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.
