Here’s what you need to know.

IsWarframe 1999a new game?

No,Warframe 1999is not a new game. It’s going to be an update within the game. The title of the update does suggest that it’ll be something standalone, which is fair to assume.

Note that getting all these quests done won’t be a quick task. Getting to the Lotus Eaters will take a few dozen hours from grinding, crafting times, and clearing most of the initial Star Chart.

However, if you start now or before the initial release date of the update, you should be able to get there within a few weeks of consistent playing.
