stop Killing Games are important because if things go well for it that means we won’t have to fight against FOMO anymore. If you are on the fence with jumping to play Warframe perhaps this is the right time to do so thanks to the new story expansion that Digital Extremes cooked.
