Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, an RPG in the Games Workshop universe
The game is for now without a release date, but it has been confirmed to arrive on consoles. Here are the first official information, the announcement trailer and a set of images.
In Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader you take on the role of a Rogue Trader, scion of an ancient dynasty of daring corsairs, who reigns over his own merchant empire and explores the boundaries of imperial space with the blessing of the Emperor himself. Thanks to their Trading Mandate, Rogue Traders are endowed with privileges and powers beyond imagination, as well as the task of expanding the boundaries of the Imperium. At their disposal is a spaceship of immense power and countless servants and personnel ready to carry out the orders of their lord. Their adventures begin in the vast Expanse of Koronus, a treacherous region of uncharted space on the edge of humanity's domain.
The exploration will take the protagonist to mysterious lost and forgotten worlds and numerous planets claimed by humanity, from lush Agri-Worlds to steel-clad Forge Worlds, all ready to be claimed for your nascent merchant empire or plundered for their riches. Traveling among the stars, prepare to meet potential allies and dangerous enemies of the Imperium, among whom the cults of Chaos and the alien Xenos are the most treacherous and lethal.
You will make crucial decisions that will affect the lives of entire worlds. You will demonstrate your strategic and tactical skills in high-impact turn-based battles against powerful opponents.
No Rogue Trader travels alone: on this dangerous journey into the unknown, you will meet faithful and sophisticated companions. Imagine fighting alongside a mighty armored Space Marine, a deadly Ranger Aeldari or even a brave Bolter-Armed Battle Sister and a burning prayer: these characters and many more will join you.
