So much of what makes Warframe great is its narrative, capably delivered by an extensive team of voice actors. The 1999 update is no different, so we’ve prepared a complete breakdown of exactly who you can expect to hear along the way.
Warframe: 1999 is a major departure for the popular MMO, taking players back in time by thousands of years. Though previous updates have dabbled in time travel, this is the first to entirely center the story so far in the past.
As part of that, players are being introduced to a whole host of new characters who haven’t featured in the game before. To deliver those new protagonists’ (and antagonists’) lines, some notable names from around the world of voice acting have been drafted in.
All Warframe: 1999 voice actors: Complete cast
Ben Starr – Arthur (Excalibur)
As the leader of The Hex, a group of six Protoframes searching for a cure to the Technocyte virus, Arthur features more heavily than any other character in the story. He’s best known for his appearance as Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy XVI, but he has also appeared in Quantum Break and Arknights. He’s also set to appear in 2025’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Alpha Takahashi – Aoi (Mag)
In charge of logistics for The Hex, Aoi is one of those characters that makes an immediate impression, often serving as comedic relief. She’s played by Alpha Takahashi, who appeared in Cyberpunk 2077 as Hanako Arasaka, and also features as Psylocke in Marvel Rivals.
