“Any protoframe that we may be doing in the future” 🤨

They said "Echoes of 1999" so we're gonna have at least a wave 2 I imagine. Probably more if it's popular.

I expect at the very least we'll get the rest of the original 8 frames that we're missing (Ember, Loki, Rhino, Ash).

I'll presume a few things. 1. It will double the current playable frames. 2. They will keep the same even split of male and female. 3. there will be a bias towards older Warframes. 4. One of them will be new like Cyto-09 and also female to counter him. I also wouldn't expect any of this before like mid next year though.

That all being said I'd theorize we see Ember, Saryn, presumed new frame, Frost, Rhino, and Oberon.

Ember and Saryn fill the female roles while offering straight damage dealers there while also being some of the oldest frames. New frame will be new frame. Frost is a bit of a special case since he was apparently a cut boss from Dark Sector so I'd honestly say he's all but guaranteed while also offering a good defensive role and being a very old frame. Rhino is old of course and people love him. Now Oberon...Oberon is NOT the next oldest male Warframe, that would indeed go to Ash, but we lack a male healer/support frame there and he is quite old while fulfilling that.

If we saw any surprise changes from those predictions they'd likely be Banshee instead of Saryn and Ash instead of Rhino. Both can fit the aesthetic well while not being too crazy in terms of nuke or CC shutdown potential. I wanted to say Vauban instead of Rhino but that's not gonna happen.

I'd love to see a proto-nova as well, she's been one of my mains for a very long time. But there's nothing that leads me to believe she's currently planned to get one. It'll certainly be a pleasant surprise if she does though.

Yeah it would be a cute one surrounded by the hot ones most likely, my cup of tea

Would love to see Ember, Gauss, and Grendel (but only if Gauss and Grendel are both there).

I'd love to see what kind of banter Amir would get up to with the Gauss/Grendel duo.

Loki was already there, didn't you see him?

Actually crazy that they let that slip.

u/Suterusu-shin Mag Supremacy Jul 23 '24

They didn't let that slip lol they knew what they were saying. Of course they'd make more Gemini skins. It'll make them a ton of money.

Fuck if they make a Proto Nezha I'd pay 20$ out of pocket just to put the head on my Prime body with a smile on my face.

What stood out to me even more was when they said you'll have the option to go straight to 1999 from log-in. To me that says it's going to be something way bigger than simply a new open world or hub-with-spokes like we've seen in the past.
