Warframe is another one of those titles that you look at it and think, “That’s not going to succeed”, and then you play it, and like it, and you can see why so many are playing it. The mix of third-person shooting, tons of story and quests, and a wide range of customization has made the title a big hit on Steam and on consoles. And now, it’s getting even bigger, as the team have released their highly-anticipated update and expansion called Fortuna.
What does the expansion offer? Well, it brings a whole new area to the game via the slum of Fortuna, and it’s ripe with life, and not exactly the good kind:
“Down in the underground city of Fortuna, you’ll meet the Solaris: a society of body-augmented individuals who live in debt-internment under Corpus rule. The Solaris live in fear of being “repossessed” — cybernetic limb and organ removal by Nef Anyo’s repo squads. Despite living in terror and debt, the Solaris are a hopeful community who pride themselves in their efforts to terraform Venus.”
There’s a lot to explore within this new expansion, including a snow-riden place called Orb Vallis that has a very interesting history:
“Located in the eye of a snowstorm, the Orb Vallis was once a scorching wasteland. When the Solaris reactivated the Orokin coolant towers, life reappeared in the Vallis. Giant looming mushrooms sprung from the snow, and four-legged Virminks appeared in the valleys. Through their blood, sweat and tears, the Solaris terraformed this barren region into a beautiful, hospitable world — but the Corpus are destroying this delicate balance in their pursuit of profit.”
This only scratches the surface of what this Warframe expansion is going to bring you, so if you have the game, don’t miss out on it, it’ll be worth your time and money.
