If you were wondering what to do over the holiday season, you're in luck as Dark Sector is up for grabs on Steam for free until November 30th. Whether you're a fan of Warframe, or humbly awaiting their next title Soulframe, this is your chance to check out the game responsible for Digital Extremes' meteoric rise.
Originally launched in 2009, Dark Sector puts you in the shoes of Hayden Tenno which might sound familiar to Warframe players whose player characters are referred to as Tenno in Digital Extreme's flagship title, giving you one of many hints at the shared DNA between these two games.
For those unfamiliar with Dark Sector, this third-person action game blends gunplay with the power of a bladed Glaive, you'll obtain after being infected by a strange virus. As the infection spreads Hayden will be granted some powerful abilities, which you'll use to take down enemies and solve puzzles in various ways. Digital Extremes is well known for creating gritty sci-fi worlds, and a lot of the concepts in Dark Sector will feel instantly recognizable to Warframe fans, showing off the early ideas that eventually shaped Digital Extremes' direction.
No matter if you're a Warframe fan or you're just a lover of free games, you certainly should pick up Dark Sector while it's free on Steam. After November 30th, the game goes back to its regular price of ten dollars, so take a moment and add this game to your Steam library today.
