Digital Extremes, the studio behind Warframe, recently announced that its upcoming 1999 expansion will include a romance system. It was inspired to do so after seeing Larian Studios’s success with implementing one in Baldur’s Gate 3.
While speaking with GamesRadar+ in an interview, Rebecca Ford, the creative director of Warframe, stated that the studio had always wanted to add a romance system to its game, but “there was never an appropriate scenario to do it.”

“I think two things really gave us the courage to proceed,” said Ford. “Of course, the success of Baldur’s Gate and their romance system was like, ‘Okay, like, people do want this fantasy.’ It does help, there’s no doubt, but we did have, I should say, ambitions of it, that fit the Warframe architecture, on and off. Baldur’s Gate was the push over the cliff for sure, and I’m grateful for that. That was one of the best gaming experiences for me, ever.”
On top of being able to romance your fellow squadmates in Warframe: 1999, it was also announced that players would be going toe-to-toe with a ’90s boy band in the latest expansion, and during the creation of 1999, the studio partnered with Make-A-Wish to grant a child’s wish of becoming a voice actor.
