Warframe Overview

In Warframe, players journey back to the final day of 1999, where Doctor Entrati conducted experiments on human subjects, injecting them with the Technocyte virus to create what are known as protoframes. These former volunteers are now in pursuit of Entrati, demanding answers for what was done to them. Your mission will be to delve into the past to uncover the events of that time.
