Warframe is one of the most popular free online games on the market right now. For years now, it’s been making constant improvements to keep users hooked and not be tempted to stray to other similar games. And it appears to be succeeding tremendously. The game from Digital Extremes has become the company’s very own goose that lays the golden egg.
Now, the game is going to be released with cross-play for phones, which could be a real game changer for the title, since users will be able to take the game with them wherever they go without having to depend on a computer or state-of-the-art console in order to enjoy it.
We’re going to tell you everything that Warframe for Android has in store for players, as it’s expected to be a total revolution for anyone who’s looking for a third-person shooter to play on their phone.
What is Warframe Mobile?
Warframe is a completely free online third-person action video game developed by the Canadian company Digital Extremes. With thirty years of experience, the company has contributed to some of the most important games, including the legendary Unreal Tournament and the more recent The Darkness II.
In Warframe, players take on the role of a Tenno, an ancient race of cybernetic warriors living in a futuristic suit that gives them incredible powers. After millennia of hibernation, they emerge from their cryogenic tombs to find a universe at war and a very dark future. Players are challenged to fight against space enemies, explore entire planets, obtain their own ships and upgrade their combat suits to have totally unique abilities.
The game has been operating since 2014, when it was released exclusively for PC. A few months later, it arrived on PlayStation 4 and finally, the following year, it landed on Xbox One. Then, when the Nintendo Switch came out, the title was also released on this console in 2018.
So clearly, Warframe is not only a successful game, but it also has almost ten years of experience under its belt.
Is Warframe popular on PC and consoles?
The truth is that the unexpected success of Warframe in 2014 has allowed the developer to focus solely on this game without the need to create any more. The game is constantly being updated with tons of new content, which people have loved. For this reason, it has thousands of active players in its fan base.
The fact that Warframe is available on so many platforms at once has allowed players on all of them to enjoy the game. Plus, it features cross-play, so everyone shares the same universe—a world that, at this point, is so extensive that it’s possible to play for thousands of hours without any problem.
In addition, they’ve now announced a very interesting cross-over, known as Soulframe, which will be set in a fantasy world instead of science fiction. The game will be an MMORPG that hopes to pick up everything learned in Warframe.
Moreover, even though the game is almost ten years old, it still looks incredible. Digital Extremes has been updating the graphics year after year to ensure that they’re always at the forefront and using absolutely cutting-edge technology. Thus, they’ve been incorporating all the improvements that have emerged over the years and the game honestly looks amazing. It would be hard to make it look any better.
When will Warframe be released on Android?
The release date is still unclear. It is always for Android games since they tend to be released in stages. It’s clear that the company will release the game entirely sometime in 2023. In some countries, the game is completely ready and people can already play it without a problem. However, in Spain, for example, we still have to wait, but we can register to be notified when the time comes.
Nevertheless, the great news is that if you already play the computer version, you’ll have all your progress on your phone. This is excellent news for those who spend a lot of time away from home but want to have their character always ready for action and with the best possible equipment. Now they can finally play anywhere.
- Release date: sometime in 2023.
What are the requirements to play Warframe on phones?
The Warframe forums are itching to know the answer, but the truth is that the minimum requirements to play Warframe are still unknown.
Comparing it to a Nintendo Switch, which has a Tegra chip, it is possible that in order to play Warframe, you may need a phone with an Adreno 618 or a similar processor. These chips can run at a slightly faster speed than the Switch and are integrated into the Snapdragon 732G and Snapdragon 695 processors.
As for RAM, if we had to guess, it’s possible that users will probably need around 3 or 4 GB to be able to play it.
