Warframe F2P game coming to next gen with PS4

Warframe will be coming to the PS4 later this year according to Digital Extremes. This fast growing free-to-play game is a sci-fi third person action adventure that challenges players to release their inner ninja. As a co-op focused game that thrives on community and clan-building, Warframe will take full advantage of the social connectivity and community building features coming to the PS4. Some of the features involve the new enhanced Dual Shock 4 controller that offers integrated audio, touch-pad controls and gameplay streaming capabilities. Additionally, second screen functionality will come in the form of an Android or iOS app call Warframe Nexus. Warframe Nexus will allow players to perform in-game tasks and provide pertinent real-time game info while away from the PS4 system such as alerts to critical missions, crafting and building inventory, and scheduling gaming sessions with friends just to name a few.

“The fact that we’re developing Warframe for the launch of the PS4 this fall is unbelievably awesome,” said Steve Sinclair, creative director at Digital Extremes. “The irony is not lost on me that our original sci-fi concept for this game was the first ever seen footage for the PS3 generation that never came to fruition until now. Exciting times are ahead with this next gen transition.”

Players are introduced to Warframe as newly awoken Tenno warriors, thrust into a universe at war and armed with ancient exo-skeletal technology only they can operate. These Warframes bring unimaginable power and skill to the Tenno and provide players with unique offensive and defensive powers to explore and master. Players go solo or band together in squads of four to complete co-op based raids to locate ancient artifacts that will help customize and upgrade their Warframe and weapons.
