TennoCon 2021 is happening on July 17, and now we know just when Digital Extremes plans to start Warframe's biggest annual event.
The show starts at 12:30 PM EST (9:30 AM PST) with opening ceremonies hosted by Warframe community director Rebecca Ford. Expect to receive a full rundown on Tennocon as well as details on a few giveaways too.
Starting at 1:00 PM EST, Sounds of the System takes a deep dive into how Digital Extremes' sound engineers create the distinct sounds of Warframe, from soothing Shawzin musical tones to the sound of a Grineer soldier being ripped in half. As revealed at TennoCon 2020, some of those sounds involve a surprising amount of brussels sprouts.
Live Developer Q&A starts at 2:00 PM with senior game designer Pablo Alonso, art director Eric Vedder, and 3D Animator Elyse Gymer, who will be answering questions posed by Twitch viewers, Twitter followers, emails, and the like. At 3:00 PM, The Art of Warframe takes an "in-depth look at the creative process of designing iconic Warframe characters, environments, and worlds.”
The Community Art Show and Cosplay Contest starts at 4:00 PM with fan art and creative cosplays from all over the world. As always, there will be at least one person cosplaying a Corpus Crewman by wearing a cardboard box over their head.
The big event starts at 5:00 PM with Tenno Live. Hosted by Rebecca and guest-starring Warframe director Steve Sinclair, chief operating officer Sheldon Carter, design director Scott McGregor, and animation director Geogg Crookes, this main event will bring the biggest reveals, news, and updates coming to Warframe. It's also when the giveaway and prize winners will be announced, so be sure to tune in.
