The creative connective tissue between animation studio THE LINE (last seen impressing us with its Gorillaz animation) and Warframe game developer Digital Extremes is a shared desire to take risks, flex creativity, and remain authentic to art and voice. Jade Shadows: Constellations, the new animated short designed to introduce players to Warframe’s next big update, just as the team did with Warframe 1999's The Hex, does exactly that, and it’s quite unexpected in the best way possible.
In fact, there’s a version of this animation where it’s just another game trailer; a major release dropped with a big cinematic, a few lore breadcrumbs teased, and something for fans to freeze-frame and argue about on Reddit for a week or two.
