Developer Owlcat Games released their latest project, a turn-based cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. The game is now available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC via Steam, GOG & EGS. It’s time to steer your voidship to the Koronus Expanse and get this party started for the Emperor.
Begin your adventure aboard your personal, giant voidship, traveling between the multitude of systems within the Koronus Expanse, a barely charted and incredibly perilous region of space. Despite being considered a backwater of the Imperium, this region encompasses an enormous stretch of the void, filled with dangerous creatures and prodigious opportunities for profit and exploration.
During quests show your subjects mercy or disdain, stay faithful to the God-Emperor, or consort with enemies of Mankind – your every decision and every act, even in character creation, is changing the in-game open world and those who inhabit it.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – Season Pass
Alongside the official launch of the game, Owlcats also revealed the information about Rogue Trader Season Pass. The game will receive two major DLCs: Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis.
Void Shadows is expected to arrive in June 2024 and will offer ~15 hours of gameplay. The first major story expansion is all about the Rogue Trader’s voidship, the life of its crew, and the threats lurking in its holds. Dive into a new epic story integrated into the main narrative, battle new enemies, and recruit a new companion — a death cult assassin. Explore new decks of your voidship, unlock new upgrade options, and master the mechanics of void combat. Meet new members of your crew on the bridge, such as the Astropath, the chirurgeon, and others.
Lex Imperialis is charting its course for December 2024. Likewise, it will introduce about 15 hours of extra gameplay. The second major story expansion sees the Lord Captain join forces with a new companion — a member of the Adeptus Arbites. As the past of House von Valancius begins to present itself in a new light, the Rogue Trader faces difficult decisions that may affect the future of the entire Koronus Expanse.
Over the course of this story, you will get a chance to learn more about the collection of the Imperial Tithe, otherwise known as the Grand Harvesting. Interfere with this fundamental process of the Imperium at your own peril. Discover new areas, game mechanics, and archetypes — and of course, encounter new horrors of the Immaterium.
