Developer Digital Extremes has announced thatThe Lotus Eatersprologue quest forWarframe: 1999and Sevagoth Prime Access will launch inWarframeonAugust 21, 2024. The new quest is the stepping stone between everything players know and what is yet to come.
The Lotus Eatersis a prologue quest that sets up the narrative for what players will see inWarframe: 1999. The quest was revealed atTennoCon 2024and will see players meet up with a character they’ve not interacted with for quite some time: The Lotus. In this short quest, you’re heading off to investigate a strange yet familiar sound in Sanctum Anatomica on Deimos. Somehow, this all leads back to Albrecht Entrati, but it’s up to you to uncover the links.
An exciting time to be aWarframeplayer
Warframe: 1999is a stylish upcoming expansion forWarframethat will be released in winter 2024. Between now and then,The Lotus Eaterswill help players prepare for the expansion, while another unannounced update will also give you something new to work through before heading back in time.
In addition to the new story content, June 01, 2025, will also see the arrival ofSevagoth Prime. You’ll be able to get this fancy new Warframe through Prime Access or by grinding Relics to get the Blueprints required to craft it in your foundry. It’s hard to tell if the community is more excited about Sevagoth Prime or the new story quest because it really feels likeWarframefans are being spoiled.
Those players whodropped offDestiny 2recently in the wake of Bungie’s layoffs and moved intoWarframehave a lot of work ahead of them if they want to access this new quest. While you’re able to pick Sevagoth Prime up no matter how far through the game’s story you are, you must have completed theWhispers in the Wallquest before you can playThe Lotus Eaters.
While many MMOs offer players the chance to jump into the latest content from day one without completing every expansion or quest that’s come before, I thinkWarframeplayers benefit from having to push through some of the past 11 years’ worth of content before tackling the newest quests.
The story won’t hit half as hard without the context from everything that’s come before. So, if you’re new to Warframe, get ready to play as much as you’re able to for the next couple of weeks so you can potentially enjoy this new quest with the rest of the community. Don’t worry if you can’t becauseWarframeplayers are very good about avoiding spoilers.
