The Warframe franchise continues to grow, with TennoCon this year breaking multiple records
Despite launching in 2013 Warframe has not shown any sign of slowing down.
Digital Extremes wrapped up TennoCon 2021 this year, and recently announced plans for the launch of The New War, crossplay and even a mobile version Warframe. The first statistics have been released for the show — and it seems Warframe is more popular than everbefore, smashing several records in the community and for franchises for concurrent viewers.
The New War expansion was extremely popular for fans who came out in massive amounts during the main event. TennoCon 2021 was attended by more than 540,000 concurrent viewers at its highest point. This makes it the most-watched Warframe stream. Digital Extremes pointed out that Warframe was the only Twitch Video Game Channel to place among the top five concurrent viewers streams for 2021. A good result for a video game from 2013.
TennoCon is about Warframe players… a welcomingand welcoming community. They make it possible to play a cooperative, fun game online that you can play with your colleagues. This year, our community has reached all-new heights and we couldn`t be more grateful for their loyalty,” Rebecca Ford, Live Operations and Community Director for DEand DE, stated. We put passion and energy into creating The New War memorable for players, and we couldn`t be happier to see this is the reason that connects Tenno together. They are curious about what comes next in our tale.”
During the course of TennoCon, Warframe claimed the top spot on Twitch charts, and was even in the top-ten spot in the Global Twitter Trending categories. A quick look at SteamCharts shows that a new concurrent count of players was also recorded on the day of TennoConthat saw over 181,000 players online simultaneously.
“This is the biggest thing we`ve ever done. By lots… and I`m extremely excited to perform a live demo,” Steve Sinclair, Creative Director at Digital Extremes, said during the live stream.
Fans were probably just excited. It will be interesting to observe how Warframe manages the increasing popularity of Warframe before The New War.
