The release of 'Warframe 1999: Techrot Encore' marks another chapter in the evolving game, building on the community's positive reception of the original 1999 expansion. Megan Everett, community director, expressed astonishment at the enthusiastic response from players, particularly regarding the introduction of protoframes and a revamped romance system. The 1999 expansion's unique blend of nostalgia and gameplay risk paid off, leading to profound community engagement, fan art, and an expanded outlook for future content. The team's success reshapes their approach towards future updates, underscoring the impact of player feedback.
The feedback was amazing, as we weren't sure how players were going to react to 1999. It's such a different vibe to what we've built going on 12 years now.
It was all such a risk with 1999, as we had never done romance before... The response was beyond our wildest dreams [...] and it's why this echoes update is the biggest we've ever done.
In terms of expectations you hope and you dream players will like it obviously, but we didn't expect players to connect with it as much as they did.
I've never seen an update produce as much fan art as 1999 has, and how much people have engaged with its themes.
