Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader is an upcoming CRPG set in the Koronus Expanse. It's also being developed by Owlcat Games, who you might know as the guys behind the Pathfinder CRPGs Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. Unlike those games however, Rogue Trader is being based off of the Fantasy Flight TTRPG of the same name.
You play as a Rogue Trader, and your tasks are to explore the fringes of the galaxy, establish communication with lost or new worlds, and possibly kill any threats to the Imperium. There also seems to be a mystery with what happened to your ancestor, which could come back to ruin you...
Gameplay
As of right now, there isn't much known about how the game will play. What we do know is that the game is based on the same d100 system used in the FFG tabletop RPG, and it is turn-based. Unlike Owlcat's other games, there isn't an option for Real Time with Pause.
Companions
