The company reintroduced Dark Sector in 2004 in preparation for release on the upcoming seventh generation consoles but could not find a publisher due to its theme.

The concepts for Warframe had been in place at Digital Extremes since 2000 under the name Dark Sector. The game is supported by microtransactions that allow players to purchase various in-game items that are otherwise available through grinding. The game includes elements of shooting and melee games, parkour, and role-playing games to allow players to advance their Tenno character with improved gear.

The Tenno use their powered Warframes along with powerful weapons and abilities to complete missions. In the science fiction setting of Warframe, players control members of the Tenno, a race of ancient warriors who have awoken from centuries of cryosleep to find themselves at war in a planetary system with different factions (Grineer, Corpus, Infested, Orokin, and the Tau/Sentients). Warframe is a free-to-play cooperative third-person shooter video game developed by Digital Extremes for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch version in development by Panic Button.
