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.

i can forgive saturday morning cartoon style 40K, but I can't forgive that narrator

 

[motherfucker]

So it's just battles all the way?

 

[Skorpion]

Not going to lie, some hype is creeping into this old exoskeleton

 

[MasPingon]

Why all Warhammer games look so cheap?

 

[Ibn Sina]

Pathfinder reskin.

*islamophobic slur*

 

[jungl]

ya it honestly doesn't look anything special. baldurs gate/nu xcom shovelware.

 

[zapotec]

I expect no less than 40k bugs from this new title at launch

Yes, the narration is pure cringe.

Yes, I just see a Pathfinder reskin except that this time the extra bit is not a stupid kingdom management / army minigame, but a stupid spaceship minigame.

No. Watched a little of an alpha stream, you walk around outside of combat.

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Honestly looks a little bit better than pathfinder.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Why do the graphics look like ASS?

Also, speaking of ass, how much gay ass shit have they put into this game?

Seeing as it's Owlcuck, I'll be disappointed if there's not at least one tranny space marine or a gay orc.

 

[Lady Error]

Looks promising actually and no Saturday morning cartoons, at least in the trailer.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

The enemy variety seems pretty impressive and I don't mind the graphics. Graphics and cartoon cinematics are gonna be the least of this game's problems, just like trannies are nowhere near the biggest problem in Wrath.

Cringe trailer and looks like a Cartoon Network cartoon

"Now that my squad of Space Wolf brothers has been slaughtered, I feel like I'm finally free to admit to you that I've never felt comfortable in this body. Please, let me join you and help me become the woman I've always longed to be."

 

[hivemind]

would be kino as hell

"Now that my squad of Space Wolf brothers has been slaughtered, I feel like I'm finally free to admit to you that I've never felt comfortable in this body. Please, let me join you and help me become the woman I've always longed to be."

No, they tried to kill her once she came out and she defended herself. Now she can finally be a proud woman that will not be put down any man any longer. Except Slanesh but zir is a zir.

 

[Skdursh]

Impulsively bought this because I'm a big fan of the Warhammer aesthetic.

Watch now as I learn to regret my non-refundable purchase and swear to never make the same mistake again (and yet do it again sometime).
