The expansive universe of Warframe continues to deepen with the much-anticipated expansion, Warframe: 1999. This upcoming prequel-slash-expansion has just unveiled a new anime short, courtesy of the arthouse studio The Line, which delves into the world of protoframes and their battle against the mysterious Techrot.

Set in the titular year 1999, Warframe: 1999 explores the origins of the protoframes, the precursors to the iconic Warframes we know today. As these early warriors chase the enigmatic Dr. Entrati and combat the unsettling Techrot infestation, the Warframe community has been eagerly dissecting every morsel of information released about the expansion.

The latest addition to this narrative is the anime short titled "The Hex," which, despite its brief duration of just over a minute and a half, is brimming with action and visually striking animation. For dedicated Warframe enthusiasts, "The Hex" offers a wealth of details ripe for analysis. You can watch it below!

Although it's curious to label The Line, an England-based studio, and its productions as "anime," the term has evolved to represent sophisticated animation aimed at adult audiences. The Line's work on the Warframe short is nothing short of exceptional.
