The third annual convention for the popular looter shooter of Warframe is currently underway, and one of the first major announcements to be revealed is that Warframe will be coming to the Nintendo Switch thanks to a partnership with developer Panic Button.
Panic Button is well known for their successful Nintendo Switch ports of DOOM, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Rocket League, so it is not surprising to see Digital Extremes seek out the help of Panic Button for developing the port of Warframe for the Nintendo Switch.
