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.

Owlcat Games announced that Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has reached another important milestone with more than 2 million copies sold across PC and consoles.

Since Rogue Trader’s launch in 2023, more than 2 million players have become captains of their own voidships, recruited a crew of strong and fanatical companions (whilst also becoming intimately acquainted with many of them), and built their own private empire in the Koronus Expanse. The game has since gone on to launch three expansive DLCs, all completely integrated into the main story,  alongside new companions, quests, and mechanics, with more on the horizon. 

Players have been contributing a myriad of feedback on what they love and hate (Footfall Sewers take the prize for most hated location by a country mile) and what they would like to see in the game. For example, companions and how well they are written are one of the most important aspects of the game. The companion deemed the most interesting is still Seneschal Abeldard, who takes his duty to represent the von Valancius dynasty very seriously indeed, and there are still many players whose dearest wish is to be able to romance Sister Argenta… 

Starting October 15, 2026, prospective players and collectors on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 will also have the opportunity to purchase a physical edition of the game, for the very first time. Produced by Silver Lining, the physical Voidfarer Edition contains the main game, both Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis DLCs, as well as a number of digital goods and exclusive in-game items. 

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 Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / GOG).
