Boutique animation studio THE LINE has applied its love of anime to refreshing the world of video game Warframe, with the creation of a short film that shows players what they can expect from the game's risky direction. Risky because in 10 years Warframe has never undergone a stylistic change of direction quite like the recently released 1999 narrative update.
With a specialism in both 3D animation and 2D animation styles, as well as a passion for the past, The LINE's 1999 project neatly anticipates the big nostalgia art trend for 2025. While developer Digital Extremes worked on the game's new content, that includes a visual makeover, new story content and gameplay ideas, animation studio THE LINE created the 90s anime short, called The Hex.
