As part of Games Workshop's annual Warhammer Skulls event, Owlcat unveiled a new Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader feature trailer today. As some expected after last week's lore update on the official website, the trailer offers us our first look at Ulfar, Rogue Trader's Space Marine companion. There are other things to see here as well, including a glimpse at the game's strategic layer and an overview of various enemy factions, including the forces of Chaos. The trailer concludes with the announcement that the Rogue Trader beta will be starting a week from now, on June 1st.


Unlike the alpha, Rogue Trader's beta build will be available to all who preorder, even at the cheapest $40 tier. Hopefully, that means more gameplay impressions from your fellow Codexers in the near future.
