Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Promises Isometric RPG Goodness

If you are looking for an RPG experience set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, then Owlcat Games has you covered. Announced at the Warhammer Skulls showcase, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader will bring classic RPG mechanics into the far future.

That’s right, you are going to be duking it out with the baddies in an isometric, party-based RPG that uses turn-based combat. And if you are wondering if Owlcat has what it takes, the developers behind the beloved Pathfinder series should give you a great idea of what to expect when this new project hits PC and consoles.

Players will take on the role of the titular Rogue Trader, a privateer that is all about making bank and staying alive amongst the stars. Exploring the Koronus Expanse will require some help, and companions that will join you on your journey include a Space Marine, an Aeldari Ranger, and a Sister of Battle.

“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,” said Oleg Shpilchevsky, head of Owlcat Games.

“We endeavour 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.”

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is already available for pre-order via Founder’s Packs, which will grant access to alpha and beta versions of the game when available. No release date has been set just yet.
