Turn-based RPG set in one of the biggest and most iconic universes - Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is coming soon to GOG!

You will take on the role of a titular Rogue Trader, a scion of an ancient dynasty of daring privateers, that reign over their own merchant empire and explore the fringes of Imperial space with the blessing of the Emperor Himself. Thanks to their Warrant of Trade - the Rogue Trader is endowed with privileges and power beyond imagination as well as the task of expanding the borders of the Imperium. At their disposal is a gargantuan voidship of immense power and innumerable servants and personnel ready to do the bidding of their lord. Their adventures begin in the vast Koronus Expanse - a treacherous region of unexplored space at the edge of Humanity’s domain.

You can expect exploration of mysterious lost and forgotten worlds as well as numerous planets claimed by humanity, fateful decisions that affect the lives of entire worlds, prove your strategic and tactical skills in high-impact turn-based battles against powerful opponents and of course meeting faithful and sophisticated companions.

This fantastic story will soon invite us on its remarkable adventure! But while we wait you can dive deep into the vast Warhammer universes within our ongoing Warhammer Sale with titles discounted up to -90%.

Oddeus: But 100 Gb for an isometric rpg? This is either the biggest game of all time, or the prettiest.
BG3 will be 100+ as well.

Enebias: Moderately optimistic since I liked both Pathfinder, but please, please no romance. Especially with the perfidious Aeldari. It's Warhammer, there's no room for positivity! :P

P-E-S: I kinda miss the early days of Warhammer, especially with 40K being a bit goofy. Now it's just grim darkness everywhere. Boring! =P
I wasn't there in the early days, but... I think it's clear its grim darkness is not to be taken seriously, it's extreme for the sake of it. I say think because not everyone seem to understand the obvious, like the people that made a fuss when they were told things like "The Boys" were parody and satire.

(I honestly cannot suffer "romance" in RPGs, so unironically cringeworthy most of the times... I have PTSD from Bioware)

Edited for brutal typos.

Thank you :)

Finally, been waiting for this since Mortismal showed it on his channel. Whatever Owlcat brings, and whatever they make of the source material, I'll eat it up.

There is a lot of lore for the taking, and also a well regarded pen and paper RPG set in the 40K universe, so this could potentially be pretty good.

Recap of the Fourth Quarter of 2022
"Collection of highlights from the last 4 months of development of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader."

Dev Diary #3: Enemy Creation
"Every formidable Rogue Trader needs worthy enemies to fight against.
And creating those enemies means we have to pour our heart and soul into every little detail.
Let us show you how it's done, using the terrifying Helbrute as an example."

40K boasts dark humour, more or less subtle. Grim darkness is there for those who enjoy it, but humour never left.

This particular setting within 40K seems suggestive, I would like to hear more about this.

I always thought Warhammer would be a very good universe for RPG games.
Even if these days the franchise went into a totally different direction, I actually liked Ian Watsons first books.
After his introduction to the Space Marines (how the soldiers are recruited and built, there spirituality, their worship for the emperor and their dead primarchs, how they live and operate as initiates and later as fully developed soldiers) he wrote a story about an inquisitor, who travels with an assassine, a mechanic and a navigator around to uncover a big conspiracy, later the group is joined by a space marine, the main character from his first book, separated from his chapter, his armor broken. Sadly the inquisitor's story was never finished, ended after two books with an open end.
But that was actually a very neat fantasy novel, something like that could work very well in an RPG.

"In this one, we want to show how our team has recreated the iconic Warhammer atmosphere, even from an isometric point of view.
And there is one killer surprise, so we advise watching until the very end!"

Ixamyakxim: Looks cool -

... but I hope it involves the Void Ship a lot more. Upgrading, turnbased space combat, resource management and upgrades - I feel like half the fun of being a Rogue Trader is the ship, and not just reskinning "generic D&D / Pathfinder / Wasteland CRPG with a Warhammer coat of paint"
A bit like Battletech then! I would like to have the game make you give that feeling of having a ship taking you places, as well.

A 40K CRPG......with a badass ship to travel around on......and a rogue trader character as the MC?

Nuff Said

Yup that'd be fantastic! Absolutely loved the new Mechwarrior games too (first person and turnbased). Would love something like this, even if pared down, combined with the more traditional CRPG that this game showcases.
