In the sprawling darkness of the Koronus Expanse, where the light of the God-Emperor struggles to penetrate the shadows, a new chapter unfolds for intrepid Rogue Traders. The encrypted vox-casters crackle with foreboding news – the Void Shadows DLC, the first expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, looms on the horizon like a storm gathering in the warp. Brace yourselves, Lord Captains, for the veil between reality and nightmare is about to thin.
Developer Owlcat Games, stalwart custodians of our grimdark adventures, have unveiled the harrowing contents of Void Shadows. Set to manifest on August 8, this premium DLC promises to plunge players deeper into the abyss of the Expanse, where treachery and peril lurk in every shadowed corner of the void.
Prepare to navigate the treacherous currents of the Expanse alongside a new companion, Kibellah, a Death Cult Assassin shrouded in mystery and lethal skill. As her blade sings the hymns of retribution, the very fabric of your faith in the God-Emperor may be tested, for the secrets she harbors are as dark as the void itself.
The DLC weaves a new tale seamlessly into the tapestry of the main campaign, offering roughly fifteen hours of enthralling gameplay aboard the von Valancius voidship. But beware, for within the twisting corridors of your vessel, a new threat emerges – the insidious Genestealer Cult, infecting your crew with their tainted genetic code, twisting loyalty into betrayal with each passing moment.
But fear not, for alongside the darkness comes the promise of salvation. New crew members stand ready to aid you in your struggle, their loyalty a beacon in the blackest night. Explore uncharted depths and hidden sanctums aboard your voidship, for within their confines lie the keys to victory… or damnation.
And now, a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness – Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader stands ready to embark upon a new frontier, fully compatible with the Steam Deck. The developers at Owlcat Games have meticulously tailored the experience for seamless play, ensuring that even amidst the tumult of battle, the will of the God-Emperor shall prevail.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. But amidst the carnage and chaos, there are those who stand as beacons of hope, guiding us through the abyss with unwavering resolve. Will you take up the mantle of the Lord Captain, and navigate the treacherous currents of the Koronus Expanse? The choice is yours, for the fate of the Imperium hangs in the balance, and the shadows grow ever darker.
