The Line brings the A-game in Animation
The Line, known for their visionary animated works, is throwing their proverbial hat in the ring of Warframe’s universe in the ‘last year of the last century’—1999. They’re not just bringing their A-game; they’re bringing anime into the mix, making this a ‘can’t-miss’ experience for fans of both!
From bleeding-edge game to a short Film: Warframe Transforms
With Venla Linna in the director’s chair, this isn’t just going to be another ‘based-on-a-game’ short film. Nope, we’re expecting something more here, something along the lines of ‘Breaking Bad meets Naruto’ in an alternate universe where they both fancy speed-dating—with lasers.
So, what is my hot take on this brew of gaming and animation? I’d say, buckle up, baby! It looks like Warframe: 1999 could be setting the pace for the ‘transmedia trend’, and with The Line and Venla Linna in the mix, we’re likely in for a thrill ride filled with a lot more than hip, retro vibes. Be prepared for a memory trip back to the days of frosted tips and Y2K fear with a sprinkling of Otaku madness.
The Line has been officially tapped to helm and produce an anime-influenced short aimed at promoting the highly awaited Warframe: 1999 update slated for later this year. The partnership was publically revealed by Digital Extremes during TennoCon, where a tantalizing glimpse of the film’s exclusive styleframe was revealed, whetting appetites for what’s in store next.

The short will be under the expert direction of Venla Linna, acclaimed for her first directorial venture – Heavenly Vessel. The Line’s crew will offer sneak peeks during the production process, giving Warframe buffs a unique look at the behind-the-scenes action and promising to unveil characters in a never seen before format.
Laura Breaden, The Line’s MD expressed her thoughts:
We’re incredibly thrilled about joining hands with the Digital Extremes team on this project. It’s quite uncommon for us to partner with such a devout creative team catering to a community of equally ardent followers! The project has kicked-off impressively and we can’t keep calm to share more as we progress further.
The animated short is due for a November release, but fans can look forward to sneak peeks of concept art, character designs and more on The Line’s social media channels in the upcoming months.
Stay updated with The Line’s work on their social media platforms – Instagram, X, Linkedin and Facebook.
