Today, Owlcat Games, the developer of Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader, has announced that they are moving the official release date of the first expansion, Void Shadows, to September 24, 2024. The expansion was originally due for release on August 8. Still, the developers have said they need more time to polish the game up as best as possible and "eradicate anything that might spoil the players' experience as they investigate the darkest corners of their voidship or romance a new companion."
For those who have been playing Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader, you'll want to keep your eyes and ears out for all the info with the first expansion, Void Shadows. It adds 15 hours of content to the game and is fully integrated with the main game's story, so you don't need to worry about spin-off confusion.
The new expansion features an exciting story where you get to play as the Lord Captain and get to peek into the lives of the citizens on the voidship while working to tackle a looming darkness that is threatening the existence of those on the ship. You are joined by a brand-new companion named Kibellah, an awesome, relentless Death Cult Assassin ready to pledge her life in service of the von Valancius dynasty, the same way her predecessors did.
While this news may be disheartening to some, it just means that the developers want to work as hard as possible to ensure that a quality product is released that will please all fans. Plus, there is plenty of content to get through in the main game, where you can replay it repeatedly to make different choices.
Whether you want to be the hero or you want to be the villain and be hated by those surrounding you, Rogue Trader has plenty of options and ways to play the game. There are at least 50 hours of gameplay to be had in the game, without doing every little thing present!
