Nicosia, Cyprus (January 21, 2025) — Owlcat Games is excited to announce that the critically acclaimed CRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has reached one million sales worldwide on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“Reaching such a milestone in one year with our third game is a sign for us that we, as developers, are working in the right direction,” says Oleg Shpilchevskiy, Studio Head of Owlcat Games, “Together with the fantastic team at Warhammer, we were able to create the СRPG of our dreams, one set in the grim dark future of the 41st millennium, and we will do our best to bring more stories to the endless universe of Warhammer 40,000.”
In September 2024, the game received its first massive expansion, Void Shadows, an epic addition that seamlessly integrates into the main narrative. This expansion introduced gripping new quests, formidable enemies, and an unforgettable companion — a mysterious Death Cult assassin.

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.
