Remember how it all began with The Old Peace Reveal Trailer:
"Ten years of TennoCon is such a mind-boggling thing to say out loud," said Rebecca Ford, Creative Director of Warframe. "When we first started this celebration event back in 2016, we had no idea it would grow to what it is today. Our community is everything to us; we wouldn't be here without them. To be able to continue TennoCon and bring together more players in person from around the world and treat them to the latest announcements, hijinks, and simply celebrate the world of Warframe is a privilege we don't take for granted. The 10th TennoCon has been a deeply special, unforgettable journey. We want to thank our community to Tau and back for joining us on this monumental milestone. See you all next year!"
