Ten Things You Didn’t Know About TennoCon

Greetings, Tenno! It's hard to believe that Warframe's big day is finally upon us! After a nearly four-year hiatus, TennoCon 2023 marks the annual celebration's return as an in-person event! Since there are enough panels and workshops to fill a Corpus Crewship, we thought it best to go over some need-to-know information.

If you've ever had a burning lore question regarding the Origin System's deepest, darkest secrets, this is the workshop to attend!
