[2021] good news from reb for the people who thought New War was lacking

So what this means in more non-tweet character limit terms, using the Patch Notes as a starting point:

Open Letter From the Developers:

The New War has arrived. This Cinematic quest has come together from all of our team working from our homes across the world, and we’re bringing it to yours. Perhaps for some the wait has been long, years for some veteran Tenno, but it ends today.

A lot has happened following the initial anticipation for ‘The New War’ in 2018 with our first teaser trailer. Over the course of the years, we’ve had events to move the story along (with some cryptic hints)… and then lockdown happened, which truly set us back a year. This is not an exaggeration or an excuse, it is a fact that bears mentioning. We intended to ship the cinematic quest experience much earlier, our own delays and then the world’s delays got in the way of that, but it’s finally here.

Despite the wait, what hasn’t changed is our unquenchable desire to surprise our players and tell your story. The story of the Tenno.

The New War represents the biggest undertaking in the history of Digital Extremes, as well as a new progression point for our Tenno. It has been many years since there was a clear story point that a Tenno could reach. From ‘just get to the Second Dream’ to ‘make sure you’re done the Sacrifice’, we now have that firm goal: wage The New War. This journey will take you several hours, and is one you will not be able to turn back on once you've started, so make sure you are prepared!

The New War is here. The stage is set for the future. Once you’ve finished, join us in 2022 for what comes next for Warframe in a post New-War world…

Important bit:

Once you’ve finished, join us in 2022 for what comes next for Warframe in a post New-War world…

• People who played The Second Dream got Focus and Lua, and many Questions
• People who played The War Within got the Kuva Fortress and Focus expansions, and many Questions
• People who played The Sacrifice got mostly Story and a New Warframe, but mostly story and many Questions

And now

People who played The New War got mostly Story and new customization/world-building elements for their characters / world... and new Questions

So here's where the spoilery parts come in and I will say as much as I can from a Community Engagement lens without breaking the sacred rule of letting the game tell its own story but... we are very much going all in on content to continue the patterns laid before us. It was a quest larger than Second Dream, War Within, and Sacrifice combined, so ultimately we're pretty happy with that but we know there's certainly the instant question of: 'What now?' :D.

For sure <3!
