Warframe’s Developer Partners With Make-A-Wish To Feature Child In Upcoming Expansion
TennoCon, Digital Extremes’ yearly convention, partners and donates towards charities in Canada. For TennoCon 2024, the Warframe developer chose two charities to partner with, unlike previous years where a single charity would be their choice for the community event. This year, AbleGamers is Digital Extremes’ overseas choice and Make-A-Wish is its local charity choice.
With Make-A-Wish, Digital Extremes has granted a child’s wish to become a video game voice actor. James, a 16-year-old with Spina Bifida, is familiar with Warframe due to his older brother being a Tenno–the affectionate name designated to the players of Warframe. Kevin Lim, a voice actor for the Warframe character Bombastine, was how Digital Extremes initially discovered James’ wish.
“Through being involved with [Make-A-Wish, Lim] got wind of a boy named James–whose wish was to be a voice in a video game,” community manager Megan Everett said. From there, Lim asked James, if he would be interested in being a voice actor for Warframe due to Lim’s recent work on the game’s Duviri Paradox expansion.
