TennoCon 2021 gave us an all-new, in-depth peek at action-RPG game Warframe's upcoming expansion, The New War. Digital Extremes unveiled a pretty extensive, 30-minute-long gameplay demo giving us a real flavour of what the expansion – and its all-out battle between the Tenno and the artificial antagonist Sentients – will bring when it arrives sometime later this year. To find out more about The New War, we got to speak to COO Sheldon Carter – and it sounds like it's going to be a huge, "really special" new experience that'll reveal just how much of a threat those Sentients are.
"The most immediate threat is, of course, what we showed during TennoCon, the Sentient invasion, lead by Erra," Carter told us of the kinds of threats in The New War. "But there is obviously more than that, which players will have to experience for themselves. However, we have a rich history of continually evolving the experience with new types of enemies that will require new tactics, builds, and cooperative strategies to combat.
"The New War is going to give us so many new opportunities to explore what’s so dangerous about the Sentients. During the demo we focused more on introducing new types of cinematic action combat embodied by the personalities of the Grineer, Corpus, and Teshin. As you can imagine, there will be much more, and many 'Warframe firsts' as we look to expand on gameplay mechanics and build out more of the world and what comes next."
