Destiny and Warframe Fans Spent a Decade Competing With Each Other — Now They’re United in Saying Goodbye
After a decade of friendly competition, the Destiny and Warframe player communities are preparing to say goodbye as their longtime rivalry comes to an end. Warframe, developed by Digital Extremes, launched on PC in March 2013 followed by console ports in November 2013, while Bungie’s Destiny released in September 2014. The two sci-fi shooters spawned a lighthearted competitive dynamic between their communities due to shared core design elements including space settings, superpowers, and firearms. As this chapter in gaming history closes, both fan bases are exploring meaningful ways to commemorate their years of engagement with these parallel gaming experiences and the rivalry that defined their communities for years.
