'Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader' Reaches One Million Copies Sold Milestone, Reveals Lex Imperialis Expansion

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the first classic roleplaying game with turn-based combat in the legendary grim darkness of the far future of Warhammer 40,000.

Players will take on the role of a 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 strength and innumerable personnel ready to follow any undertakings of the leader. Show your subjects mercy or disdain, stay faithful to the Emperor or consort with enemies of Mankind - every decision and every act of the Rogue Trader sends ripples throughout entire star systems, changing the in-game world and those who inhabit it.

The action will unfold in the Koronus Expanse, a dangerous and unexplored region on the far frontiers of the Imperium of Man. Many explorers have fallen victim to this dangerous place and never returned.

Exploration will bring the protagonist to mysterious lost and forgotten worlds as well as numerous planets claimed by humanity - from lush Agri-Worlds to steel-clad Forge Worlds, all of them ready to be claimed for your burgeoning merchant empire or plundered for their riches. While travelling between the stars, get ready to come across potential allies and dangerous enemies of the Imperium, Chaos cults and alien Xenos counting among the most treacherous and deadly.

Developer Owlcat Games announce that 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.

Currently, the studio is working on the second major expansion, Lex Imperialis. It shifts the spotlight onto a new companion from the Adeptus Arbites and on the collection of the Imperial Tithe. Lex Imperialis will introduce vast new areas to explore, as well as additional game mechanics, archetypes, and new horrors of the Immaterium.  The expansion is set to launch later this year, with additional details to be revealed in the coming months.

Today and tomorrow, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is available on GOG with the following discounts: 45% on the base game, all editions, and Season Pass together with 20% off on the released expansion Void Shadows.

You will make fateful decisions that affect the lives of entire worlds. You will prove your strategic and tactical skills in high-impact turn-based battles against powerful opponents.

No Rogue Trader travels alone: on this dangerous journey into the unknown, you will meet faithful and sophisticated companions. Imagine fighting alongside a mighty power armoured Space Marine, a lethal Aeldari Ranger, or even a courageous Sister of Battle armed with bolter and ardent prayer - these characters and many others will join you. Become a Rogue Trader endowed with great authority, discover new worlds and shape the future of the Imperium! Join this fantastic story!

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / GOG).
