"CMHA Middlesex is excited to partner with Digital Extremes and bring a greater understanding of self-care and mental health to the digital and gaming industry," said Beth Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Mental Health Association, Middlesex, in the press release. "Mental health and addictions are at the forefront of our society's conversations, and as more individuals come forward we are thankful for the partnerships with community-focused organizations that help us promote positive mental health and support those with mental health concerns. We look forward to partnering with Digital Extremes and continuing the conversation around mentally healthy lifestyles for the gaming community." 

Fortuna and Railjack were incredible Warframe reveals for TennoCon 2018 and the event also closed with a tease of The New War, a story-focused expansion in development for the game. TennoCon 2019 should serve as a way for Digital Extremes to share more details on The New War, along with a ton of other Warframe surprises. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional updates.
