Warframe's annual fan event TennoCon 2026 drew over 4,000 attendees in London, Ontario. The 13-year-old free-to-play game has 85 million registered users. Tickets sold out instantly. The development team said they treat every day like it's their last.
Tickets for TennoCon 2026 sold out the moment reservations opened. Over 4,000 fans of the free-to-play action game Warframe gathered in London, Ontario, the hometown of developer Digital Extremes. The event, held in July 2026, brought fans from around the world, many carrying handmade goods and wearing custom jackets depicting in-game characters.
Warframe now sits at 85 million registered users, 13 years after its launch. In an interview with Denfaminicogamer at the event, the development team stated, 'We treat every day like it's our last.' The quote reflects a studio that has kept the live-service title alive through regular updates and a tight relationship with its player base, known as Tenno.
One attendee, a woman wearing a handmade jacket of the demon-themed Warframe Uriel, explained that she also made acrylic keychains and stickers. A male fan nearby handed out wristbands with game references. The atmosphere was one of shared enthusiasm despite the summer heat. The event's scale suggests that Warframe is not fading-it is still drawing new and returning players to a universe that has lasted more than a decade.
