Warframe, the dark science fiction shooter game by Digital Extremes, has a deep and exciting story. This story will soon not only be told in the game, as a comic series based on Warframe is planned.
Warframe is a coop shooter set in a distant, dark future. Our solar system is dominated by fascist and degenerate clones, completely immoral corporations full of “Grofit-greed” and repugnant mutant aliens. Only the Tenno, a type of space ninjas with biomechanical suits, fight against the hostile scum after a long cryosleep.
Until now, you could only experience this battle as a Tenno in the game itself, but soon the bizarre Warframe universe will be brought to you closer as a comic.
Warframe – Comic series with free start
Matt Hawkins, the CEO of the comic publisher Top Cow, is friends with Sheldon Carter, the head of Warframe. Therefore, Carter showed his buddy Warframe about a year ago, and since then Hawkins has been fascinated by the game’s dark world. So it was only a matter of time before they thought about creating a Warframe comic.
A comic series about Warframe is now a done deal. The first issue will be free. You can download it for free approximately three weeks from now and view it digitally, or you can go to the San Diego Comic Con or the Tenno Con. There you will receive a free print edition while supplies last. The series is set to officially launch between September and November 2017 and will consist of five issues. However, these will no longer be free.
Warframe Comic – Human and new villains
The story of the comics revolves around the Grineer, a people of genetically defective clones who have established a military dictatorship on Earth. Their General Vor occupies an island and searches for an artifact from the Orokin era, a golden and long-lost time.
The Warframe Excalibur wants to prevent Vor from getting the artifact and confronts the clone general. While the Grineer are merely cannon fodder in the game, they are meant to receive a bit more humanity in the comic. Especially General Vor might appear almost sympathetic according to Matt Hawkins.
It fits that he is probably not the only and last villain in the comic. In addition to a completely new type of Grineer, a new arch-villain is also set to make their debut in the comic before they appear in the game.
