what is it, over 8 years now??? man, the origin system has been through a lot... from the days when warframe abilities were mod slots... and now we get an 'official warframe anime' DE, you all should do more of these as pretty much every tenno already agreed back when the little fortuna animatic was made.
@@MEYH3M I kinda miss the Beta days, on occasion. The game was so refreshingly unique, and the developer then wasn't owned by a poultry company (or Tencent). 🤷🏻♀️
man how time has flown... who remembers when getting galatine was a big deal... either way, shorts or a full on series id be happy.... more of the warframe lore in any official capacity is always a good thing
I was thinking just recently that Riot's LoL adaption Arcane proved that you CAN successfully do a full adaptation of a video game which lacks a traditionally linear narrative. Honestly, I could see them making a full series out of Warframe, starting in the Orokin era with the creation of the Sentients and precolonization of Tau, maybe an episode focusing on Parvos Granum and the birth of the Corpus, and then the Zariman incident just before the Sentients return and the Old War begins, leading to the rediscovery of the Zariman and the birth of the Tenno. If told properly it could be massive.
After finding out about Styanax's abilities it turns out at 3:44 he used his 3rd ability on the people fused to the Leviathan. it is a buff to his allies. This detail is so cool to me showing that the Tenno and their warframes are able to differentiate friend and foe with their abilities in the universe and no collateral damage or harm to innocents.
To be fair, his friend/foe distinction didn't save those people from his hailstorm of spears. Clearly, to whatever extent he's able to apply an IFF filter, they still got wiped out.
So cool. I love the Spartan style of the new Warframe. And the interaction between the Warframes and normal people. Not long term gigs, but a powerful weapon that could be called and change the tide in the most critical moment. Then leaving, only to be seen again in their most dire time of need.

Don't underestimate the power of propaganda. I highly doubt that corpus or grineer are factually stating what a single Warframe can do to their ranks.

So it's more like.. warframe ambushes are rare, and even those get covered up.
@@bookfishThis was confirmed to be the case by DE's Lore Cephalon who's answer our questions. Even though we technically number in the millions, in the actual universe our number is in the thousands at most. When you're covering an entire solar system including colonized moons, even 1000 to 10,000 Warframes warring against Infested, Corpus, Grineer, Sentients, Orokin, and Narmer, those numbers will be easy to keep from the public eye or blame on accidents. As for why we are heavily underestimated; do not forget in lore we do actually lose and get captured by either Corpus or Grineer. The Grineer do not experiment on Warframes like Alad V, and only Alad V realized that the occupants of a Warframe is an old era Orokin/Human infested with the Infestation. Neither group is aware that when they capture and destroy a Warframe, the actual Tenno is still alive and just remakes the Warframe through Helminth (Hunhow with the Sentients is aware, and so is Ballas, but no one else). Us having Helminth who keeps full blown memory copies of how we prefer and use our Warframes so when we lose one and go back to our arsenal, he just spits up and loads up a replacement as if nothing happened down to the same paint job and armaments on the body (Helminth is confirmed to be what repairs, maintains, and replaces our Warframes). Final piece to that misinformation puzzle is that in the cases of Corpus and Grineer who do manage to see the full might of a Warframe + Tenno, most do not survive to even spread the information. For some strange reason, both factions leave the truth about the Tenno as a need-to-know bases, and most do not need-to-know likely because of how damaging it would be to morality if their troops knew they were up against Immortal Hellspawn from the worst nightmares of the Terminator whom so happen to be allied with the last known family of Orokin (Deimos). You know how many of the troops would defect, despite their brainwashing within both Corpus or Grineer, knowing that the war of attrition is a losing one no matter what they throw against the Tenno with the only way to "win" would be to cannibalize your own empire? It isn't like they can escape from us, not for long. We reoutinely find Capture targets amongst Infested ships for crying out loud. We are the only ones besides the Sentients and the Myconians who do not fear the Infested. We find Capture targets hidden in the Void. You bet your ass the powers that be keep it on the hush hush how truly dangerous we are. Even on the radio channels we back into, we hear Grineer talking about how the Tenno scourge is not as fearsome as some are lead to believe, and to not buy into the stories just before the Grineer speaking against Tenno gets assassinated by one.
*Spoiler warning* Oh for sure, Bookfish and RazielTheUnborn really hit the nail on the head with it, the Tenno are kind of "legends" to the people of the origin system. There was several hundred years between when they went dormant after the old war and when they woke up here prior to the new war. Remember that the warframes were not always tenno. Remember in the sacrifice they explained how ballas created the warframes using helminth, and the frames rebelled against the orokin, so the orokin used various means to warp their minds to no avail, not gaining control until they found the victims of the zariman and began transference therapy, where they had the ability to resonate with the minds of the warframes and ease their suffering. Hence why you have creatures like the stalker. It is a warframe with it's original consciousness that has been consumed by hatred for the tenno, considering the tenno sided with the orokin in the old war. Based on the timeline of the lore it doesn't seem like the tenno have been awake all that long between the second dream and new war cycles. You don't really see a timeline jump until the new war and the narmer stuff. Plus it's like they say no one on the end of a tenno's blade lives to witness them, hence why we call tenno space ninjas.
@MLCAPE to be clear, the Stalker hates us for the night of Naga Drums, when the empire fell, not for being orokin aligned to start with. We betrayed his masters and effectively ended his "chance" to be with his beloved(though the orokin would never have allowed it)
@@5chneemensch138 Isn't fps thing almost every single anime ever? Also Digital Extreme budget is nowhere as massive as other anime budget. And considering they have never made a anime to experiment once... This is a respectable anime short. And you must know how difficult it is to _Actually_ animate anything in the first place
Something about the raw power of Yeeting a spear at full force just exites me, and that final move as well, Holy hell this spartan lookin warframe is going to make an excelent addition to my collection.
@@lorzon A good yeet of the stickblade was the signifier of someone who'd keep you fed through great hunting. Would make sense for us to keep this admiration for a skilled spearman somewhere inside.
We're the only spear throwers more or less. Being able to throw things with accuracy and and decent distance is entirely unique to us.@@michapiasta3072
The sheer DISCOMFORT radiating out of this situation is palpable. You've done amazing to worldbuild and deliver an impactful moment in such a short amount of time. I just now got into this game, and I'll definitely enjoy playing as this beauty at some point in the near future.
@@Warframe the @Bossboy9540 guy gives you an interesting idea. What do you think about making your own Arcrane-like anime telling us some VEILED story?) We would be so happy about it!
Me too. I really love the game but I feel like I'm on top of everything. I wish DE significantly nerfed the player (controversial I know), but when I play I just mindlessly blow up every room and boss. It feels the same as watching some brainless tv!
@@matthewjw98 Yeah, every animation makes the tenno look great, because its less enemies and more purposeful interactions. The game is boring as fuck when you get average to good stuff
Warframe has a story and spectacle to it that I think animation is uniquely suited to capturing. The abstract tale and artstyle that DE has honed over the years would fit wonderfully into this kind of medium and they could make a lot of money doing so.
What I want is to see every warframe in there natural habitat before the end of the empire and when the Tenno decided to disobey or whhile they obey the orokin but never reveal what the Tenno is just only see them with there warframe no words needed
I wish we had one of these for every Warframe and possibly even a series overall... would be so awesome for new players coming in to enjoy the lore before they jump in and become a part of the world.
This game never ceases to amazing me. For a free to play game the quality of some of the content is more than most paid triple A games. The animators, sound designers, voice actors, and music crew really did amazing on this. Nice job DE.
I have a feeling this is basically new infested lore with the whole sacrifice of the people thing but steinx and his entire introduction was so f****** awesome I can't even describe it please d e bring us this glorious world and bring us this amazing Warframe
Been a long time since I heard the name leviathan, much less looked at the thing with any feeling short of 'meh.' This did a wonderful job of showing both just how scary the infested are, but how even more terrifying a warframe is. Kudos, fams
The Leviathan is a sea creature, most often just a very large fish. As such, the name made no sense given the appearance of the creature. Also, the video had no infested in it (other than the Warframe itself, of course.)
@@joshberstecher470 Nothing in the video was in any way 'Warframe' related, other than the cameo appearance by Styanax. None of the characters, locations, or technology, had any connection to Warframe lore.
I am blown away by this. I love how much emotion this had. Not just the video as a whole, but Styanax themselves. Despite not saying a single word, they showed feelings/character that even a lot of vocal characters in other games lack. I really do hope that the rest of the Warframes - past and future - show this kind of development.
is it really? because you must have not seen any animation ever to make such a claim, what on earth makes this "absolutely stunning", its completely generic
@@Decenium so people can't admire animation now? Animation like any art form is a skill that takes years of dedication and practice to master and yes it can be done badly. This really was not that bad. Nothing wrong with people admiring art. If it's so generic why don't you make an animated production. You'd be surprised to know that just 5 minutes can take many hours and days to complete.
I can't stop seeing it, I really love Warframe, it's been my life since I first play back in 2014. I cannot be more proud of all of the work behind everything they made. So happy to be a part of this
I'm interested in this new warframe, as much as I like wizard type frames that just seem to bend the laws of the universe, a knight/spartan like frame is badass as well.
More! Like a frame lore, how they became one. Like I can imagine Limbo while he was still living. He's like a teacher and was a close friend of Margulis. Or a confidant of someone who knew what the tennos were going through.
Hate to break it to you, but the origin story of every warframe is "and then the Orokin seeded their victim with the infestation virus and turned them into a warframe".
I've been playing the game for 6 years, and I am so happy cuz its the first game I truly feel in love from the very beginning. Can't wait for another 6 years (hopefully)
Before anyone guesses his abilities first imma guess it rn, a dash 3:57 , a buffing ability for allies 3:47, a AOE 4:14 , and a exalted weapon 3:55 then the weapons he was holding in the beginning are ones that are gonna ship with him when he comes out.
Instead of a just a dash, it should be two quick steps, then Leonidas kick that ragdolls all but bosses. Have some sound that reminds you of something along the "this is Sparta" line. It'd be a real meme of an ability.
wrong sorry. His 1 throws his spear and impales enemies, with an aoe when the spear hits a wall. His 2 summons his shield to hit enemies and drain their armor and shield. His 3 draws enemy attention to Styanax for a team energy and shield regen. His 4 calls down a bunch of spears to barrage the ground.
Amazed that there's only 50 frames, with as much interesting stuff as the game has, it feels like so much more. Excited to see this one in action! I also agree that I would love to see more animations like this for the WF universe that are not solely focused on the player-character, it's great to get into expanded story elements that add more flavor or plot points that haven't been expounded on in-game yet.
I've recently been visiting Warframe again and contemplating how much the Tenno are merely a Hammer of Force in a greater world of many arching plots, how fleeting our connections are with individuals, and yet how memorable each individual I come across are. The animation was pretty cool, and I had some mild nostalgia over the monster's animation and my early memories of Akira. Nice impact for 5 minutes of action and color. So much delivered with limited dialog.
Well, Greek mythology has a lot of figures that fought giant monsters. Seems fitting for a Roman concept to fold out from that. Different yet inspired.
bruuuuuh I wish we had an actual warframe animated series. I'd binge watch the heck out of it. also, Styanax deserved a unique spear and shield melee weapon instead of a speargun for sure.
I wonder if Styanax got a signature Sword and Shield, too. If not, I will need to start looking into what weapon to run with Styanax... Secoundary too.

Oh my dearest Void soul... this animation made me trembling like in a fever! This is so well designed, so well done, that I wished it was a full bunch of series! For all of the childs! For all of the warframes that exists in the game! God bless me, this is so AWESOME!!!
I saw the very first images being almost still and thought "Oh, so it's not really anime, more of a slideshow. Still, very cool" and then you immediatel knocked it out of the park and proved how naive I was to ever doubt you. Spectacular job, you never fail to surpass my expectations
I need so many more of these animated shorts! Hell a full anime of the story would be fantastic. Could take the point of view of non-tenno for the first part with their intro and such, allowing the audience to see a lot of them.
If this animation was DE's way of testing if they should make a series about Warframe, then HELL YES!!! The animation is TOP TIER, and Warframe's lore is RICH!!!! I'm gonna claim it and say "I can't wait for episode 1 on Netflix"
I have been studying what people would call medieval type weapons and how they were used in history, so it is cool to see a frame based on what I know.
I would pay to watch an anime series of each warframe lore and story. Maybe a movie of the Orikin war as origins. Then perhaps a spin off separate stories of the different factions of the syndicates on how they came to be. So much potential.
I might read too much into this but I think that's the point. Woman only wants to see her brother again - push emotions away, target first Scientists as well - shoving emotion aside for his goal. And how immoral are his actions. And then there is Styanax who is warframe of course, so he cannot show emotions in any other way than body language. He might be a warrior and a killing flesh-machine, but he's a selfless and honorable man. I know something like move of a hand is a small thing but what is more important to a warrior? Word or action?
@@sirith9157 by emotion in animation, I don't only mean faces, rather the flow of the animation feels non fluid regarding the perspectives at all times. for example what I don't mean here is the originality of the storyboard or the way it's portrayed here, it's just the animation rigidness. could be 3x better at least but this is in no means bad, it's quite the piece. and I'm just surprised they picked up hand drawn animation so well over cinematics we used to get.
@@Jan-ichigatsu To be honest, it's unlikely to be the same people doing THIS animation as have done CGI in the past. DE simply and most likely outsourced the animation/storyboarding to an animation company, is all. That being said, it is a wonderful thing, indeed! I would like to see character moreso than just action for the sake of action, but this WAS a very fun watch! DE never disappoints, imho ^_^
@@Jan-ichigatsu Yeah, I noticed that too. Had they spent a little more time doing some tweaks to the animation, I would've gotten goosebumps. Right now, it does feel sort of rigid
I love how everyone calls warframes “relics” as if they where old and did not at some point topple the entire orocin empire. Warframe were and always will be the pinnacle of their creation. Perfect war mashines
"Mashines" **potato with toothpicks for limbs bullet jumps in, raises hand, summons barrage of potatos from the sky, then transforms into a wace of mashed potato and leaves the screen**
Don’t exactly know how many years I’ve put into this game but I still love it through all the changes. And the lore just makes me even more excited to keep playing
Honestly this looks amazing, I could actually picture different tenno appearing in side stories. Just because "we" aren't around doesn't mean the universe stops moving. Other tenno exist and their stories and the stories of those they encounter keep moving onwards.

It is a warframe with it's original consciousness that has been consumed by hatred for the tenno, considering the tenno sided with the orokin in the old war.
Based on the timeline of the lore it doesn't seem like the tenno have been awake all that long between the second dream and new war cycles. You don't really see a timeline jump until the new war and the narmer stuff. Plus it's like they say no one on the end of a tenno's blade lives to witness them, hence why we call tenno space ninjas.
@MLCAPE to be clear, the Stalker hates us for the night of Naga Drums, when the empire fell, not for being orokin aligned to start with.
We betrayed his masters and effectively ended his "chance" to be with his beloved(though the orokin would never have allowed it)
Holy hell, I was not expecting this level of quality. Nicely done
We love to hear it! Cheers, Tenno!
@@Warframe Yo will this be new quest storyline exploring this frame? Like who is his tenno if he has any or he is an umbra like Excalibur!?
@@krsmanjovanovic8607 The Quest is gonna be about post New War stuff, this animation will have a lore expansion in a Laverian.
@@krsmanjovanovic8607 I bet it's gonna be alive like umbra, I wanna see them making a convo with drawings/texts
@@Warframe please make a complete show of warframe 😭
The Quality of this is so damn good... and the frame of my dreams!!
(HAPPY JAVLOK NOISES)
Sadly he doesn't have an exalted spear and shield.....
@@marinescu0511 He's too chad for that
The "quality" is everything but good. Facial animations are non-existent and the fps is single digits.
@@5chneemensch138 Isn't fps thing almost every single anime ever?
Also Digital Extreme budget is nowhere as massive as other anime budget. And considering they have never made a anime to experiment once... This is a respectable anime short.
And you must know how difficult it is to _Actually_ animate anything in the first place
Something about the raw power of Yeeting a spear at full force just exites me, and that final move as well, Holy hell this spartan lookin warframe is going to make an excelent addition to my collection.
It's primal. We are evolved to do exactly that.
@@lorzon A good yeet of the stickblade was the signifier of someone who'd keep you fed through great hunting.
Would make sense for us to keep this admiration for a skilled spearman somewhere inside.
@@lorzon Yeah, humans are the best spear throwhers out of all animals, there is no projectile in nature that can match ours.
We're the only spear throwers more or less. Being able to throw things with accuracy and and decent distance is entirely unique to us.@@michapiasta3072
The sheer DISCOMFORT radiating out of this situation is palpable. You've done amazing to worldbuild and deliver an impactful moment in such a short amount of time.
I just now got into this game, and I'll definitely enjoy playing as this beauty at some point in the near future.
Beautiful animation. Fantastic job guys.
Thanks a ton, Tenno. Happy you enjoyed it!
@@Warframe please make your own anime this is just to good
A Warframe anime would be amazing
@@Warframe the @Bossboy9540 guy gives you an interesting idea. What do you think about making your own Arcrane-like anime telling us some VEILED story?) We would be so happy about it!
yess
They really nailed the style there with the anime aesthetic. Love the shots at 4:05 and 4:14 because of how they capture the scale of Styanax's power.
I'm not even playing anymore but stuff like this is tempting.
Keep an eye on "Soulframe" it just may peak your interest again.
Come back, Tenno. The Zariman needs you.
Me too. I really love the game but I feel like I'm on top of everything. I wish DE significantly nerfed the player (controversial I know), but when I play I just mindlessly blow up every room and boss. It feels the same as watching some brainless tv!
@@matthewjw98 Yeah, every animation makes the tenno look great, because its less enemies and more purposeful interactions. The game is boring as fuck when you get average to good stuff
You do get him for free if you log in after Veilbreaker launches.
Just saying
Warframe has a story and spectacle to it that I think animation is uniquely suited to capturing. The abstract tale and artstyle that DE has honed over the years would fit wonderfully into this kind of medium and they could make a lot of money doing so.
Looks amazing! If possible, please give us an animated show DE!
There is SO MUCH lore, I don’t see why they couldn’t
Hell, an Old War anime would be the bomb
What I want is to see every warframe in there natural habitat before the end of the empire and when the Tenno decided to disobey or whhile they obey the orokin but never reveal what the Tenno is just only see them with there warframe no words needed
Yes please
Bro asking as if they were Valve or Riot lol
The lore is so scrambled in-game. They really need a tie-in to explain a lot of stuff.
I wish we had one of these for every Warframe and possibly even a series overall... would be so awesome for new players coming in to enjoy the lore before they jump in and become a part of the world.
Or better yet a series or a mini film about each warframe
(Just an idea but it would be interesting to see)
This game never ceases to amazing me. For a free to play game the quality of some of the content is more than most paid triple A games.
The animators, sound designers, voice actors, and music crew really did amazing on this. Nice job DE.
DE Doesn't bite the Hand that Feeds them, no wonder they are so high up the Charts now.
Just like league. It just goes to show how a supportive community as well as a open dev team can thrive for years
Missed the part where Styanax had to redo this boss fight 50 times to get the rare drops
I have a feeling this is basically new infested lore with the whole sacrifice of the people thing but steinx and his entire introduction was so f****** awesome I can't even describe it please d e bring us this glorious world and bring us this amazing Warframe
You're actually spot on. In the leverian, the philantrophist was interested in infested research, that's why it made the leviathan.
Been a long time since I heard the name leviathan, much less looked at the thing with any feeling short of 'meh.'
This did a wonderful job of showing both just how scary the infested are, but how even more terrifying a warframe is. Kudos, fams
The Leviathan is a sea creature, most often just a very large fish. As such, the name made no sense given the appearance of the creature. Also, the video had no infested in it (other than the Warframe itself, of course.)
@@trexpaddock I believe the land version of Leviathan is Behemoth, no?
@@boopie577 That name would have been a vastly better fit. Well spotted.
@@trexpaddock I believe it was implied the creature, itself, was a type of Infested experiment. If not, what else was it?
@@joshberstecher470 Nothing in the video was in any way 'Warframe' related, other than the cameo appearance by Styanax. None of the characters, locations, or technology, had any connection to Warframe lore.
I would pay good money to see any part of The New War animated like this
I'm quivering with anticipation for the 100th Warframe anime!
Finally a gladiator tenno I've been waiting for one of that them for a minute cannot wait
Think you meant gladiator warframe since tenno are the operators/pilots but yeah :)
I am blown away by this. I love how much emotion this had. Not just the video as a whole, but Styanax themselves. Despite not saying a single word, they showed feelings/character that even a lot of vocal characters in other games lack. I really do hope that the rest of the Warframes - past and future - show this kind of development.
Looks cool. Can't believe we're already on 50! Thank you, DE.
We really need more little story/animations like these, they're sooo gooodd
That was dope omg
keep doing this please
look at all those ppl loving it please keep it like that
Maan, to stick around for this one....
"keep us close, Tenno, you won't need to spend your orokin cell on me- we will keep you close."
Absolutely stunning animation, I cant wait to try him out when Veilbreaker drops
When does it come out?
@@-justinbakerking-9108 September
is it really? because you must have not seen any animation ever to make such a claim, what on earth makes this "absolutely stunning", its completely generic
@@Decenium Does it even matter? Just let people enjoy stuff
@@Decenium so people can't admire animation now?
Animation like any art form is a skill that takes years of dedication and practice to master and yes it can be done badly. This really was not that bad.
Nothing wrong with people admiring art. If it's so generic why don't you make an animated production. You'd be surprised to know that just 5 minutes can take many hours and days to complete.
At 0:10, a closer examination of the mural would have triggered a trial which would have granted Aria a nigh-invulnerable Power Suit.
Got chills. Animation, music, sfx, voice acting, everything was so well done.
I can't stop seeing it, I really love Warframe, it's been my life since I first play back in 2014. I cannot be more proud of all of the work behind everything they made. So happy to be a part of this
HOLY MOLY that looks amazing. would watch again, and in a ten hour version 12/10
I'm interested in this new warframe, as much as I like wizard type frames that just seem to bend the laws of the universe, a knight/spartan like frame is badass as well.
Always been a fan of the disciplined, martial side of the Tenno
lol you probably maining dante nowadays
@@ornitorrincoc1borgue767 I got my wish!
Well damn, this is something I want to watch daily
Now THIS is the type of thing that makes me want to play a Frame. This was amazing from start to finish. Superb job, guys.
Can you pls make a short film for every Warframe in this style
Because this was dope as hell
I love styanax design man, specially his weapons, i really want to hop in onto Warframe now, I REALLY WANT TO DAMNIT!
More! Like a frame lore, how they became one. Like I can imagine Limbo while he was still living. He's like a teacher and was a close friend of Margulis. Or a confidant of someone who knew what the tennos were going through.
Ya do know the storyline in this clip had nothing to do with the origin of the new Frame.
@@uberfu doesn't make it a bad idea, why not both?
@@uberfu Yes. That's why I said maybe they make one that is based on frame lore. Like frame lore episode: Limbo.
Imagine revenant
Hate to break it to you, but the origin story of every warframe is "and then the Orokin seeded their victim with the infestation virus and turned them into a warframe".
I've been playing the game for 6 years, and I am so happy cuz its the first game I truly feel in love from the very beginning. Can't wait for another 6 years (hopefully)
The way it just unleashes it's blades made me feel like it said "MAY THE FLAME OF AERIES ERASE YOU!"
*BY GOD'S LIGHT I SMITE YOU!*
*Mars, Bringer of War intensifies*
Doooood we need a full series of this for warframe, this is so sick, the animation was awesome.
Before anyone guesses his abilities first imma guess it rn, a dash 3:57 , a buffing ability for allies 3:47, a AOE 4:14 , and a exalted weapon 3:55 then the weapons he was holding in the beginning are ones that are gonna ship with him when he comes out.
Instead of a just a dash, it should be two quick steps, then Leonidas kick that ragdolls all but bosses. Have some sound that reminds you of something along the "this is Sparta" line. It'd be a real meme of an ability.
wrong sorry. His 1 throws his spear and impales enemies, with an aoe when the spear hits a wall. His 2 summons his shield to hit enemies and drain their armor and shield. His 3 draws enemy attention to Styanax for a team energy and shield regen. His 4 calls down a bunch of spears to barrage the ground.
@@brother_sothoth the fact that his 4 isn't an exalteed wpn kinda disappoint me
@@darky1374 yeah i agree, his kit is pretty meh and he's just bland in general.
Amazed that there's only 50 frames, with as much interesting stuff as the game has, it feels like so much more. Excited to see this one in action! I also agree that I would love to see more animations like this for the WF universe that are not solely focused on the player-character, it's great to get into expanded story elements that add more flavor or plot points that haven't been expounded on in-game yet.
5 years playing this game.and I have never been this excited for a warframe , DAMN ITS GOOD
I was shocked to this new level of top quality artwork from a several year old game!!!!
I've recently been visiting Warframe again and contemplating how much the Tenno are merely a Hammer of Force in a greater world of many arching plots, how fleeting our connections are with individuals, and yet how memorable each individual I come across are. The animation was pretty cool, and I had some mild nostalgia over the monster's animation and my early memories of Akira. Nice impact for 5 minutes of action and color. So much delivered with limited dialog.
What a strange enemy for a spartan type frame to fight. Looks cool though, hope he doesn't launch messed up like the other frames in recent memory.
Well, Greek mythology has a lot of figures that fought giant monsters. Seems fitting for a Roman concept to fold out from that. Different yet inspired.
The Hekatonchires is somewhat similar to it.
@@nulloperations I more or less meant biological blob type enemy. Fighting giant monsters is totally cool.
Your prayers have been answered, he is absurdly good
My goodness! I love you guys for putting so much effort into the game and lore, I huuuuuuugely appreciate it! This is BEAUTIFUL
Now I feel the need for that warframe ,and I need it now
I haven’t played much warframe recently but this makes me want to go back, just the sheer quality of the animation is astonishing
Got goosebumps... Incredible work!
bruuuuuh I wish we had an actual warframe animated series. I'd binge watch the heck out of it. also, Styanax deserved a unique spear and shield melee weapon instead of a speargun for sure.
I would like to get more Warframe animations. This one was amazing!
Or a mini movie perhaps that would be better
I wonder if Styanax got a signature Sword and Shield, too. If not, I will need to start looking into what weapon to run with Styanax... Secoundary too.
*Starts playing Pantheon's theme while destroying enemies with Spear and Shield*
I hope channel moderator/admin will see that message, because I want to provide much better ukrainian subtitles, but don't know how.

I wouldn't mind a warframe anime
Oh my dearest Void soul... this animation made me trembling like in a fever! This is so well designed, so well done, that I wished it was a full bunch of series! For all of the childs! For all of the warframes that exists in the game! God bless me, this is so AWESOME!!!
Love it, many will main Styanax now!
wow this was so amazing, I love the story line. It was absolutely golden. can't wait to see more from you. Warframe.
Ngl all the warframes should have a little animation like this specially umbra he fits perfectly with something like this for his backstory
More warframe animations, pls. I would love one for every, or most warframes.
Imagine this is just the pilot episode of an entire warframe anime. That would be awesome
I saw the very first images being almost still and thought "Oh, so it's not really anime, more of a slideshow. Still, very cool" and then you immediatel knocked it out of the park and proved how naive I was to ever doubt you. Spectacular job, you never fail to surpass my expectations
Hold up. @Netflix I'm gonna need you to fund a Warframe show and let the team that made this, run with it. This was so freakin cool! 😎
Suddenly.. goosebumps. Good job, guys, very well done! Thank you for this piece of art!
The 100th warframe better have a movie
I need so many more of these animated shorts! Hell a full anime of the story would be fantastic. Could take the point of view of non-tenno for the first part with their intro and such, allowing the audience to see a lot of them.
If this animation was DE's way of testing if they should make a series about Warframe, then HELL YES!!! The animation is TOP TIER, and Warframe's lore is RICH!!!! I'm gonna claim it and say "I can't wait for episode 1 on Netflix"
The music in this is incredible!! I need it released ASAP
This is brilliant. We need more of this! We also need more MIGHTY SEERS
The sound in this video is godlike!!! Amazing trailer
I have been studying what people would call medieval type weapons and how they were used in history, so it is cool to see a frame based on what I know.
I heard spears were used to stab people, not sure though
Medieval? I think that type of warrior is Greek, which would place him in antiquity, predating the Medieval period.
I would pay to watch an anime series of each warframe lore and story. Maybe a movie of the Orikin war as origins. Then perhaps a spin off separate stories of the different factions of the syndicates on how they came to be. So much potential.
This is why I enjoy being a tenno the lore and combat
That bold red text flashing on the screen reminded me of kill la kill
Y'all should do what Riot Games did and just... make an anime. You've got enough content for it, you could tell a baller ass story. Just... DEW IT!!!
Those crisp animations and color choice...simply fantastic in every way!
4:25 dam they let them keep the monsuno
thanks for the free frame :)
oh, and you know.. the awesome game you've been supporting for this long.
*WE'VE COME SO FAR.*
*tears of joy*
@@Warframe You are all Awesome~💙
Thanks for not giving us a mindless grind to get this frame, all new frames should be a login gift, primes can stay a grind
although it lacks emotion sometimes, the animation quality overall is insane. I could never think they could animate hand drawn this well suddenly.
I might read too much into this but I think that's the point.
Woman only wants to see her brother again - push emotions away, target first
Scientists as well - shoving emotion aside for his goal. And how immoral are his actions.
And then there is Styanax who is warframe of course, so he cannot show emotions in any other way than body language. He might be a warrior and a killing flesh-machine, but he's a selfless and honorable man. I know something like move of a hand is a small thing but what is more important to a warrior?
Word or action?
@@sirith9157 by emotion in animation, I don't only mean faces, rather the flow of the animation feels non fluid regarding the perspectives at all times.
for example what I don't mean here is the originality of the storyboard or the way it's portrayed here, it's just the animation rigidness. could be 3x better at least but this is in no means bad, it's quite the piece.
and I'm just surprised they picked up hand drawn animation so well over cinematics we used to get.
@@Jan-ichigatsu To be honest, it's unlikely to be the same people doing THIS animation as have done CGI in the past. DE simply and most likely outsourced the animation/storyboarding to an animation company, is all.
That being said, it is a wonderful thing, indeed! I would like to see character moreso than just action for the sake of action, but this WAS a very fun watch! DE never disappoints, imho ^_^
@@Jan-ichigatsu Yeah, I noticed that too. Had they spent a little more time doing some tweaks to the animation, I would've gotten goosebumps. Right now, it does feel sort of rigid
>free for a limited time
oh we're ALL Styanax mains now
Wow, a mix between the Warframe, Fate, Arcane and BNA looks amazing!
Glad I'm not the only person who noticed "Unlimited Spearworks" in action.
Can't wait to get my hands on it :D
Now I kind of really want a slenderman Corpus with an Akira monster as an actual Warframe boss lmao, this was awesome!
I love how everyone calls warframes “relics” as if they where old and did not at some point topple the entire orocin empire. Warframe were and always will be the pinnacle of their creation. Perfect war mashines
"Mashines"

Incredible! Thank you!
This looks like a mix of Tron:Uprising and Star Wars
How's this " star wars " ???? When does star wars look like this man?
Great now I want this for every single warframe :/ That was so beautiful I can cry.
The weight of the combat abilities is reminiscent of a FATE anime. 37/10, keep making anime forever thanks.
Don’t exactly know how many years I’ve put into this game but I still love it through all the changes. And the lore just makes me even more excited to keep playing
Honestly this looks amazing, I could actually picture different tenno appearing in side stories. Just because "we" aren't around doesn't mean the universe stops moving. Other tenno exist and their stories and the stories of those they encounter keep moving onwards.
for the Lotus and the Void please a warframe show would be so awesome
Wow, this is amazing. Is not only a cinematic but a hoplite tenno, is perfect.
The second one I heard the words Ascension and then everything goes dark and The elevator lowers, I was sold. That was beautiful cinematography
Maaan, this was perfection, I hopr one day DE is able to make an interactive quest with such rich lore as this animated bit
I would definitely love to see a lot more animations like this
