If you want to play out the path of a Rogue Trader, this new Warhammer 40k video game might just be what you’re looking for!
The game has a few gameplay trailers already, but if you want alpha access to the game, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be cheap! However, if you buy the bundle with the alpha access, you’ll also get a ton of other stuff.
The closed alpha already started on 7 December 2022, so if you want in on the alpha there is no waiting. They also have announced beta access that will be available in the future on Steam as well.
New Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader Video Game Has Alpha Access!
The game will focus on you and your retinue making it through all manner of enemies and promises to be the first classic turn-based cRPG for Warhammer 40k. Each team member will have different skills and strengths, and it will be up to you to use them correctly!
They have released a gameplay trailer, which we’ll have below. We’ll also take a look at the bundle that gets you alpha access, but it isn’t cheap!
This comes from Owlcat Games.
Set in the Koronus Expanse, a little-charted and perilous region of space, this backwater sector is rife with opportunities for explorers and adventurers alike. As a Rogue Trader, you will traverse incredible distances in your giant voidship as you chart this cluster of planets.
On your travels, you will encounter a variety of Imperial subjects as well as xenos. Travel is perilous in the 41st millennium, even for a Rogue Trader – the warp is a strange and terrible place in which countless dangers lurk. Not always visible, but no less terrifying for it, denizens of the warp will be another thing for you and your crew to guard against.
The Koronus Expanse is home to many competing noble houses and other privateering families seeking to carve out their spheres of influence. Only in time will you realise the lengths to which they are prepared to go to cling to power and preserve their dark secrets.
Collector’s Edition Bundle: $299
While this is quite expensive, the normal edition will be about $30, so not too bad.
This fabulous collector’s box includes an 8-inch Cassia painted figure, hardcover art book, Warrant of Trade that you can personalise with your name, Rogue Trader banner, and sticker pack. You will also receive all the items included in the Developer’s Digital Pack.
