We’re fast approaching the scheduled release window for Warframe’s next open world expansion, Fortuna, which is due to arrive on PC sometime in early November. To take the hype to all new levels, Digital Extremes has created a “secret” Discord server called Solaris United, which is leading players on a wild goose chase around the internet to discover more about the lore of Fortuna. I’m not going to lie – some of Warframe’s background stories are quite grim.
If you’re wondering what’s going on, Fortuna is the underground city on Venus filled with Solaris: a race of people that appears to be half-humanoid, half-machine. They’re heavily indebted to the Corpus, who are a bunch of greedy space capitalists determined to get their hands on any and all tech they can find. In the Fortuna expansion, players are supposed to help an underground rebel group of Solaris, called Solaris United, overthrow their (literal) corporate overlords. And this is where the Discord server comes in.
The Solaris United server appears to have been set up last week, and announced its presence with a video from the group’s leader, an enigmatic figure called “The Business”. He calls for aid in fighting the Corpus, who have apparently been sending “repo” squads to do shady things to the Solaris whenever they miss a payment.
