Warframe fans need to keep December 12 circled in their calendars, as it could prove to be a big day for the popular live-service title. Although nothing is concrete at the moment, Warframe's presence at The Game Awards on December 12 could be good news for gamers waiting for the 1999 expansion.
The longevity of Warframe is extremely impressive. Upon its original release, Warframe was met with middling reviews, although it did a good job of retaining players as a free-to-play title. In the years since, Warframe has released tons of expansions and is practically unrecognizable from the title that initially launched back in 2013. It is consistently among the most-played Steam games, and its expansion onto consoles and mobile devices has helped keep Warframe's community in a very healthy place.

2Developer Digital Extremes continues to confirm that the upcoming Warframe: 1999 expansion will be released in 2024, although no date has officially been confirmed yet. With just one month left, the studio is running out of time to meet this deadline. However, a recent tweet by Warframe could be big news for fans. The tweet in question confirms that players who "want to know more about Warframe: 1999" can tune in to The Game Awards on December 12, with no more information given beyond this.
The tweet is vague, perhaps deliberately so. If Warframe: 1999 is going to be released in 2024, then a release date needs to be announced soon. Arguably, there is no better place to do it than The Game Awards, which last year broke its own viewership records as one of the biggest gaming events of the year. It would even be a perfect moment for a stealth drop of Warframe: 1999, although that is entirely speculative. Right now, all that is known is that Warframe: 1999 will be at The Game Awards 2024 on December 12, and hopefully this will offer more insight as to when the expansion will be released.
With Warframe: 1999 promising to bring some of the biggest changes to the game so far, it could be the perfect time for gamers to jump in for the first time. It has a steep but rewarding learning curve, and is arguably one of the games with the best PvE combat on the market right now. While the game does have microtransactions, players are under no obligation to spend any money in Warframe - it's still a blast, regardless.
