Warframe's Community Director Megan Everett answered questions about the game's future in a new email interview, covering Japanese voice acting, music, and the recently announced star map. The game is now in its 13th year of service.
Everett named four Japanese actors she would love to see in the game: Yuichi Nakamura, Yui Ishikawa, Natsuki Hanae, and Hiroshi Kamiya. She noted anime is a major inspiration for her casting ideas.
On adding Japanese voice options, Everett said it is feedback the team occasionally receives, but a 13-year-old game has a huge amount of voice lines, so the workload needs careful assessment. She said there are no specific plans to share at this time.
Regarding the increase in vocal tracks, Everett said music is another way to tell story, and the narrative team often writes lyrics. She said the community's joke that Warframe is 'a music studio that also makes games on the side' motivates the team.
