Starframe players' biggest festival, TennoCon, was officially held in the early hours of August 27. The TennoCon was the first in-person meetup in three years, and it served as a window into the future of Starframe.

New Warframe and luxurious skins are coming
This TennoCon was held offline for the first time in three years, and the nearly 5-hour TennoCon brought the latest news to all avid fans. In the Warframe Art session, community manager Megan revealed the next Warframe and appearance update plan for the Tino Warriors.
The 3D diagram of the Saint Costume Gluttony is released, and with him comes an upgraded version of his signature weapon, the Saint Costume Chewing Golden Rod and the Saint Costume Zairok.
The Origin Galaxy is about to welcome its 54th warframe, known as Dagath in English, and this warframe is based on the headless horseman and the executioner as a creative base, and blends it with a Halloween style full of atmosphere. The armor will arrive in October with the new version of Abyss of Dagath (unofficially named).
In addition to the above, in terms of appearance, this TennoCon also brings you a new appearance revelation. Luxurious skins for the Shadow of the Void and the Spirit of the Waves, both featuring the shape and characteristics of marine life, and the unique concept of fins and jellyfish will bring a different feeling to the two armors.

The new Mecha and Magic Book weapons have been exposed, and it is believed that their appearance will bring a new and curious gameplay experience to the Tino Warriors.
The new Family Heirloom Pack is now live
The 10th anniversary is a milestone for any game, and this time we've also announced a new commemorative appearance pack, the Heirloom Limited Pack, a special high-quality cosmetic pack for this 10th anniversary. Since the launch of Starframe ten years ago, the Tino Warrior has been a staunch guardian of the Origin System. With this limited, once-only heirloom pack, it's a testament to that tradition and the strong bond between Warframe and Tinno!
The heirloom look is based on samurai armor, starry sky and crystals, and is based on the usual metal design style of Star Warframe, making these two sets exude divine brilliance. This heirloom appearance brings the two warframes of Magnetism and Ice and Frost to new heights, and the limited title of 10th Anniversary Supporter will also give Star Warframe loyal fans more commemorative meaning.
At the live broadcast scene, many domestic and foreign viewers praised this gift package as a "small founder gift package", which is enough to see its importance.
The test of the national server trading system will be opened before the National Day
The trading system has always been a hot topic for domestic "Star Warframe" players, and at this midnight radio preview, the community team brought good news to all Tino warriors - the national server trading system is about to usher in the first test before the National Day.
At the beginning of the port development, the national server has been following two strategic principles, first, the pursuit of a smooth transition, moderate control of the speed of transaction opening to ensure that the market economy in the game can be more stable, second, in terms of trading rules, the rules of the national server will be consistent with the global version.
The testing of the trading system will be carried out in an orderly manner in various communities by recruitment, and the testing process and specifications will be announced in the community as soon as possible, please pay attention to the official announcement and do not miss the opportunity to participate in the test!
Digital Extremes' new game "Soulframe" new live demo announced
As a sister work of Star Warframe announced last year, Soulframe has the same bloodline as Star Warframe, and this time TennoCon also presented players with a new and complete real machine demonstration.
Compared with last year's TennoCon discussion at the art and conceptual level, this actual demonstration is more like a phased report of results. Melee gameplay like "Souls", dungeon dungeons that combine puzzle solving and combat, scenes full of primeval forest scenery, boss battles with various attack methods... These are far from enough to fully describe Soulframe, and the actual demo also shows the game's story and equipment system, which can be said to be a fairly complete stage answer.
It can be seen that every external demonstration of "Soulframe" has a big step forward, but high-quality production is a protracted battle, how to bring the heritage of "Star Warframe" into this new magical world, further meet players' expectations and watch for new games, "Soulframe" is still on the road to exploration.
Starframe: 1999 is a new creative demo that invites you to witness the development of the Origin Galaxy
The finale of TennoCon2023 is the major version of the series of "Star Warframe" - "Whispers in the Wall" and "Star Warframe 1999", which will be a series update for the development team to show their peak strength.
A new version of "Whispers in the Wall" arrives this December, and this time the Tino warriors will leave the vast void plain and return to the terrifying city of death, exploring the secrets left by the genius Albrecht Yingzhen and the people in the wall, while battling a new enemy faction, the Whisperers, in Albrecht's secret laboratory group.
Whispers in the Wall is more like the first chapter of a grand story, where players can feel the visual shock of giants in tall steampunk-style scenes, as well as high-mobility battles full of Star Warframe flavor, including challenging boss battles and interesting puzzle solving.
The annual version of Starframe 1999, which is in line with "Whispers in the Wall", will also meet all players in 2024, and in the actual demo, you can see the figure of Digital Extremes' original work "Dark Zone", a hairtied man wearing a holy sword costume, battling terrifying monsters on the ruined subway platform... As if everything was back to square one, it was more of a qualitative leap forward in the game's main line than a "reset" that was uplifting enough for avid Starframe fans.
After announcing the series version, the current creative director of "Star Warframe" Rebecca burst into tears, for Digital Extremes, this is a bold attempt to return to the original intention, and it also perfectly whets the appetite of players, let's look forward to the update of the series version together!
As a free online game where players witness its growth, Star Warframe still maintains enough creativity and productivity in content, inseparable from the support of players, this TennoCon2023 festival not only responds to the expectations and waiting of old players, but also attracts the attention of new players. Development company Digital Extremes also maintains friendly interaction with players, and has the courage to try and implement step by step on the road of development, believing that the new series version will be a passport to a better future.
