The developers describe the premise of the game like this: “Set in the Koronus Expanse, a little-charted and perilous region of space, this backwater sector is rife with opportunities for explorers and adventurers alike. As a Rogue Trader, you will traverse incredible distances in your giant voidship as you chart this cluster of planets.” Some of the characters players will meet include the melee-based Abelard Werserian, the tech-priest Pasqal Haneumann, and the support-focused Idira Tlass. See your first look at Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader gameplay below.
