There are only dice rolls in the grim darkness of the far future.
On Wednesday, Games Workshop revealed Warhammer: 40,000: Rogue Trader during the Skulls showcase. It’s a cRPG from Owlcat Games, the studio best known for the Pathfinder series. You’ll play as the titular Rogue Trader, enacting the Emperor’s will throughout an obscenely hostile universe.
“Working on such a remarkable universe as Warhammer 40,000 is a great honor but also a responsibility and challenge for us as a team,” Oleg Shpilchevsky, head of Owlcat Games, said in a press release. “The grim darkness of the 41st millennium is a harsh place of unbound evil, untold sacrifices, and large-scale threats and challenges that perfectly transitions into an exciting roleplaying narrative that allows an exceptional freedom of in-game choice for the player,”

“We endeavor to bring to the game everything that fans of the cRPG genre love and expect: fateful decisions, non-linear stories, strong and diverse companion cast together with addictive and complex gaming systems to master,” Shpilchevsky concludes.
There’s no release date for Warhammer: 40,000: Rogue Trader yet, but we do know it’s coming for PC and consoles eventually. It’s already up for pre-order on OwlCat’s website, though.
