Warframe: 1999 voice actors for all characters

Warframe's The Hex from the 1999 updateDigital Extremes

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.
