Developed and published Digital Extremes,
Warframe is a free-to-play third person sci-fi action game that was initially released for the PlayStation 4 and Windows back in 2013, and was eventually ported to the Xbox One in 2014.
In March of this year, rumours started circulation around the web that Digital Extremes was considering porting
Warframe to the Nintendo Switch as they were carefully examining the possibility, although they didn't confirm it by any means. It wasn't until July that the developer
officially confirmed that Warframe for the Nintendo Switch was a reality, although the announcement made by Digital Extremes only mentioned that the game was currently in development and didn't provide an official release date.
We also found out that Panic Button, which has become widely known for their fantastic ports of Doom(2016) and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, were working on the Nintendo Switch port of Warframe; which were great news for fans of both the Nintendo Switch and
Warframe, since Panic Button has yet to disappoint when it comes to porting titles to Nintendo's handheld hybrid console.
Today, Digital Extremes and Panic Button's
Warframe has finally released for the Nintendo Switch. Much like other versions of the game, the Nintendo Switch is also getting
Warframe as a free-to-play title, so fans of the third-person sci-fi action game can now download it from the Nintendo eShop. With the release of
Warframe on the Nintendo Switch, we also get a brand-new, and action-packed trailer that shows-off some of the games' brilliant gameplay that players can now take on-the-go.
Take a look:
They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun – masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the Old War were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.
Warframe is available for the Nintendo Switch today.
