Nicosia, Cyprus — 19 April 2023: Owlcat Games is excited to present their new trailer featuring previously unseen environments and locations from Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. With this trailer, the team wants to show how they recreate the iconic Warhammer 40,000 atmosphere from an isometric point of view: gothic architecture, industrial yet dilapidated cities, and straight-up nightmarish penal colonies. Everything that Warhammer 40,000 is known and loved for. All aspiring Rogue Traders will find themselves mesmerised by the exploration of these vast areas such as the Starport on the planet Rykad Minoris, where giant statues of fallen heroes are intermixed with starship wreckage and destroyed infrastructure.
The biggest reveal of this trailer is one of the most extraordinary areas in the game: Commorragh, the Dark CityCity, located in the depths of the Webway. This place is home to the Drukhari, a treacherous xenos faction infamous for its love inflicting pain on the many victims captured during their raids into realspace. This is a legendary location for any Warhammer 40,000 fan, utterly overflowing with lore. For the first time in Warhammer 40,000 video game history, players will bear witness to the shadowy citadel of the Kabals, Wych Cults, and Covens, where they will be forced to endure endless horrors and fight for their very existence.
All Warhammer fans attending Warhammer Fest in person from Saturday, April 29, to Monday, May 1, 2023, in Manchester will be the first to see the Cassia statue — the highlight of the Collector’s Edition.
The Steam and GOG wishlists are already opened for the eagerly-anticipated title.

About Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
Players will take on the role of a Rogue Trader, a scion of an ancient dynasty of daring privateers who reign over their own trade protectorate and explore the fringes of Imperial space with the blessing of the Emperor Himself. By virtue of 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 strength and innumerable personnel ready to follow their leader without question. Show your subjects mercy or disdain, stay faithful to the Emperor or consort with the enemies of Humanity — the Rogue Trader’s every decision sends ripples across entire star systems, changing the in-game world and those who inhabit it.
Events will unfold in the Koronus Expanse, a dangerous and unexplored region on the farthest frontiers of the Imperium. Many explorers have fallen victim to this dangerous place never to return.
Remarkable and sophisticated companions are one of the pillars of the cRPG genre, and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is no exception. A mighty Space Marine, a mercurial Aeldari Ranger, or even a courageous Sister of Battle armed with a bolter and ardent prayers are just a few of the many characters that will join the Rogue Trader during their adventures.Follow Owlcat Games on Twitter
