Digital Extremes, best known for their work on Unreal, Bioshock II, the Darkness II and 2008's awesome Dark Sector just droppped an exciting new diorama teaser for their upcoming free to play PC shooter. Despite having an unfortunate name the art direction looks pretty damn stellar, with two distinct factions: The Tenno and the Grineer fighting over long lost Warframes, exoskeletal augmentations with the ability to turn the tide of battle for the faction in possession of them.
Digital Extremes described the game as an MMO-Lite shooter, with squads of four players banding together to fight the oppressive race in this universe, the Grineer via a variety of combat missions. It looks like skill trees will come into play, with each of the players Warframes possessing the ability to level up and add new abilities to your arsenal. With a procedural mission generator, fast paced PvE combat and a customization system I'm looking forward to getting into the beta before the game launches on December 31, 2012 (Mayan apocalypse, etc). In a fashion similar to Hawken, you can head over to PlayWarframe.com to reserve your callsign and enlist your friends for perks. Get yourself an awesome, high res wallpaper after the break!
