Digital Extremes’ Warframe is known for its ambitious updates, but it’s safe to say the implementation of a full-fledged boyband within the game’s universe was on no one’s bingo card. On-Lyne, the 20th Century’s most infamous fictional group, plays a large role in the up-and-coming ‘Warframe: 1999’. Their influence reaches far beyond just 1999, though. As of today, On-Lyne’s hit single PARTY OF YOUR LIFETIME has soared above 500k streams on Spotify. Fans in-game from all over the world will be able to view them live at their sold-out stadium performance… or will they?
Meet The Members Of On-Lyne
Consisting of five members, On-Lyne’s charm stems from their dance-pop rhythms and their globally renowned talent. Also, they’re hot. Reeling people in comes naturally to them- a little too naturally. Spotify’s official description of the band members reads, “The quintet’s lineup includes heartthrob-next-door Zeke, sugar-punk Drillbit, all-star Harddrive, modern maestro DJ RoM, and golden boy Packet.” Each one of On-Lyne’s members is diverse and unique in their own way. This adds to their global fame and allows people from all walks of life to relate to them. With the rise of the Infestation and the Techrot in 1999, everyone needs an escape from the madness.
The group first garnered success with their debut single RUNNING LATE which hit the global Top Five charts within its first week. Of course, due to On-Lyne being a fictional band, this only applies to Warframe’s Top Five charts. Maybe one day On-Lyne will reach the actual global charts, but with over 500k streams on Spotify within less than two weeks (and more on various other streaming platforms), there may still be hope. RUNNING LATE and one other song will premiere in-game and then be released on streaming platforms shortly after. The lyrics and title of PARTY OF YOUR LIFETIME and RUNNING LATE hint at a deeper, more sinister meaning.
Infested Undertones Garner Suspicion
Subliminal messages are scattered everywhere within On-Lyne’s discography. From the obvious Albrecht reference of RUNNING LATE, to the double-sided lyrics of PARTY OF YOUR LIFETIME, it’s safe to say the boys of On-Lyne could be in some deep trouble. Lyrics such as, “Something wild’s in the air” and “Something big is coming, but it’s just the beginning,” illude to the Infestation’s growing hold on Höllvania. Word choices like the line, “Now that you’re invested, we’re turning up the heat” play with quasi-homophones (invested, infested). Of course, the most suspicious line in PARTY OF YOUR LIFETIME reads, “Join us, embrace us, don’t ever erase us.”
As quickly as we got them, they vanished. As shown at the end of the gameplay demo during Tennolive, the late great members of On-Lyne have been Infested. Featuring a gnarled yet humanoid appearance, these bandmates will likely serve as Warframe’s third lich type. How this will pan out within the game is unknown, as currently, liches can be spawned infinitely. Unlike On-Lyne, they do not have a specific impact on the plot of Warframe. This could mean there will only be five infested liches to hunt down in total, but we’ll have to wait until Winter to know for certain. Currently, there is no information on which weapons will be upgraded with the introduction of infested liches.
