The universe of Warhammer 40,000 is a sprawling, daunting realm, teeming with extradimensional foes and antagonistic alien species. The Imperium of Man stands on the precipice, its survival threatened by millennia of ideological rigidity and rampant paranoia. It’s not exactly an ideal living environment, except for a fortunate select few such as the Rogue Traders—those daring individuals who wield significant political influence.
Now, speaking of these Rogue Traders, there’s a fantastic opportunity to get into their shoes without emptying your wallet. Right now, you can grab Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader on GOG and Green Man Gaming with an impressive 45% discount, pricing it at just $27.49, down from its original $49.99. This game is a top-notch CRPG, delving into the murky decisions and high-risk exploits that define the Rogue Trader’s life. Remarkably, it has surpassed 1 million copies sold since its release. In celebration, developer Owlcat Games is offering the game’s lowest price yet, but only for today.
If you’re looking to expand your adventure, the game’s first premium DLC pack, Void Shadows, is also up for grabs at a 20% discount on GOG, now priced at $14.39. This expansion adds significant new content mid-way through the game, thrusting the Rogue Trader and their compatriots into conflict with the sly Genestealer Cults. Meanwhile, the second DLC, Lex Imperialis, is on the horizon. Details are scarce, but it promises to be massive, probably focusing on the Imperium’s unique law enforcement arm, the Arbites.
It’s encouraging to see other CRPG titles shine following the monumental success of Baldur’s Gate 3. Another entry within the Warhammer 40K saga, Space Marine 2, continues to enjoy success post-launch. What the future holds for Rogue Trader after the Lex Imperialis expansion remains a mystery, but this expansive game is definitely worth diving into—especially while it’s on sale.
