Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader Trailer
The first Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader trailer features Lady-Captain Theodora von Valancius as the narrator. She tells us that the player character belongs to her dynasty.
However, it seems that her time is running out because we witness her frigate heading towards a Necron tomb world in the trailer’s closing moments. In the upcoming game, we’ll have our fair share of enemy factions to deal with in the vast expanse of space.
In the trailer, you can catch a glimpse of some of these formidable foes, including the Chaos Forgefiend, Eldar Rangers, Dark Eldar Talos, and even the menacing Necron tomb. It’s clear that your Rogue Trader and their crew will have quite the challenges ahead.
The second trailer provides us with more in-game action, featuring intense combat scenes between a Rogue Trader’s warband and a variety of adversaries. This time, they face off against daemons, Drukhari raiders, and deadly tarantula sentry guns.
The Rogue Trader’s team boasts a diverse lineup, including an Adeptus Mechanicus tech priest, an experienced Imperial Guard veteran, a skilled Eldar ranger, and even a pyrokinetic psyker. Get ready for some thrilling battles in the vast universe of the game!
In a simple way, the narrator in this trailer hints at a choice that Rogue Traders can make. They can either strengthen the Emperor’s cause or lead many worlds into darkness.
This suggests the possibility of a morality system or different story paths in the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 CRPG. Make sure to watch for additional trailers featuring this concept on Owlcat Games’ YouTube channel.
