As part of its big TennoCon 2023 fan convention news blowout, developer Digital Extremes has pulled back the veil on Warframe’s next big expansion, Whisper in the Walls, as well as detailing the free-to-play sci-fi shooter’s mid-term future as its celebrates the big one-oh – including perhaps its wildest expansion yet in next year’s Warframe: 1999.
Whisper in the Walls, though – which was revealed with the huge 20-minute chunk of gameplay you can see below – is certainly no slouch on the wild front, continuing Warframe’s wonderfully weird streak by folding in mysterious multi-storey men, instantaneous dimensional shifts, and even brief glimpses of extremely out-of-place retro Earth tech – 80s mobile phones and beige PCs with CRTs to name a few – in its arresting unveiling.
As explained by Warframe creative director Rebecca Ford in a press event prior to TennoCon, Whisper in the Walls – which introduces new missions types, NPCs, bosses, and factions, alongside a new hub and procedural tile set – is all about going back to the familiar and re-contextualising everything players have seen so far in their ten-year Warframe journey.
